The Goat’s Christams Surf Forecast and Christmas Meessage

Surf forecast issued Thursday 21 December 2023: Seven day outlook for Sydney

Wild and Wooly today, too wild to bother having a close look at he white water being pushed up by a strong southrly. Waves are around 4-6 metres outside according to the waveruder buoy. Despite the direction being form dead South, some swell, half the size of outside, is getting into some corners as a consequence of the 10+ second period, but along with the wind…meaning messy uninteresting mess.

The Surf Outlook

for the weekend, Christams, and into next week looks to be as follows

Friday:  easing back from Thursday to say around 2, 2+ metres South East

Saturday: simpliified – somewhere in the 1-2 metre range South East

Sunday: around 1 – 1+ metres East South East

Monday: dittoish Eastish

Tuesday: starting to come up through the 1-2 metre, 2-2+ metres vicinities Eastish

Wednesday: in the 1-2 metre range East

Thursday: easing back through the 1-2 metre rnage East
