The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 18 December 2025: Seven day outlook for Sydney
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… and Summer.
Chill out times ahead.
Summer temps > summer breezes > chopping/ changing/ increasing/ decreasing with the temperatures… Small fun waves to get wet in/on.
And the beach – Well it’s the best place to get wet!…catch up with old friends and new and be grateful to be able to share a few laughs. And that, without doubt is the best thing to do.
Water is clear and clean and nice.
Friday: around 1 metre or so from the North
Saturday: down a little
Sunday: same from South East
Monday: up a little around 1 metre or so from North East
Tuesday: ditto from the South
Wednesday: ditto ditto
Thursday: and ditto ditto.
TG is so economical, saving environmental waste on verbiage – as he is slowing down for the hols…(Some say he never started up! )
Enjoy.
TG.
