The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Saturday Surf Report Hey Don – Simon ran out of time to talk this morning on 702! First time that’s happened. Anyway everyone – here’s the Saturday surf report 🙂 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> It’s flat as a tack..barely a ripple. Some blue sky and occasional bright sunshine breaking through the clouds… couple of drops of water. Wind […]

Pretty morning but waves looking small to tiny

Hello Friends, Only about a metre of SSE swell at 7-10 sec showing on the buoy off Sydney. Light NNW breezes for the early and still dropping to the low tide around 0840. Knee to maybe waist at the magnets, but don’t expect much. I’d say a few rest days coming up and then maybe […]

The early riser scored

Up early and decided to do some before work in the field research at Avalon on the low tide. Rewarded with a nice south end peak with only a few out. Sat inside from the pack and scored some nice 2-3’ runners. Glorious morning (again)! Waves all day. More tide will help.

Go looking this morning

Hello Friends, Another beautiful winter morning for Sydney – and waves to boot. Swell’s gone pretty straight south, but it’s 1.2 metres at sea and close to 12 seconds apart. Wind was WNW 7-10 kts when I checked at 0840. Tide’s low as I write this and is back to high at about 1510. Water’s […]

B1 and Bcool

Left home early this morning around 6.30am and in the low dawn light took this grainy photo of Bungan. Classic mild winter’s day ahead. Observation: Noticeable change of swell direction around to the south. Weak looking waves on the low tide but should improve as the morning progresses. Maybe a day to try somewhere different […]

Should be a little something this morning…

Hello Friends, 10-15 kts if WSW as the day got started in Sydney. Swell’s about a metre at 10 seconds from the ESE. I’d say knee to waist at magnets. Tide’s low at around 0700 and will be back to high at 1310. Weather should be sunny with a high of 19 – same as […]

Back on the B1

Nice, still morning. A few long (smallish) lines around. At the right time and tide somewhere will be sweet. Just south of Newport ……. clean but shortish. More tide should help things along.

Wobbly and mostly small but not flat

Hello Friends, A grey day in coastal California and it looked to be a grey start in Sydney as well. Swell was around 1.2 metres from the E by ESE at about 11 seconds apart and wind was coming lightly from the WNW. Size is probably going to be on the marginal side, but good […]

Looking fun for the early

Hello Friends, Through the wonder of the Internet I can see that I’m really missing out this morning in Sydney. Conditions aren’t astoundingly good, but they do look fun with wave faces into the shoulder high range on a somewhat bumpy looking wind swell. It’s still coming from the east but has clicked down to […]

Lumpo bumpo but possible

Hello Friends, 6-8 kts of east wind helping the lumpy bumpy conditions stay that way in the late morning. Sunny conditions with two metres of 9-sec east swell continuing into its third day. Water is still 19 too. Tomorrow should be kinda similar but the swell’s expected to be fading back to a metre or […]
