The Goat’s Surf Forecast issued Thursday 3 October 2019

Seven day outlook for Sydney:

Beaut day today and enough movement in the water to keep the young kids on school hols happy.

Using the cutting edge technology available to him and his gut feel, TG can confidently say to you… the outlook for the week ahead is for…

Variable weather ^V.. Variable winds>><<.. Variable waves ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just try and keep up, OK?

Friday: you can expect some small Noreast windswell at first, say around 1 metre or so, then a southerly change will bring wind and chop

Saturday: maybe around 1 metre at places open to dead South

Sunday: lowish end of the 1-2 metre range South East, then turning North East

Monday: around 1 metre North East

Tuesday: around 1 metre or so North East before it turns South

Wednesday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range, probably lowish end, at dead South places’ nothing much elsewhere

Thursday: sort of ditto.

I think that’s enough to keep you going for the moment…
