The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 23 July 2020: Seven day outlook for Sydney:

Nice day today,,, and tomorrow, but after that…you might be looking for something else to do  mostly indoors.

A Low is expected to develop off the Far North Coast of NSW late Sunday, then move quickly down the NSW coast on Monday. So swell direction and size will depend on where it ends up, but it doesn’t look like it’ll be pleasant. As it looks at the moment>>>

Friday: around 1 metre ish South/ South East

Saturday: around 1 metre or so South/East

Sunday:  1 ish metre South East

Monday: coming up into the 2-3 metre range at this stage South East

Tuesday: 3 ish metres South/South East, could have oomph

Wednesday: around 2 -3 ish metres East, ditto

Thursday: somewhere in the 2-3 metre range East.

Stay safe, stay aware, don’t share anything around that you wouldn’t want shared with you, if it’s already been shared with you…Sharing ain’t cool just at the moment.  Have Fun!! Focus on what you can do.. not what you can’t.
