The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 29 February 2024: Seven day outlook for Sydney

Everyone’s hot and tired..so just give em the Facts

The Facts are

It’s hot and steamy and it’s nighttime in Sydney right now… And it reminds me of a time long ago in Luanda Angola.. except back then there was the added discomfort that a rebel mortar could lob over the fence at any time.

We probably will get some rain overnight.

Surf outlook

The surf is small… and unenergetic, like TG.

It will get bigger through the week… but with wind (like TG?)

Friday: around 1 ish or less North East/ East South East

Saturday: ditto North East/South East

Sunday: little waves from dead South with wind, at dead South spots. say 1 – 1+ metres

Monday: starting to come up from dead South say 1-2, 2ish metres at places that get dead South swell

Tuesday: around 2 ish, maybe 2 + metres dead South

Wednesday: ditto South South East

Thursday: easing back around 2 ish metres South East

That’s it. Time for a cold drink.

Stay cool.

TG.

There might be a quiz later for those who’ve looked up Angola. TG likes to think he’s part of your ongoing education. He’s an idiot.
