The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 26 February 2026: Seven day outlook for Sydney
So far there’s been multiple weather changes today. If you were lucky enough to get wet in the small surf, 23 degree good visibilty water, when it was sunny with a lightly pleasant SW breeze to temper the rising air temp, as you strolled along the sand listening to the murmur of the waves and observing nature all around you… you’re probably still laughing ….
Otherwise~~~~
The weather outlook for the week ahead looks like more of the same – lots of weather variety, but not much change in surf conditions. Nevertheless, with breaks in the weather there could be times for fun water activities from time to time. If you don’t expect too much, you won’t be disappointed!
Surf Outlook
Friday: around 1-1+ metres maybe more in the 1-2 metre range South East, with unattactive showers, wind etc
Saturday: say around 1 – 1+ metres Eastish
Sunday: ditto
Monday: ditto
Tuesday: ditto
Wednesday: ditto
Thursday: possibly a little more from North East.
Stay safe and Have Fun!
