The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Posted on March 21st, 2019 in Goat's Forecast.Surf forecast issued Thursday 21 March 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
Nothing too thrilling on the horizon as far as surf goes. Small to medium mostly and with various winds. There are some times when light winds or slightly offshore are forecast and you might be able to jag a rideable wave. Otherwise… just relaaxx.
Let’s keep it simple:
Friday: somewhere in the lower half of the 1-2 metre range from the East (light winds)
Saturday: ditto (light, N,NE, light)
Sunday: down to around 1 metre East (light, SE)
Monday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range North East (light. NW)
Tuesday: ditto (SW)
Wednesday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range at dead South places (SSW)
Thursday: ditto (S)
Don’t forget to vote on Saturday.
You know those animals they say can pick the outcome of elections… Well The Goat is running around like a headless chook! Don’t know what that means.

The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Posted on March 14th, 2019 in Goat's Forecast.Surf forecast issued Thursday 14 March 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
The overriding feature of coming days appears to be rain, wind, and thunderstorms and more rain and wind and thunderstorms.
The surf? It’ll be messy and you don’t want to be in the water when the thunderstorms are around, and the water will be dirty from the rain runoff.
It’ll be somewhere variously in the 1-2 metre range all week, from the East turning South East later in the week. There’ll be light winds at times but with residual chop and all things considered I can’t imagine that anywhere will be attractive. But of course some people will go in anyway,
Oh well we need the rain.
Check back next week.

TG’s Surf Forecast
Posted on February 22nd, 2019 in Goat's Forecast.Surf forecast issued Thursday 21 February 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
TC Oma is up north but is affecting the weather and surf outlook depending on where she decides to go and the interaction with a High and a Low down south. At the moment she’s tracking here
- She can always change her mind but based on the present situation the surf outlook for here (it’ll be bigger and messier up north, but could get nasty in a lot of places) … The weather here has that tropical feel to it but Note the direction of the main swell for us in Sydney.. mainly from the south/east south east than coming down from Oma up north. Interesting days ahead:
Friday: in the 1-2 metre range at dead South places and starting to come up from the south during the day
Saturday: 1-2 metres, 2ish metres and increasing through the day East South East
Sunday: 2-3, 3-4 metres at dead South places
Note the BoM warning: Large and powerful surf conditions are expected to be hazardous for coastal activities such as rock fishing, swimming and surfing. Surf Life Saving NSW recommends only swimming at patrolled beaches and between the red and yellow flags. (That’s if they’re up!)
Monday: 3-4 metres East South East
Tuesday: 2-3 metres East South East
Wednesday: 2-3 metres East North East, with sets
Thursday: 2-2+ metres East North East
ALL SUBJECT TO CHANGE as the spinning tops move around
Take care. Stay safe.

The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Posted on February 14th, 2019 in Goat's Forecast.Surf forecast issued Thursday 14 February 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
While you’ve been enjoying? warm weather in Sydney I’ve been enduring cold winds coming up from Antarctica. To make matters worse the winds didn’t even bring up any surf where I’ve been.
Between the cold air, the cold water, and the .. surf… I haven’t seen any reason to take my board off the car, so far. Maybe tomorrow?
But you don’t care about that do you?
And hey… In Victoria I’ve seen so many Goat’s Cheese this, Goat’s Cafe that, Goat’s Meat !!??!!… thank goodness I’m back in NSW !(?)
So in Sydney, I don’t think I’ve missed much surf from what I’ve been told.
Friday: easing back into the lower end of the 1-2 metre range South East
Saturday:around 1 metre or so or possibly less South East
Sunday: 1 metre or so East
Monday:coming up a little in the 1-2 metre range Eastish
Tuesday: coming up at places open the dead South after a change, say in the 1-2 metre range at those places
Wednesday: dittoish
Thursday: down to around 1 metre or so East South East.
Have a good one!

