Surf forecast issued Thursday 12 October 2023: Seven day outlook for Sydney
Today was small early – ok for longboards at some spots – then it just went blurgh as the wind increased
The outlook is for increases and decreases in surf size, mainly within the 1-2 metre range, at places open to dead South.. but with the ups driven by the wind behind it, making quality messy.
Light wind spells some offshores and opposing wind/swell could provide some better quality opportunities at times… stay on the alert.
Sealife around: whales just offshore; stingrays just off the beach. Goats on the land.
Friday: leftovers from today at first, then starting to come up from dead South in the 1-2 metre range as the wind picks up..then easing back
Saturday: say around 1, or 1+ metres at dead South spots, variable winds
Sunday: similar or could be a bit more size from dead South, with NW/NE winds according to the BoM
Monday: around 1-1+ metres dead South
Tuesday: in the 1-2 metre range dead South
Wednesday: down a bit, say around 1 – 1+ metres dead South
Thursday: similar
