The Goat’s Surf Forecast

Surf forecast issued Friday 5 July 2024: Seven day outlook for Sydney

TG said hey look at this.. then he lost what he was going to show me. I said what was it? He said I found a thing called Special Character, which is me, so I thought you know…

That’s what we’re down to in this weather…

Today conditions on the coast were pretty ordinary, with a fresh BCW (Bloody Cold Wind) blowing from the SE. Out to sea the buoy was registering 2 metre 9 second swell, but waves were a lot smaller than that on open beaches and on protected. Waves in the wind were blugghh and waves out of the wind were blugh.. banks are NG ( No Good) in sheltered corners. One, no two people, out for a paddle for exercise I think.

The Surf Outlook...

If you really want to know, and you’re super keen, there are Pros and Cons for you to consider…

Let’s start with the Cons>>

• See above..
• Size looks like being generally smaller
• Water temp is close to max air temps.. which some of us find to be BC (work it out)

Pros>>

• Smaller waves might suit kids on school holidays and others,
• Light winds are forecast for several days and even sunshine on one
• You’re going to be really looking forward to that hot shower while you’re sitting out there on the water, in the light breeze
• You’re going to really enjoy that hot shower afterwards.

Your decision….

Saturday: around 1- 1+ metres South East

Sunday: around 1-1+ metres at places open to due South and nothing much at places that aren’t

Monday: ditto

Tuesday: ditto again

Wednesday: smaller, from the East

Thursday: around 1 ish metres East North East

Friday: similar, from the East.

Have Fun!
