Surf Forecast issued Thursday 16 August 2018: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
Couple of interesting features this week..
1 looks like there might be some waves on the horizon for next week… outta control at first, naturally, but it should settle down a bit after that, and
2 check out the Bureau’s cool new sea temp and current graphics below… so you can tell all the kids you saw it here first 🙂
Friday: not much happening, if anything at all
Saturday: ditto
Sunday: SSW wind to start ruffling up the surface and blow up some white water
Monday: in the 2ish – 3ish range at dead South spots, with SW wind to chop it up at first, then light
Tuesday:Â a bit more consistent… down a little in the 2-3 metre range South East and with offshore wind
Wednesday: down into the 1-2 metre rnage dead South places
Thursday: around 1 metre or so dead South.
Have fun… Stay cool.. Stay warm.. Stay safe.

Down in the Sea
Water temp is a chilly 16-17…
TG is always on the lookout for new ways to keep you entertained… and looky here.. cool new graphics from the Bureau, showing temperature and currents. Now you can see how the East Coast Current behaves 🙂
Up on the web, pretty much as of todayish …So you can say you saw it here first (as you always have 🙂 (apart from on the BoM website of course if you looked there.)
“From mid-August 2018, the Bureau will be making improvements to the ocean forecast map viewer (Sea temperatures and Currents pages) that will greatly improve readability and provide detailed forecasts using higher resolution regional tiles.”
