The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 14 December 2023: Seven day outlook for Sydney

Warm one today, but there’s a Southerly on the way to cool you down… Expect to hear lots of doors banging. curtains flapping between 9 and 10pm looks like.

Surf was unexciting, but the water was wet for anyone so inclined,

The surf outlook for the weekend and week ahead is mostly smallish North, South and in between wave direction varieties depending on which way the wind happens to feel like blowing.

Go with low expectations and you won’t be disappointed.

Or you could go with hope in your heart and stike it lucky at the right tide, right place with the right equipment

The choice is yours 🙂

Friday: say around 1 ish or so metres at places open to windy waves pushed by windy Southerly wind

Saturday: say around 1-1+ metres South East going down through the day

Sunday: may around 1 ish or 1+ metres at dead South places

Monday: ditto Eastish

Tuesday: around 1 or 1+ metres North East

Wednesday: ditto

Thursday: maybe up a little from South South East

Lots of variety for you.
