The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 16 July 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
It’s big, and wild and woolly, and big and cold and wet and windy too. Did I say it was big and out of control? Currently around 4 metres from South East with a hefty 12 second period.
And it’ll be bigger and etc and etc tomorrow too.
I didn’t see anyone out today. And I’d be surprised if I did tomorrow, but you never know.
Conditions are only suitable, if that’s the appropriate word, for very experienced, highly fit, crazy people.
Hey cheer up! You can still exercise away your frustrations… and doesn’t everyone have those at the moment, crazy or not… Exercise is good for you. You might get yourself fitter for when the surf is more human friendly.
Friday: around 4 – 5 metres East South East and as mentioned above
Saturday: easing back slightly to around 3 metres East South East with punch. Maybe cleaner looking lines to watch, but still ditto
Sunday: back a little more to around 2 metres East South East with some oomph
Monday: eased back early on, might be ok. But with a change in swell direction after the wind turns SW, starting to come up at places open to dead South, somewhere in the 1-2 metre range
Tuesday: coming up in the 1-2 metre range at places open to dead South
Wednesday:around 1 metre or so dead South
Thursday: around 1 metre dead South
Keep smiling. Be positive. Stay safe.
