The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 5 October 2023

The fresh north/northwest/northeast winds brought up some waves yesterday from the North/North East, which looked quite messy because of the wind. These cleaned up this morning, with the offshore at first helping, but the fresh west/west south west wind knocked size back as the day progressed.

We’ve also had some variety with temperatures this week

From tomorrow, get set for some more variety with the wind and swell direction, and temperatures…

Friday: leftovers at first then starting to come up somewhere in the 1-2 metre range at places open to due South, with southerly wind behind it

Saturday: dittoish

Sunday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range dead South, messy later

Monday: easing back around 1 – 1+ metres dead South (with the Bureau expecting north/ noreast wind)

Tuesday: ditto waves, messy later

Wednesday: 1-1+ metres South South East

Thursday: dittoish.
