The Goat’s Surf Forecast
The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 27 April 2023: Seven day outlook for Sydney
Fab day weatherwise today (Thursday), even had some waves for those agile enough to catch ’em.
Water is clear and warm enough for a swim if you can find a safe spot.. lots of channels from the previous surf conditions have created strong rips for those unfamilar-with-the ocean.
No lifesavers/lifeguards around now so as a good citizen while you’re having fun, maybe you could keep an eye out for anyone who might need a hand, a bit of guidance including people learning to surf.
Surf outlook
There’ll be waves. TG says whether they’re any good will depend on the day, the wind, the tide, the banks, the swell direction, the location. He’s pretty useless.
Check it out
Friday: somewhere in the 1-2 metre range East (Light/N winds)
Saturday: ditto North East (N 15-20)
Sunday: coming up from a Low trying to form down south, say 1-2 then around 2 ish – 2 + South East (accompanied by various S type winds)
