The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Saturday update: There is a little swell coming in already at South facing beaches… about 1 metre or so. Not too crowded as the air is a bit chilly.  Currently 10 but apparent temp is 4.  Nice conditions ..clear blue sky, light offshore W/WNW/WSW wind, and the sun is shining on the golden cliffs.  Low tide’s around 9.  Have a good one.
