The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 21 March 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney:

Nothing too thrilling on the horizon as far as surf goes. Small to medium mostly and with various winds. There are some times when light winds or slightly offshore are forecast and you might be able to jag a rideable wave.  Otherwise… just relaaxx.

Let’s keep it simple:

Friday: somewhere in the lower half of the 1-2 metre range from the East (light winds)

Saturday: ditto (light, N,NE, light)

Sunday: down to around 1 metre East (light, SE)

Monday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range North East (light. NW)

Tuesday: ditto (SW)

Wednesday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range at dead South places (SSW)

Thursday: ditto (S)

Don’t forget to vote on Saturday.

You know those animals they say can pick the outcome of elections… Well The Goat is running around like a headless chook!  Don’t know what that means.
