The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 7 March 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Looks like waves of sorts for the coming week, with the surf at times following the wind changes that are forecast, but a day behind… Could make it amusing or annoying… Anyhoo..

Size at sea overnight but messy early
Hello Friends, Despite the MHL buoy showing 3.7 metres from the SSE at 10 seconds, conditions this morning are not likely to be too attractive. At 0630 the south wind was already in the 15-20 kt range, in fact I should stay it was still 15-20 kts as it has been since yesterday. The ocean […]

Wind swell is 2 plus […]
