The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 16 May 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney:

Fabulous weather, fabulous water, and what can you say about the waves??

Sometimes they’ve been ok… sometimes not.

The outlook for the week ahead is for mostly more good weather… and mostly more not so good waves.

But who knows… with mostly light winds expected, you might be able to catch a wave at the right tide, right place with the right board…

Let’s keep it simple:

Friday through Wednesday: 1 metre or less at places open to dead South; flat elsewhere

And then Thursday: smaller still! maybe just flat.

Good Luck!  And just chillax.
