Surf Outlook
Over the last coupla days, all TG could see was white water and onshores… and more whitewater and onshores… so like most people, he did other things.
Looks like conditions should slowly ease back to more Human and Goat friendly conditions over the next coupla days, but small to medium waves should hang around – in various wind conditions > with changes in wave direction ~ over the coming week.
So there should be plenty of options for your water based exercise and physical and mental excitations.
TG doesn’t know what that word means, but he heard it in a Beach Boys song some time ago so he thinks it must have something to do with the surf.
Friday: Easing back somewhat from Thursday arvo, but still in the upper end of the 1-2 metre range, going down slightly thru the day, and still with some oomph behind it
Saturday: 1 – 1+ metres East/ North East
Sunday: coming up a little in the 1-2 metre range North East
Monday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range North East
Tuesday: ditto for Australia Day
Wednesday: ditto East North East
Thursday: ditto East
Happy Straya Day on Chewsday >>> Have a good one everyone!!
Stay Safe in and out of the water.

The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Posted on January 14th, 2021 in Goat's Forecast.The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 14 January 2021: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
Is that my tummy rumbling?? No it’s thunder, with a few flashes and little spots of rain. Which means to avoid the possibility of being zapped if you’re at the beach or in the water, you don’t want to be.
In answer to Bobby’s question at the beach.. when will the southerly come?… hmm little bit later tonite up here. It’s currently, as TG puts his hoofs to the keys, to the south of Syd. But the Bureau doesn’t expect it to stay around long. And TG doesn’t expect much in the way of surf from the initial blow…maybe in a few days.
In answer to Hector who wants instant gratification, see below>>>
Surf outlook
For the weekend and week ahead, smallish initially but look for waves at the right tides, right places and you might get lucky. Have Fun, irrespective and Keep Smiling 🙂 >>>
Friday around 1 metre or so from East North East
Saturday: around 1 metre or less from dead South.. ie little waves at places open to the south as most swell will go straight past the surf zones
Sunday: ditto pretty much
Monday: and again
Tuesday: coming up at dead south spots, say through the 1-2 metre range, 2, 2+ metres even but with the wind behind it to mess it up
Wednesday: easing back a little, say around 2 metres or so dead South, still with wind
Thursday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range dead South.
Stay well. Stay safe, in and out of the water.

Saturday: around the lower end of the 1-2 metre range South East
Sunday: dittoish North East/East
Monday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range East/ North East
Tuesday: 1-2, 2 ish metres South East

The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Posted on December 17th, 2020 in Goat's Forecast.The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Update Friday 18 December 2020
Forget the beach and the surf for the next three days as per State Government COVID Health Advice ..stay home. Watch surf movies, read surfing mags, books…you know, etc.
TG
Surf forecast issued Thursday 17 December 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
The hits just keep on comin’, don’t they eh?
Just when people thought they could finally start to relax, go places, have fun, enjoy the school hols, start to wind down for Chrissy, and even walk anywhere local without a mask on… some thing comes along to spoil their fun.
I’d like to be able to tell you how good or not good the surf was today, what the water felt like etc etc, but along with thousands of northern beaches residents, TG followed official Health Department advice, had a Covid test and then went straight home to self isolate till he gets the results!
Not to grab a coffee, get a bite to eat, have a surf or a swim on a hot day!! To say he was irritated would be to understate what he was thinking… free of Covid all through this year, and it’s now right here in our backyard!
But the inconvenience and cost caused to so many people standing in line for hours to get tested, cancelling their plans for coming days and nights, although major, is minor in comparison to potential alternative scenarios.
The community spirit, goodwill and friendliness evident among those in the lines was uplifting. Thanks to all those doing the right thing! The only way to get on top of this is to follow the official health advice for the northern beaches – see latest below, and check for updates as new venues and times get added. Check venues for closures.
https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/latest-news-and-updates
Surf outlook
As far as the Surf goes, TG can say he glanced from the car on his way home and saw a big crowd of people in the water enjoying – he thinks – some reasonable – he thinks – waves~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He can say that the surf outlook is looking pretty good – for those not in self isolation ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Friday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range North East
Saturday: ditto
Sunday: easing back a little, lower end of the 1-2 metre range from the East
Monday: ditto
Tuesday: coming up, 1-2 metres, 2-3 metres Eastish
Wednesday: backing off a little, 1-2 metre range, 2 + metres Eastish

