The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 21 January 2021: Seven day outlook for Sydney:

Surf Outlook

Over the last coupla days, all TG could see was white water and onshores… and more whitewater and onshores… so like most people, he did other things.

Looks like conditions should slowly ease back to more Human and Goat friendly conditions over the next coupla days, but small to medium waves should hang around – in various wind conditions > with changes in wave direction ~ over the coming week.

So there should be plenty of options for your water based exercise and physical and mental excitations.

TG doesn’t know what that word means, but he heard it in a Beach Boys song some time ago so he thinks it must have something to do with the surf.

Friday: Easing back somewhat from Thursday arvo, but still in the upper end of the 1-2 metre range, going down slightly thru the day, and still with some oomph behind it

Saturday: 1 – 1+ metres East/ North East

Sunday: coming up a little in the 1-2 metre range North East

Monday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range North East

Tuesday: ditto for Australia Day

Wednesday: ditto East North East

Thursday: ditto East

Happy Straya Day on Chewsday >>> Have a good one everyone!!

Stay Safe in and out of the water.
