The Goat’s Surf Forecast

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 14 November 2019:

Seven day outlook for Sydney:

Waves popped up this morning at places open to dead South swell, but it was short lived and has eased back now. To be precise the swell height didn’t actually pop up, but the period did, so more energy was able to get in to receptive beaches.

The outlook, with variable winds and weather forecast, is not looking too exciting.

Let’s keep it rooly simple… cause that’s what I am>>>

Any waves are likely to get in to places open to dead South… other places aren’t likely to see anything much…

Friday – next Thursday: If it’s 1 metre ish or so dead South, be happy.

If it’s not, still be happy.
