The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 31 October 2024: Seven day outlook for Sydney
Coupla days this week when there were not bad waves, despite the howling wind, for the young, fit and energetic (does not include TG).
This arvo sees small bumpy waves, made choppy by the cool onshore SE breeze.
Consequently, your impartially objective TG Indices of Surf Quality were
3:30pm
CEF Zero
CPI (trimmed for school pickups) Zero
SKI Zero – as you’d expect with diligent scholars
For comparison with 4pm
CEF Zero
CPI Zero
SKI Zero. TG doesn’t think they all rushed home to get into their Halloween costumes.
Two only (2) swimmers in flags, already regretting their choice.
The Surf Outlook for the week ahead is for smallish surf, but there should be enough water movement from time to time to catch a little one at the right tide, right place at places open the dead South
Friday: around 1 ish metre or so
Saturday: say around 1-1+ metres at dead Spots
Sunday: ditto North East
Monday: ditto North East
Tuesday: ditto South East
Wednesday: around 1 ish metres South East/North East
Thursday: dittoish North East
Now where’s my Pumpkin and four legged skeleton costume???
Oh …Im wearing it!
