The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 19 January 2023: Seven day outlook for Sydney
TG is not ready for this!! …he screamed at the elements in general and none in particular, as the chilly wind from the South hit him full force in the face, flattening his flaxen flowing mane…
F..f..f..forgoodness sake!.. It’s Summer! … I can’t handle 30 degrees one day, 15 (windchill) the next!… I don’t like it!… You can’t make me stand out here to check the temperature for you!… blah blah…
The door silently slid shut behind him, and his complaints were gone with the wind and horizontal rain>>>
Very few takers this morning, apart from two of TG’s own Kids having a surf together… “Isn’t this fun!? ” one reportedly said to the other as a cold rain squall hit.
According to the BoM the temp is expected to get back to normal pretty soon and we can resume normal duties for this time of year. In the meantime, suck it up, stick it out, and have Fun!
Surf outlook:
Friday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range at places open to dead South, easing back through the day (S swell bigger offshore)
Saturday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range South East
Sunday: lower end of the 1-2 metre range Eastish
Monday: increasing in size in accord with the wind expected from the East /North East
Tuesday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range from the North East
Wednesday: lower end of the 1-2 metre rnage East/North East
Thursday: ditto East South East.
Keep smiling.
