The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 7 September 2023: Seven day outlook for Sydney

Spring is sprung

The grass is ris

I wonder where the birdies is.

There have been a couple of days that felt like early Spring this week, pleasant air temps and cold Nor Easters /Nor Westerlies, blowing across the still cold ocean waters. That’ll change of course but the participants this week when there have been waves have been mainly schoolkids or young people not concerned about how it “feels”… That’ll change too of course, as they get “more mature” (older). Change is the constant… especially in our part of the world.

And there’s plenty of wind variety on the way~~~~~~~~

Surfwise, the likely outlook looks like 🙂

Friday: around 1 ish or 1 + metres North East

Saturday: around 1 ish metres or less at places that get dead South swell

Sunday: 1 ish to 1+ metres at dead South spots

Monday: starting to come up from the South say 1-2 metre range 2 ish metres

Tuesday: dittoish

Wednesday: say around 2 metres maybe more from dead South

Thursday: something similar

Stay cool… or warm.
