The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 13 January 2022: Seven day outlook for Sydney

Still some Jungley- cloudy- stormy- humid weather around, with cicadas and sunshine, and that looks like continuing. Water temp is very pleasant, so maybe that’s’ the best place to be. And it looks like there will be waves, possibly more than some people will want, so surf within your own abilities.

Friday: around the upper end of the 1`-2 metre range East North East

Saturday: starting to come up into the 2-3 metre range North East , with some oomph

Sunday: down a bit, 1-2 metre, 2+ metres East North East, with some power behind it

Monday: upper end of the 1-2 metre range, Eastish, with oomph

Tuesday: ditto ditto ditto

Wednesday: ditto ditto ditto

Thursday: starting to come up, around 2-2+ metres Eastish.

Have fun. Stay safe.

Interesting track forecast for ex TC Tiffany… She was a TC off Cape York, then decided not to cause havoc on the east coast, so went backwards to WA, and is forecast to track south east as a Low and spread her benevolence over Central Oz in the coming days – Rain on the Rock?? – What a girl.
