The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 16 December 2021: Seven day outlook for Sydney:
Getting excited about Christmas this year?
Well you won’t risk getting overexcited from the surf outlook…
Looks like being smallish, but.. that will suit some people, and there’s always the chance that there could be some fun waves from time to time.
At least the water is warmer and there are expected to be some warm days ahead, making it all feel more like Christmas weather should.
So what the heck… Get excited about that.. and being out in the fresh air and sunshine, and clean water when you can. Best place you can be.
Friday: somewhere in the lower end of the 1-2 metre range East South East
Saturday: ditto North East
Sunday: ditto ditto
Monday: and dittos again
Tuesday: around 1 metre or less Eastish
Wednesday: around 1 metre or so Eastish
Thursday: ditto
