The Goat’s Surf Forecast

The Goat’s Surf Forecast Surf forecast issued Thursday 31 October 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Very small today, but at the right tide with the right board it’s amazing at times to watch what young/fit agile people can make of what little is available and have fun, which is after all the object of […]

Super smoky

Hello Friends, UPDATE from Longy Very heavy smoke pollution this morning. So polluted in fact that I couldn’t see the beach from a kilometre away. The MHL buoy is showing 1.2 metres of SE at 11 seconds apart as of 0400. Wind was N-NE at 2 kts as of 0730. Next tide is a high […]

Very smoky morning along the coast

Hello Friends, Not a good day for organisms that enjoy breathing, but it must be particularly bad for those with asthma etc. There’s very little wave activity at Dee Why, so passing on a paddle won’t involve missing much. The MHL buoy was seeing 1.4 metres of 7-second wind bump from the south as of […]

Postcard from … Munich!

Went for a wander along the beautiful Isar River yesterday around (20 kms from Munich) and to our surprise we noticed a couple of young guys carrying surfboards. A short distance later on we came upon the Ickinger Weir where they were surfing a standing wave. Evidently the wave is formed by a submerged log […]

Small to tiny but not flat for Tuesday morning

Hello Friends, We had light breezes for the early. Skies were hazy but mostly free of cloud and there seems to be a little south swell trickling in. It didn’t look too consistent at Dee Why and size was in the knee high range with maybe the odd bigger one. Out at sea the MHL […]

Little Monday but not flat Monday

Hello Friends, Small lines coming into Dee Why this morning were delivering knee high waves at the point and maybe a touch bigger up the beach. A light westerly was giving the ocean a little texture and out at sea a few hours earlier, the MHL buoy was seeing 1.3 metres from the S-SSE at […]

Sunny Sunday with little waves too

Hello Friends, Looks as though there are a few fun little knee to waist plus sets along the beach at Dee Why. No one was in the water at the point, although I did see a set wave that looked mal-able. Wind was coming lightly from the SW at 0900. Tide was high at 0815 […]

Whadya know, not totally flat on Saturday morning

Hello Friends, Looks very tiny most places this morning, but if Northy is any guide, north corners are picking up waist plus waves. However, if you’re thinking about Dee Why, expect ankle to knee at the south end and knee to thigh up toward Longy. But there’s a bit of a wait in lake like […]

Hot and micro

Hello Friends, Less than a metre of 10-sec SSE bump out at sea means that we go into Friday with no surf prospects at Dee Why – or anywhere else in Sydney. We’re headed to a high of 36C along the coast. Water is sitting on 19C. Outlook you ask? Ah, we have the wisdom […]

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

The Goat’s Surf Forecast Surf forecast issued Thursday 25 October 2019 Seven day outlook for Sydney: Decidedly small today, and the outlook for the week ahead is for no significant change. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t be okay for some people…. mal riders might be able to find a small wave from time […]
