The Goat’s Surf Forecast
The Goat’s Surf Forecast Surf forecast issued Thursday 23 April 2020; Seven day outlook for Sydney: Lovely weather, nice water temp, and some more of you will be able to get back in the water soon, to take a load off other beaches… but the surf outlook is small to small… Who cares.. it’s nice […]
Another sunny and tiny day at the beach
Hello Friends, Not a day for surfing at Dee Why. You could go for a walk along the sand with the family, but it’s paddle exercise only in the ocean this morning. I’m getting back on the bike for my daily exercise later. Hundreds of others have the same idea, so I’ve taken to avoiding […]
Beautiful day, but no waves to speak of
Hello Friends, Swell at sea is hanging around the 0.6 metre mark at 9-10 seconds from the SSE. There was no sign of surfable waves at Dee Why though. Wind was around 10 kts from the WNW at 0730. Weather should be sunny all day and going to a summery 26C. Water temp’s on 22C. […]
Zippo on Tuesday morning
Hello Friends, Only half a metre at 11 seconds from the SSE out at sea on what is otherwise a beautiful Autumn morning along the beaches. There’s no surf, so you’ll have to come up with alternative exercise options. The forecast models are all telling us that the flatness will likely persist through the weekend […]
Grey skies, smooth seas, occasional waves
Hello Friends, Swell has faded overnight as expected but there were still a few waist to chest plus sets turning up between the lulls. The grey skies and slight chill to the air seem to have decreased the crowds at Dee Why. Only a few people at the point sitting out the long waits for […]
More swell, more crowds for Sunday morning
Hello Friends, There’s a 70% chance of showers for today, but this morning was sunny over the beaches (albeit with clouds off to the south). Swell has bumped up a little since yesterday morning and as of 0910 was 1.8 m from 183° (dead south) at 11 seconds. Swell looked to be missing the point […]
Clean small and crowding up quickly
Hello Friends, Clean, little and a bit chilly as Saturday kicked off along the beaches. Water was getting crowded at anywhere with a plausible peak. Swell at sea was 1.7 m at 11-12 seconds apart from 169° (south by SSE) but along the beaches the size ranged from knee to waist to waist to chest […]
Sunny and crazy crowded again
Hello Friends, After a dull old Thursday during which the waves did actually improve, this morning sees yet another day of surf for the exercise seekers. And boy are there a lot of them at the point. No way separation is being consistently maintained out there. As of Wednesday evening, there were 150 cases of […]
The Goat’s Surf Forecast Etc
The Goat’s Surf Forecast Etc Surf forecast issued Thursday 16 April 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney: TG has been contemplating his navel. I don’t know if it’s an optical illusion or not, but it seems to be getting bigger! When the surf is any good, (or when it might be suitable for him), he […]
Back to tiny
Hello Friends, High overcast this morning, wind was light from the NNW as of 0900. Yesterday’s swell looked like it might last into another day, but at least where Dee Why’s concerned, it’s faded away. Out at sea heights were still a respectable 1.7 metres and period’s a useful 12 seconds. Swell is coming from […]
