Surf forecast issued Thursday 4 May 2023: Seven day outlook for Sydney
The surf is currently pumping at places that like dead South swell and is not suitable for beginners, unless you can find a spot at one of the sheltered South corners. Otherwise, it’s only for the fit and experienced… And it’s dark right now anyway.
It’ll be a different story tomorrow as a Low down off the far South Coast moves out into the Tasman and takes the swell it generates with it.
Then a coupla days rest, and then it should be up again from another Low expected to develop down South.
Friday: going down somewhere in the 1-2 metre range at dead South spots
Saturday: say around 1 metre or so South East
Sunday: ditto East
Monday: starting to come up again, around say 3-4 metres dead South
Tuesday: Similar
Wednesday: Hmm looks similar
Thursday: Could be say 2-3 ish metres dead South
Stay safe. Know your own limitations and play it safe, especially in the colder weather.
