The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 29 October 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney:

Been a pretty ordinary week of weather and wave conditions most of the time. It even felt like it was winter again. But there were opportunities at times for the keen and fit enthusiasts…

The more sensitive souls with a few years of experience of such conditions behind them, chose not to play.

The outlook for the week ahead looks like more variable weather, winds and surf quality, but there will be waves of sorts.

Keen players should be ready to pounce on possibilities as they arise>>>

Friday: easing back from Thursday, in the 1-2 metre range East South East…

Saturday: …before kicking up a notch in the 1-2 metre range Eastish

Sunday: coming up more into the 2-3 metre range East North East, with southerly type winds later

Monday: easing back in the 1-2 metre range Eastish, with southerly winds

Tuesday: in the lower end of the 1-2 metre range East

Wednesday: ditto, with freshening NE winds

Thursday: ditto for the surf.

Keep smiling 🙂
