The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 21 Ugust 2025: Seven day outlook for Sydney
What <a few days that feel like a week> we’ve had, best spent not in the elements. (That was a typo in the heading, but TG thinks it says it all!)
Looking at the future outlook for the week ahead……… TG wondered: how do you summarise a bit of a mixed bag?..
Hmm Maybe say it’s a bit of a mixed bag…
The ocean is a mess and might take a coupla days to smarten itself up, but the weather looks like it should start improving, despite some possible showers from time to time
The surf:
Friday: maybe around 2ish metres of Choppiness from the Eastish
Saturday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range North Eastish
Sunday: similar from South East
Monday: easing back to around 1 ish metres Eastish
Tuesday: around 1 metre or so, more or less, South East
Wednesday: down 1 metre or less, North North East
Thursday: down some more
But after the recent weather we’ve had… you’d have to say.>>>
Enjoy.:)
