The Goat’s Surf Forecast
The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 27 October 2022
Seven day outlook for Sydney:
What a corker of an afternoon today – Thursday. You’d say it was Autumn if it wasn’t Spring. (!?)
Lines of small pretty-to-look at swell coming in from aways out from time to time, with a fresh offshore wind in its face. Gave the youngsters and others something to play with.
Westerly type winds (W NW etc) are forecast by the Bureau to continue on and off for a little while, so the surf will be small, but clean on the surface..
The westerlies might also help clean up water quality under the surface from rainwater runoff.
While they will bring up some swell from down South after a bit, most of that looks like being SSW and heading out into the Tasman.
So TG’s best estimates:
Friday: around 1 ish metres Eastish
Saturday: ditto and smaller Due South
Sunday: ditto
Monday: around 1 sh metres or so North East
Tuesday: similar or could be up slightly North East
Wednesday: smaller than 1 metre or flat
Thursday: up a bit 1 – 1+ metres Due South
Have a good one and enjoy yourself.
