The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 6 February 2020: Seven day outlook:
Great to see the rain… and some more good falls are forecast over coming days.
There’ll be continuing waves from the East, courtesy of a big High, but the forecast is for the waves and the rain to come with wind, which never does a lot for surf quality… You can’t have it all.
Maybe from around Tuesday onward the surf might start looking more human-friendly.
In the meantime there’s plenty of other things to do…
Friday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range, or maybe a little bigger, East
Saturday: coming up more. say 3-4 metres, or more, East, but with the wind and the rain I don’t think the size will really matter… the Ocean will be whipping itself into a frenzy by the look of things
Sunday: And a big Ditto… or in other words, Beach Closed
Monday: Still up, say 3-4 metres, possibly more, East, although wind conditions may, or may not, be a little calmer
Tuesday: somewhere around the 2=3 metre range East… might be looking better
Wednesday: around 2 metres or so East
Thursday: in the 1-2 metre range, with sets, East North East
Friday: in the 1-2 metre range East North East
Btw, All these onshore conditions are bringing in the blueys, just to add to the mixture of marine delights on this week’s menu…
