The Goat’s Surf Forecast
The Goat’s Surf Forecast Surf forecast issued Thursday 11 February 2021: Seven day outlook for Sydney: Today, whether you had wind (that’s wind in your face… not wind from your face)or not, and whether you had waves (that’s waves on the ocean… not waves from pretty girls or boys) or not, depended on where you […]
High tide surf morning
Hello Friends, It was swampy thanks to the 1.8 metre 0900 high tide. But wind was light and it was beautiful and clean. Waves ranged from knee high to chest plus depending on the bank and the beach. Manly probably wasn’t seeing much above the waist high mark, but Curly was picking up shoulder plus […]
Full, glassy and waves
Hello Friends, Did a Manly run this morning and can tell you that before 0900 surface conditions were glassy everywhere, waves were in the chest to shoulder high range on sets at best exposures – but – the 1.8 metre high tide at 0815 was making everywhere very fat and full. So it was pretty […]
Fat, full and un-fabulous early
Hello Friends, A faintly cool late summer morning with partly cloudy skies and 10 kts of SSE wind before 0700 as Tuesday kicked off along the beaches. There is a bit of swell around, but the 1.8 metre high tide at 0720 was making the already textured conditions fat and full. Swell at sea was […]
Southerly Monday
Hello Friends, Back to grey skies and southerlies. Wind was pushing along at 11-17 kts by 0730. Out at sea the swell jumped up significantly since yesterday afternoon and it was 2.7 metres at 8 seconds from 167°. The forecast tells us to expect it to fade across the morning. Water is 23C and today […]
Sunny Sunday morning with waves
Hello Friends, A beautiful late summer morning along the beaches with mostly sunny skies, a light WSW breeze and 1.4 metres of 10-second ENE wind swell. Waves look to be in the waist plus range at the best exposures. Ocean temp is on 23C and we’re due to see a high of 28C. The wind […]
Waves to be had early
Hello Friends, Cloudy skies and 10-12 kts of NE wind by 0700 with 2 metres of 8-second east swell meant chest to shoulder plus sets at magnets. Waves didn’t look too juicy, but they were big enough to ensure you had enough face to work with. And it wasn’t looking particularly crowded. Tide was coming […]
Occasional sets but mostly small
Hello Friends, A sunny, warm day with 1.3 metres of 7 to 8 second east wind swell wafting into the beaches. Some of the sets looked to be into the shoulder high range, but there’s not much in between. Tide is low at 0925 and will be back to a moderate 1.3 metre high at […]
The Goat’s Surf Forecast
The Goat’s Surf Forecast Surf forecast issued Thursday 4 February 2021: Seven day outlook for Sydney: From what I saw of the surf today, there were clearly some people who, when looking at the surf must have said to themselves, Yum Yum. I don’t know for sure, but I imagine they would be the same […]
Waves about
Hello Friends, A sunny 29C day coming up for the beaches. And there were lightly choppy waist high waves at the point and along the beach at Dee Why. Low tide was at 0810 and will be back to high at 1415. Swell at sea was 1.5 metres from the SE at 10-11 seconds. Water […]
