The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Posted on October 29th, 2020 in Goat's Forecast.The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 29 October 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
Been a pretty ordinary week of weather and wave conditions most of the time. It even felt like it was winter again. But there were opportunities at times for the keen and fit enthusiasts…
The more sensitive souls with a few years of experience of such conditions behind them, chose not to play.
The outlook for the week ahead looks like more variable weather, winds and surf quality, but there will be waves of sorts.
Keen players should be ready to pounce on possibilities as they arise>>>
Friday: easing back from Thursday, in the 1-2 metre range East South East…
Saturday: …before kicking up a notch in the 1-2 metre range Eastish
Sunday: coming up more into the 2-3 metre range East North East, with southerly type winds later
Monday: easing back in the 1-2 metre range Eastish, with southerly winds
Tuesday: in the lower end of the 1-2 metre range East
Wednesday: ditto, with freshening NE winds
Thursday: ditto for the surf.
Keep smiling 🙂

The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Posted on October 22nd, 2020 in Goat's Forecast.The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 22 October 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
Lovely weather right now.
Waves have been smallish and wind affected this week, but I did see some people taking advantage of the right tides occasionally.
The outlook for the weekend and week ahead is for some rain and showers according to BoM, which might dampen the enthusiasm of some, and there will be wind as well. But if you’re keen, you’re going to get wet anyway…
Friday: around 1 metre or less North East
Saturday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range at Southern wind blown ends of beaches, smaller in NE sheltered corners
Sunday: coming up with Southerly wind say around 2 – 2+ metres at places that get dead South swell
Monday: similar but more South East and still with Southerly wind to mess it up
Tuesday: in the 1-2 metre range East South East
Wednesday: dittoish
Thursday: coming up say 2 metres East South East
Stay well and look out for each other.

The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Posted on October 15th, 2020 in Goat's Forecast.The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 15 October 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
Today the weather was beautiful, but the surf when I saw it was very windy and ordinary with few takers.
The surf outlook is for small to medium surf over the weekend and into next week, while the weather outlook according to the BoM is for lots of wind changes and a mixed bag of showers and partly cloudiness.
Which means there could be some OK waves at times, but quality will likely depend on the fickleness of the winds, so stay alert for your opportunities..
Friday: down a little from Thursday, say around 1- 1+ metres East then coming up a little with southerly winds, say in the 1-2 metre range at places open to the South
Saturday: down in the 1-2 metre range South East, then up a bit later in the 1-2 metre range South East
Sunday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range East North East, down at first, then up
Monday: around 1ish – 1+ metres East South East
Tuesday: around 1ish metres or less East South East
Wednesday: ditto South East
Thursday: ditto East, then starting to come up later.
Stay cool… Chillax… Be kind to others, in and out of the water.

Surf forecast issued Thursday 8 October 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
There were a few waves around today with the keen out there having a go. But the quality wasn’t enough to tempt many people away from going to work, or even entice the more experienced (read ‘older’) participants with more available leisure time into the chilly water.
Instead people coming to do a surf check chose to have a quick chat to their mates about all manner of topics de jour, with well informed and sensible objective commentary, but today we’ll just stick to the
Surf Outlook
Waves all week…. for you to pick and choose your days>>>
Friday: down from Thursday into the 1-2 metre range East

The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Posted on October 1st, 2020 in Goat's Forecast.The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 1 October 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
Hey hey looks like a long weekend coming up that will actually feel like a nice start to Summer, But… there’s always Buts… Sigh you say.. TG say C’est la vie, and he knows how to butt heads with the best of ’em.
First But… you might want to take advantage of the nice weekend weather, because it’ll change again after that..
Second But… you may feel like you want to dive in the ocean on one of the warm days, but if you haven’t been in before this and you don’t want an ice cream headache/heart attack etc because of the difference between the air and water temps, you might want to hold off a bit longer yet.
Heey you’ve all been so patient this year, you know how to handle it…
In fact TG has decided to name 2020 The Year of everyone being patient… (better than being the year of being a patient!).. or, The Year of Patience for short… and you know that patience is a virtue… (too much??)
Third But…the surf is also heading into a Summer surf situation, with Nor East winds predominating (that’s a big word) on some days
Fourth But.. you’ll have a good time anyway 🙂
Surf outlook
Friday: going down from today through the 1-2 metre range at dead South spots
Saturday: around 1 metre or less North East at first then increasing in size with the wind behind it during the day
Sunday: around 1 metre or less North East at first, then around 1 ish or so metres East North East
Monday: around 1 ish metres East North East
Tuesday: around 1 ish metres Eastish direction
Wednesday: coming up in the 1-2 metre range East (But, of course, with onshore wind)
Thursday: ditto with the surf, maybe up a bit later.
Have a good one. Stay safe and Enjoy yourself in and out of the water, and don’t get a surprise when you look at the time on Monday morning if you went to bed late.

