The Goat’s Surf Forecast

People have said for years – he doesn’t know what day it is – and they were right this week – I wasn’t sure if Thursday was Friday… and didn’t care… :)… now he doesn’t even know what year it is!  Didn’t think it looked quite right… but had an appointment with some Chinese (food)… Anyway…Last for 2011… First for 2012 ….  Ta, B 🙂

 

Surf forecast issued Friday 30 December 2010: Seven day outlook for Sydney:

Last forecast for 2010… First for 2011~~~~~~~~~~~~~ and the waves continue into the New Year, hopefully with an improvement in quality.  It looks like we might get a break from the Soueaster that has continued since the yachts headed off for Hobart, with light winds forecast, then a Noreaster for those favourite Summer locations.  Crowds have been too ridiculous at the few spots sort-of handling SE swell and SE wind!

Here’s a couple of Firsts….

First time in the Sydney Hobart for a yacht called The Goat (no relation) >>> +>>>

First time I’ve ever seen a goat on the beach – today – at my beach!.. very obedient little kid was on a leash, then wandered off to see what some people had to eat, but came when his owner whistled.  I guess the signs do say “No Dogs”… nothin’ about goats there…

Surf:

Saturday: in the 1-2 metre range East South East

Sunday: similar but down a little

Monday: around 1 metre or a bit more East South East

Tuesday: 1-2 metres East South East

Wednesday: 1-2 metres North East

Thursday: 1-2  metres East South East

Friday: 1-2 metres South/South East

Water temp’s around 22-23…quite pleasant

Have a Happy and Safe New Year!
