The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Wednesday 20 June 2018: Seven day outlook for Sydney:

Early forecast this week..

Why?..

Just because I can..

It feels like it’s been cold and wet and windy forever, and it’s only been a couple of days!  Surf conditions have been less than attractive for most people and, as I haven’t seen any whales at all for the last couple of days (previous days random counts 27, 15, 41..), I suspect they too are sheltering from the unpleasant ocean conditions, in protected corners or bays, before continuing their northward journey.

But with weather conditions generally improving over coming days there could be some surfable waves for the keen people, and whales might start to appear again.  The surf outlook looks like this:

Thursday: easing back from today, but still in the upper 1-2 metre range East South East

Friday: ditto (TG is a goat of few words)

Saturday: dittoish, maybe down slightly, but still with sets

Sunday: could be a little change in direction, with waves starting to come up in the 1-2 metre range from dead South at those places that are open to them

Monday: upper end of the 1-2 metre range at places open to dead South swell

Tuesday: ditto

Wednesday: ditto again.

Hope you have a good one.
