The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 23 March 2023: Seven day outlook for Sydney
The good news for the week ahead is that if you’re looking for ways to reduce cost of living pressures, you’ll be able to get free showers all week! just by standing in the fresh air (also free).
The bad news is that if the sky rumbles and you stay there doing that you could run up extra medical expenses from receiving a free electrical charge.
Showers and possible thunder storms are recurring words in the Bureau’s weather forecast. To keep your cost of living down, best not to undertake any outdoor adventures – especially in open spaces like the beach and the ocean, yes the ocean – when the sky rumbles.
Free advice from TG.
The surf outlook is not too fabulous, especially taking account of the Bureau’s wind forecasts.
Friday: somewhere around 1 – 1+ metres South East
Saturday: ditto but at places that are open to dead South
Sunday: maybe up a bit with the wind , into the 1-2 metre rnage at dead South places
Monday: easing back a little 1-1+ metres dead South
Tuesday: ditto
Wednesday: up a littlemaybe 1-2 metre range South East