The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Posted on January 31st, 2019 in Goat's Forecast.Surf forecast issued Thursday 31 January 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
The kids are back at school, mums and dads are back at work, the weather’s been pretty good, conditions should be ideal… But then
Nothing’s been happening…and that’ll be it for the week given all the wind changes forecast.
Hot now … 39 on the coast around 4pm…but a cool change is on the way…passed through Jervis Bay around 3pm doing around 40kph with gusts around 60-70 kph. You work out when it’ll get here 🙂 something to do in the heat.
And here’s something else for you. I haven’t given you a singalong surf forecast for a while … close your eyes and listen. Close your eyes I said! Hahaha.
To stay Cool as Mungo:
Sit in the shade
Drink lots of cool liquids
Wear a hat – to dive in and out of the water.
Friday: somewhere around the upper end of the 1-2 metre range at places that get dead South waves..but will have S wind with it
Saturday: down slightly South East with onshores
Sunday: ditto again within 1-2 metre range but more East, with NE wind
Monday: ditto to that
Tuesday: ditto to that, but with a S wind change expected by the BOM from late Monday
Wednesday: in the 1-2 metre range South East
Thursday: And ditto.
Who knows.. you might be able to catch some waves you can ride if you’re not too fussy.
Have a good one!

The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Posted on January 24th, 2019 in Goat's Forecast.Surf forecast issued Thursday 24 January 2019:
Seven day outlook for Sydney:
Nothing too exciting happening, now or through the week ahead.
Today there’s about 1 metre or so of sort of waves from the South East that are getting into places that are open to it, but it’s messy with the wind behind it.
Friday: something similar, though with a light Noreaster..could be ok for the kids at the right tide
Saturday: ever so slightly bigger say 1-1+ metres North East, but with SE wind
Sunday: much the same
Monday: about the same but with light winds
Tuesday: similar, wind turning NE
Wednesday: dittoish
Thursday: and again.
Looks like it’ll be pot luck if you find a suitable wave at the right place, right tide.
Have a good one and have a Happy Australia Day Long Weekend!

The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Posted on January 17th, 2019 in Goat's Forecast.Surf forecast issued Thursday 17 January 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
360 degree view…not a cloud in the deep blue sky. The sea is sparkling. The sun is shining. Pretty as a picture. A great day for the beach today..except for.. well, you know… waves~~~
Now you might say the surf hasn’t been great, and you might be right.
But I couldn’t help but notice – because there’s 10 of ’em right in your face whenever you go in the water – that the kids are having a ball!
They think it’s great!!
And believe it or not, there are occasional waves that you’re happy to catch, among the rubbish, if you fluke being in the right spot at the right tide and are patient. If you’re not, cool down with a swim.
For the coming week… stay cool…some more hot days are forecast. If you’re lucky enough to be able to get wet, then just getting wet is likely to be the most excitement you can expect at the beach. Or, you could just be lucky enough to fluke that occasional freak wave – ie, one that’s rideable.
Watch out for blueys… there were a few biggies floating around today.
Stay happy!
TG
Friday: continuing North East windswell, somewhere in the 1-2 metre range depending on where you are along the beach
Saturday: an early morning southerly change – starting out at 25-40 kph according to the BoM – will knock that down and chop it up and generally make it unpleasant on the beach (kids, and visitors, and anyone else)
Sunday: small end of the 1-2 metre range at places that get dead South windblown waves, and onshore
Monday: 1 metre or less at dead South places
Tuesday: 1 metre or less East South East
Wednesday: 1 metre or less North East, then another Southerly wind change to chop that up
Thursday: back to NE wind and small waves

The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Posted on January 10th, 2019 in Goat's Forecast.Surf forecast issued Thursday 10 January 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
All that huffing and puffing today won’t bring up much surf, but there should be waves of varying sorts all week for those still on holiday. A few wind changes, but some more warm weather ahead to.
I can sympathise with those who had to go back to work this week. Last night I had a terrible dream. I was driving round and around and couldn’t find a damn parking spot in Manly to catch the ferry to work.
Proving that things always look better in the morning… when I woke up I remembered that I’m retired! Haha.
Surf outlook:
Friday 11/1: in the 1-2 metre range South East/East, easing back through the day
Saturday: as a Noreaster picks up so will the surf, somewhere in the 1-2 metre range North East… might be some little sets from Eastish
Sunday: change in direction again with the wind .. somewhere in the 1-2 metre range South East, with maybe occasional sets from the East
Monday: in the 1-2 metre range at dead South places..not much elsewhere
Tuesday: 1-2 metre range East South East
Wednesday: 1-2 metre range Eastish
Thursday: 1-2 metre range East North East.
Enjoy, if you’re on holidays.
If you’ve gotta go to work… earn some money for your next holiday :
