The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 11 October 2018: Seven day outlook for Sydney:

What kind of weather do you call this!!!?? It’s cold, wet, windy, uninviting, and the surf matches it.

Six weeks of lovely warm to hot weather in Europe and assorted places in between and I come back to this!

Oh well, six whales showed they were happy to see me back… At least, I assume that’s why they were leaping about.

For those keen on getting themselves wet(ter)…

The surf outlook looks overall to be biggish, but messy for the next few days.  Conditions might improve from Monday onwards and still sizeable.

Friday: bit bigger than today.. say around 2, 2+ metres South East but messy

Saturday: uppish end of the 1-2 metre range South East, though the sets might have a little punch, and coming up through the day

Sunday: in the 2-3ish metre range East

Monday: 2-3 metres East North East and maybe a bit bigger on the sets

Tuesday: dittoish

Wednesday: easing back in the 2-3 metre range East North East

Thursday: ditto
