TG’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 18 May 2023: Seven day outlook for Sydney
Feeling the cold wind at places exposed to it today, I’m convinced that some people have no feelings, or have ice in their veins.
While I was sensibly wearing multi-layers of insulation, I saw two punters (two only) – good riders – clearly enjoying 2 metre close outs that involved a steep late take off, followed by a wall for a blink, then a swallow up in the churned sand waves.
Wind? What wind ….
Cold?? No idea what you mean…
And they kept doing it to themselves, time and again.
I could only relate to it by thinking that they must have felt really good when they stopped doing it!
TG was wearing a horse rug and still complained about the cold.
He says the surf outlook is
Friday: around 2 ish metres at places open the dead South swell, or a little less
Saturday: upper end of the 1-2 metre range South East
Sunday: down a bit in the 1-2 metre range South East before starting to come up with SSW swell
Monday: somewhere in the 2-3 metre range at places open to dead South
Tuesday: 1.5 – 2 metres dead South places
Wednesday: down, around 1 – 1+metres dead South
Thursday: dittoish.
Stay well.
