The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Friday 5 July 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney:

The solid Easterly swell that’s been around all week was still pushing in at some places, although was getting somewhat smaller …
The onshore wind of the last couple of days looks like continuing for a little while yet, .so surf quality might be messy and bumpy.
However it might not be too bad early on  if there’s a light offshore early on before the onshore starts up again.
But whatever the quality,  with the school holidays just starting, you can bet there’ll be lots of energetic kids and desperate people out there taking advantage of whatever wave there is available…
The Easterly swell and surf should continue over the weekend then get smaller until about Wednesday when a new southerly swell should start to come up at places open to due South.  Thursday it looks like being around head high and more East South East so will get into more places but size should diminish somewhat by Friday.
Saturday:  should be in the 1-2 metre range from the East… still with some sets at the upper end of the range

Sunday: should be going down more, say around 1.5 metres from the East, but still with sets
Monday: 1-2 metre range going down to around 1 1+ metres East
Tuesday: around 1 metre East
Wednesday:coming up at dead south places in the 1-2 metre range
Thursday: in the 1-2 metre range East South East with sets
Friday: around 1ish metres.
Have fun
