The Goat’s Surf Forecast

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday (May 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney:

The outlook is mostly small, but there could be nice little waves from time to time.

Friday: 1 metre or less North East

Saturday: could be coming up at places open to dead South but there’ll be a lot of SSW in it. Hard to say …The BoM says “Large and powerful surf…”… but I wouldn’t expect any to be getting into surf spots protected from the South like eg Manly… there might be something up the beach towards Queensie… let’s say in the 1-2, (2+ later) metre range… and let’s see 🙂

Sunday: back down in the 1-2 metre range at dead South places… going down through the day

Monday: around 1 metre or so South East

Tuesday: 1 metre or less East

Wednesday: up a little into the 1-2 metre range at Dead South places

Thursday:down to around 1 metre or so at dead South places

Have fun!
