The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 18 January 2024: Seven day outlook for Sydney

Our roving reporter reported when he was roving, that the surf this arvo looked pretty ordinary.

But hey look…the weather’s warm, we’ve had some rain to clear the air, people are pretty chilled.. so what if the surf’s a bit ordinary.

There are still waves of sorts around, to take advantage of when you can take advantage of them, at the right place and right time.

The surf outlook is

Friday: around 1 – 1+ metres East

Saturday: ditto

Sunday: ditto

Monday: coming up from the south with southerly winds, say around 2 metres or so of southerly windblown stuff

Tuesday: easing back into the 1-2 metre range South East

Wednesday: 1-1+ metres East South East

Thursday: 1 metre or so East South East

Enjoy what you can, when you can…

And…

Have Fun and Keep Smiling !
