The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 20 May 2021: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
Surf outlook
Today was mostly small, but there were some bigger ones breaking at particular places, because longish wave periods meant that pulsating rhythms, which had come a long way, were travelling through the water and built up a bit of powerful momentum, jacking up the wave heights as they encountered Oz~~~~~~~~~~ (or something like that).
The cool air did not deter the keen and those without feeling – a group which did not include me.
So the outlook:
Friday: say somewhere in the 1-2 metre range South East
Saturday: easing back, around 1 ish metres, or possibly more, at dead South spots
Sunday: say somewhere in the lower end of the 1-2 metre range Eastish
Monday: easing back, but let’s say Dittoish… Can you all say that?? All together:.. D
Tuesday: starting to come up into the 1-2 metre range East
Wednesday: then going down in the 1-2 metre range East
Thursday: let’s say Ditto… Di
Wasn’t that fun? … A surf forecast with audience participation.
Stay safe.. whales are starting to come up the coast, along with their camp followers.
