The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 9 October 2025: Seven day outlook for Sydney
Dull day today and windy with a cold wind. Even though it was mostly small especially around high tide, there were some nice looking waves at selected locations later, and no crowds.
Heaps of whales enjoying themselves – mums, dads, teenagers, young kids – headed back down south after their school holidays up north. They’re in close to the coast cruising on the current (say that last bit quickly four times).
Surf outlook for the coming week is not looking remarkably different, so you never know…there could be occasional surprise finds from time to time. Keep your fingers or whatever crossed..
Friday: around 1 metre or so give or take, more or less, from North East-
Saturday: Ditto
Sunday: Ditto
Monday: Diito but more East
Tuesday: Ditto South
Wednesday: Ditto East South East
Thursday: Ditto ditto.
Stay well. Have Fun!

Water temp
According to the MHL buoy water temp is 20-21 – 10 ks offshore – but it’s not that warm close inshore… It’s brisk at first but bearable (if it’s sunny).