The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Posted on December 10th, 2020 in Goat's Forecast.The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 10 December 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
As TG sits contemplating his ever increasing navel, there are dark clouds scudding across the sky driven by a gusty gutsy South wind that has brought a hitherto lovely day to a crunch. And I think he fears it might be more of the same for a few days.
The wind will bring up the surf from one direction then another, depending on what a Low expected to develop up north does after the weekend. But this is what the surf outlook currently looks like being:
Friday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range at places open to dead South swell, with wind behind it
Saturday: ditto South/South East, ditto
Sunday: ditto South East, and then East with the onshore wind behind it
Monday: ditto North East, depending what the Low up north does
Tuesday: let’s not get too excited yet so let’s say 2 ish metres North East, maybe more, ditto proviso
Wednesday: 2 ish 2 ish + metres North East, ditto proviso
Thursday: say around 2 ish metres, and you know ~~
BTW, For info and for your online entertainment and Christmas shopping needs, the silent auction to bid for a surf experience with TC… that’s TC, not TG!… or bid for a Slater Design / Firewire/ Hydroshort/ Tomo board, or a framed jersey of surfing champ Stephanie Gilmore, and heaps more stuff that you might be interested in, finishes this Sunday… so you might want to get in quick.
More details at the end of the forecast, as it finishes on Sunday. Did I say that already?

The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Posted on December 3rd, 2020 in Goat's Forecast.The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 3 December 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
The surf outlook is .. hmm how to put it.. Disappointing… If you’e easily disappointed.
Others will see a little Adventure Trek Challenge ahead… Searching to find a wave!
Lots of wind direction changes, and windy as well!
Warmish to average temps.
And lots of Small Waves with direction changes as a result of the windy wind changes not giving the ocean much of a chance to get a head of steam in one direction or other.
But, all week there should be little waves… at the right tide, at the right place… for the right gear…
You’ll just have to have a sense of adventure and seek them out, using the following Intel gleaned from TG’s guts>>>>
Friday: about 1 metre or so ish at dead South places only
Saturday: Ditto
Sunday: about 1 metre or so ish Eastish
Monday: about 1 metre or so ish North East
Tuesday: about 1 metre or so ish at dead South places only
Wednesday: Ditto
Thursday: And down joost a little bit more.
Stay Positive… But NOT in a Covid way! It ain’t gone away in the world.
And remember, even small surf can produce rips that inexperienced swimmers can drown in.. so help out whenever you can…
If you’re inexperienced, swim where the red and yellow flags are… If there are no flags…no swim.

Surf forecast issued Friday 27 November 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney
You’re going to want to get wet this weekend cause it’ll be warm.
Will there be waves, you ask. Yes small to medium. But it could be crowded.
Outlook is for Noreast windwaves followed by waves from the South. Looks like it’ll be windy to boot. Stay alert for opportunities.
Saturday: 1 – 1.5 metres Noreast
Sunday: ditto
Monday: coming up from dead South at places open to that, say 1-2 metre range, then easing later
Tuesday:1-1.5 metres South East
Wednesday: up again with the wind behind it, say 2ish metres dead South places only
Thursday: 1-1.5 metres dead South.
And check here to bid for a surf experience session with Tommy Carroll.. tell him TG sent you.. taught him all he knows 🙂

Posted on November 19th, 2020 in Goat's Forecast.The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 19 November 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
Another quick one from TBG (The Bionic Goat), cause he’s tired, worn out, needs a rest, and he says there’s not much to get too excited about anyway…
But who doesn’t like variety in their weather conditions, wind directions, wave directions, and general lives, hey??
Surf outlook is for mostly small to medium conditions for the weekend and week ahead.
But for those who want to get wet there should be waves from time to time, if you’ve got the right gear, and the right attitude. You might just have to look for them.
Friday: around 1-1+ metres of Noreast windswell
Saturday: leftovers from the above and chopped and whipped into submission by S/SE winds
Sunday: 1 metre or less at places open to dead South… lesser elsewhere
Monday: Ditto but North Eastish
Tuesday: up a little into the low end of the 1-2 metre range South East
Wednesday: down a little and more East
Thursday: Dittoish
Keep your eyes peeled for Opportunities.
TBG says he’ll be good as new very soon, once the battery recharges.