The Goat’s Surf Forecast and More
Posted on September 24th, 2020 in Goat's Forecast.The Goat’s Surf Forecast and More
Surf forecast issued Thursday 24 September 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
Surf outlook
We’ve had a lot of westerly winds lately….pretty much unrelenting..
And the short term outlook is…
Yes.. pretty much more of the same for the next coupla days, but then there might be a little surf when the westerlies ease off.
Some lines were starting to show at places open to the South, today.
Friday: might be a little something, say around 1ish metres at the right tide, at places open to dead South… and not much elsewhere
Saturday: not expecting much at first, maybe 1ish at dead South spots later
Sunday: starting to come up gradually in the 1-2 metre range at dead South places with wind behind it
Monday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range at dead South places
Tuesday: ditto
Wednesday: ditto South East
Thursday: ditto more Eastish.
But wait, there’s more
This weekend is the start of the school holidays, and the start of the “swimming season”.. ie the flags go up to show the safe areas to swim.
With people’s thoughts turning more to the beach, and with families and others taking holidays, there’ll be plenty of opportunities to spread the virus (you know the one) around Sydney, the rest of the State and elsewhere… unless people follow the official health advice… Which of course you already know, unless you’re a Complete Boofhead.
Sick of hearing about it? Hey… Guess what!!!! We’re doing great here right now, but the point is, it only takes one person. You’ve got the examples of Europe and the US and Victoria, of what can happen when people relax their guard a little too much. It hasn’t gone away, and there’s no excuse for ignorance at the beach or elsewhere. There’s this thing called the internet… You’re on it right now!
To help us all stay safe over Summer, local governments have calculated in advance, the maximum Covid safe beach crowds for individual Sydney beaches… you know, for them to decide if a beach needs to be closed for public health reasons.
Northern Beaches Council info, with crowd numbers they’ve calculated for individual beaches, is here…
https://www.northernbeaches.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/general-information/summer-action-plan-outdoor-public-spaces
Go to “Helpful Documents” (could be even more helpful if it were easier to find!)
Surf lifesavers will not be enforcing public health regulations.
That will be the job Council Rangers and the Police if necessary.
But hey, let’s not make any of it necessary…
TG’s Simple Tips for everyone this summer
- If you’re driving to the beach and you’re in a line of traffic… then turn around and go somewhere else!
- If you get to the beach and it looks crowded… then go somewhere else!
- Relax.. Stay Safe… and Have Fun!!

The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Posted on September 17th, 2020 in Goat's Forecast.The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 17 September 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
There’s a Sydney Southerly Buster for you…
3pm 32 degrees and low humidity 28% light N wind,
5pm 18 degrees and 78% and strong S wind.
If you were lucky enough to get to the beach today… and were at the right place at the right tide, there were some nice cruisey waves around.
There are so many factors and variables to consider, it’s a wonder that those who pick it aren’t all rocket scientists!
So will all that wind that’s blowing around outside now do some good??? you ask.
For all its huffing and puffing, the general answer is:
Not really.
If you don’t set your expectations too high, you shouldn’t be disappointed, and
who knows, you might even be pleasantly surprised after a few days.. at the right tide.. and right places>>>
Friday: in the low end of the 1-2 metre range at places open to dead South… nothing much elsewhere
Saturday: ditto, a bit more South East
Sunday: ditto and North East
Monday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range North East
Tuesday: down a bit in the 1-2 metre range North East
Wednesday: around 1 metre or less North East
Thursday: Ditto
Have fun.

The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Posted on September 10th, 2020 in Goat's Forecast.The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 10 September 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
Sigh.. the trouble I have to go to…
I told TG it was time to do the forecast and he just whinged>>>
“It’s too cold… Don’t feel like it…. Who’d be surfing now anyway? It feels like Winter has returned!”
He just rolled over..
I told him he had to, because people were relying on him.
He then challenged me to name names… So I did. Three or four at least, but he can’t count.
He started to whine again… he’s so immature.
So I asked, would he like me to take him back to where I found him?? >>>
>>>Floating in the surf after an overflow malfunction at the Warriewood sewerage treatment plant???!>>>
That woke him up … Nothing like incentivisation.
I gotta admit, current conditions and the outlook ahead don’t look very appealing to me either, with 17 degree water, various onshore winds to chop the surf and chill the air temp, and smallish surf~~~~ But, for the keen ones ~~~~~~~
Friday: low end of the 1-2 metre range East South East
Saturday: ditto East
Sunday: ditto North East
Monday: 1 metre or less East
Tuesday: low end of the 1-2 metre range South/South East
Wednesday: ditto South
Thursday: ditto ditto, repeato
If you’ve gotta go in just to get wet, best not do it at dawn or dusk, or when the water’s windchopped to confuse the sea creatures.
Surf with a mate and keep your eyes open… The whales have started coming back down the coast up north, and their PITB camp followers won’t be far behind.

Surf forecast issued Thursday 3 September 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
Time flies when you’re having fun! and here it is September already.
Surf?? No, not really much happening over the next few days, unless you’re lucky enough to get a small mal wave at the right tides.
But by now you’re ready to roll with the punches, take it as it comes, be flexible, and know that it is what it is… And the water’s cold! Good on you!
Friday: around 1ish metres from North East, with rideable waves dependent on the tide
Saturday: 1ish metres or less North East
Sunday: around 1ish metres North East
Monday: 1 metre or less Eastish
Tuesday: dittoish.. no point trying to be precise in these conditions
Wednesday: leftover small North East windswell at first before it might start coming up into the 1-2 metre range at dead South places, to be blown out by the wind behind it…yayy
Thursday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range , maybe 2 metres at places that like dead South swell, with S wind.
TG had some hayfever but did what the health authorities say and got tested, just to be sure, to be sure. All good…
Getting tested if you’re not sure, is all the go! It’s free. Don’t miss out!!
And wear a mask in crowded places… It’s not hard and it’s not rocket science.
Stay well. Stay Safe. Just keep smiling. At least the weather looks nice for some days.
We haven’t had a musical surf forecast for a while… so thump along with this!!!
Guaranteed to make you feel good 🙂
