The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Thursday 7 November 2024: Seven day outlook for Sydney

Despite all that huffing and puffing from the Southerly that came thru this arvo, Lake Pacific is looking very placid right now.

Are we gunna get surf??  Well, yes of course, but probably not this week. Maybe we could take a Poll on it? 🙂

Lots of changes in the wind ahead, so not much chance of developing a head of steam on the wave front as its presented to us in the near future.  Predictions sometimes turn out wrong… Some people like in your face big surf..You probably won’t see that … Some people like small surf.. You’re more likely to see that.

Like most things in life there’ll probably be some good times and some bad times. The main thing is not to lose your head or anticipate too much and either get overexicted, or despair. Take a wake up dive in the refreshing ocean, think about your options looking forward, think positive, see what comes our way, and try and focus on the good waves as and when you see them~~~~

Friday: probably less than 1 metre

Saturday: might be around 1 metre at places opren to dead South

Sunday: ditto Eastish

Monday: ditto ditto

Tuesday: ditto ditto

Wednesday: ditto ditto

Thursday: ditto ditto

And Keep Smiling!
