The Goat’s Surf Forecast

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 19 November 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney:

Another quick one from TBG (The Bionic Goat), cause he’s tired, worn out, needs a rest, and he says there’s not much to get too excited about anyway…

But who doesn’t like variety in their weather conditions, wind directions, wave directions, and general lives, hey??

Surf outlook is for mostly small to medium conditions for the weekend and week ahead.

But for those who want to get wet there should be waves from time to time, if you’ve got the right gear, and the right attitude. You might just have to look for them.

Friday: around 1-1+ metres of Noreast windswell

Saturday: leftovers from the above and chopped and whipped into submission by S/SE winds

Sunday: 1 metre or less at places open to dead South… lesser elsewhere

Monday: Ditto but North Eastish

Tuesday: up a little into the low end of the 1-2 metre range South East

Wednesday: down a little and more East

Thursday: Dittoish

Keep your eyes peeled for Opportunities.

TBG says he’ll be good as new very soon, once the battery recharges.
