The Goat’s Surf Forecast

The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 13 August 2929: Seven day outlook for Sydney:

Some Happy News! for those who are working from home, working three or four day weeks, not working, retired, going to school, uni, tafe etc. >>>

Some lovely conditions coming up on some days… except when they’re not. That’s a lot of happy people! I’m thinkin’.

I said lovely conditions… not necessarily lovely waves.

You can’t always get what you want.

But there will be some nice little waves from time to time at the right tides and right places, for those who have the right attitudes 🙂

Friday: around 1ish metres at places that get dead South swell, but with an occasional fading little leftover pulse from time to time from the East South East

Saturday: around 1ish metres dead South, then coming up a little with the wind behind it

Sunday: coming up in the 1-2 metre range but only at Dead South friendly places

Monday: around 1- 1+ metres dead South

Tuesday: around 1-1+ metres Eastish

Wednesday: ditto

Thursday: dittoish

Take care in and out of the water. Have Fun!
