The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 11 March 2021: Seven day outlook for Sydney
How d’ya like your La Nina summer so far??
(Yeah yeah … I know it’s not technically summer now, pedants)
Interesting huh? for those who’ve never experienced one before.
A mate in a regional bushfire prone area said: I like this better than the summer we had last year!
And there’s more to come 🙂
Don’t worry… It’s all part of Life’s grand pageant.
Surf outloof for the weekend and coming week
Friday: small to medium NE windswell, say around 1 – 1+ metre or so… better at southern neds than northern ends
Saturday: maybe a little bigger say 1 + metres North East, ditto
Sunday: a southerly change is expected, so coming up from the south wild and wooly, into the 1-2 metre range at places open to dead South swell
Monday: easing back lower end of the 1-2 metre rnage dead South spots, with S wind
Tuesday: around 1 metre or so at dead South spots, with wind
Wednesday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range dead South, ditto again
Thursday: easing back a little, with more Easterly direction.
Hope you can get something worthwhile in all that. Have Fun anyway!
