The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Friday 12 May 2023: Seven day outlook for Sydney
What a rip snorter of a day today (Friday) was. Sunny all day..Warm air from late morning to after the middle of the day when a cool Northerly started to chill the air in the shade. Waves around with several people enjoying them, though as a result of the surf conditions we’ve had ealireer in the week, some banks have been rearranged… so where there were waves before, there’s some deep holes now, and breaks are in different spots. Water temp was said to be warm but TG didn’t get a chance to test it.
The surf outlook is for swell size to decrease tomorrow with plenty of small to medium waves, thru to Wednesday when a southerly is expected to bring wind and swell with it…
Saturday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range South East going down through the day. IRB carnival on at Queenscliff >>>Go Av!
Sunday: round 1 ish metres East
Monday: ditto South East
Tuesday: ditto East at dead South spots
Wednesday: starting to come up at places open to dead South, ranging through say 1-2 metres, 2-2+ metres due South during the day
Thursday: eased back to somwhere in the 1-2 metre range at dead South spots
Friday: in the 1-2 metre range South East
Enjoy, if and when you can…
Grit your teeth. if and when you can’t…. And try to think nice thoughts about those who can… and count your blessings.. 🙂
Happy Birthday Roy!
Your shout tomorrow night.
