The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Friday 24 November 2023: Seven day outlook for Sydney
Having important social/family/community activities in the morning, it wasn’t till Low Tide O’Clock that TG considered looking at the ocean.
That was just out of curiousity, as a reliable mate had already told him:
you’re not missing out on much.
When he saw the ocean, he thought:
my goodness, he is so accurate.
To paint a picture for you, picture a grey scene, grey sky, grey ocean, with not many characters, and not much action.
It was almost peaceful. The mesmerising sound of approximately 1.217 metre waves breaking every 7.85 seconds on the shallow sandbank had a mesmerising effect on him.
For a brief moment he found himself in sync with Ferdie Magellan’s original thinking, and almost dozed off. He roused himself when a 1 metre high kid stood up on an overhead wave and fell off.
Didn’t matter.. he was having fun out there.
So, what’s the outlook look like.. out there>>>
There’s a spot of rain forecast::::
Surfwise… looks smallish mostly, with variety
Windwise.. the Bureau forecasts lots of variety
To help you try and remember, or forget…
Sing along to this little ditty as you ride to the beach, substituting the names, with directions…
eg Northerly for Monika, Westerly for Erika, Southerly for Rita, Easterly for Tina…
You get the picture…
And try and get that out of your head!
