The Goat’s Surf Forecast
The Goat’s Surf Forecast Surf forecast issued Friday 5 July 2019: Seven day outlook for Sydney: The solid Easterly swell that’s been around all week was still pushing in at some places, although was getting somewhat smaller … The onshore wind of the last couple of days looks like continuing for a little while yet, […]
Onshore, showery morning for Sydney
Hello Friends, The radar was showing a few scattered showers about – which is kind of what you expect with a forecast calling for a 90% chance of percipitation. North Head wind at North Head as of 0640 was 12-15 kts from the ESE. The MHL buoy was seeing 2 metres of east swell with […]
Grey and junky onshore conditions today
Hello Friends, Well, looks pretty ordinary on the weather radar and cams this morning. According to the MHL data swell’s still around the 2 metre mark out at sea and coming from the E-ESE. But the average period is sub 10 seconds so you can expect messy and weak conditions which are made all the […]
Took the express to Mona Vale
Day 3 of our ENE swell and there were some nice waves to be had at the start of the day. Early offshore winds, despite a predicted southerly, resulted in some clean 3-4’ peaks. Your correspondent paddled out at Mona around 6.45am and sampled a few. Occasional outsized sets swept though the take off area […]
Getting scrappy in Sydney but still surfable
Hello Friends, Looks like you have waves again this morning along the beaches, but the 1.6 metre, 10 sec east swell is pretty lumpy and junky on the high tide (0830). You’re going to a high of 19 with 50% chance of the odd shower. Wind as of 0850 was light from the WSW, but […]
B1 oh B1 what did you see?
Day 2 of our ENE swell is …………a bit of a let down. Fading. Your reporter woke early and took a couple of pre-dawn shots of a well known local swell indicator. It is still good – but not the epic proportions hoped for. Did some more in the field research and can report that […]
Another fun surf day for Sydney
Hello Friends, So jealous. Sydney was pretty smooth and clean at first light with heaps of shoulder to head plus energy at the magnets. And it looks from the forecast as though there should be favourable winds until late afternoon. However, as the BoM call below reveals, the favourable wind conditions are set to disappear […]
Bus man tests the waters first…
Well it’s here. The much anticipated ENE swell has arrived and it lighting up the northern beaches sweet spots. Plenty of options to choose from today. It is a latish report today as your reporter had to do some on the field first hand research. At first light it was good but a little setty. […]
Get thee to an east spot
Hello Friends, Wish I was there this morning… light westerly breeze and a combo of SSE and NE swells sending in waves from the east that should be solidly head and a bit on the bombs. Ocean temp is still 19C too. Tide was high early and is dropping to a low around midday. Get […]
