The Goat’s First Surf Forecast for 2019:
22nd year of TG’s Forecasts:
Seven day outlook for Sydney:
Some variations in wind direction ahead for the coming week to give you a little variety, and hopefully some small to medium rideable waves.
But this arvo, (an Aussie word whose meaning is unknown to all those foreign visitors, so use it at will just to confuse ’em), a gentle onshore breeze, warm sun and background music of cicadas provided the perfect opportunity to kick back in the shade, chill out and recuperate from days of surfing or paddling, and nights of refreshments and socialising.
It’s been congested in the ocean – one more area to add to the list – but hey kids, I think I just heard mum say you should take a few days off out of the sun now.
I will give those thousands of visitors a helpful tip (as apparently they aren’t aware)…
Barrenjoey Road to Palm Beach is a Dead End Road. It’s not a Through Road… It’s a Cul de Sac.
And there’s nowhere for thousands of visitors to park… anywhere..
Just so you know why you’ve been stopped or crawling in traffic from Mona Vale.
