The Goats Surf Forecast

The Goats Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 5 December 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney:

Lots of wind changes ahead according to the BoM forecast below.

That will keep surf levels down and blow smoke back in your face that you thought had gone away… Personally Im limiting my outdoor exercise to times when the smoke isnt around.

But at least youll be able to get in the surf… Its only a few years back that it was unhealthy to go in the surf because of the murky runoff from the Hawkesbury after torrential rains!…

There should be some fun waves around from time to time, at the right place, right tide, right wind, right board, for the right rider!

The surf outlook in short..

Friday: around 1 metre or less at places exposed to dead South

Saturday:  around 1 metre or maybe a fraction more on sets at dead South spots

Sunday: ditto

Monday: ditto

Tuesday: ditto North East

Wednesday: ditto East

Thursday: ditto dead South

Stay healthy. Have Fun!
