The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issued Thursday 14 March 2024: Seven day outlook for Sydney
Ah the variety of weather available to Mother Nature, means that she can do what she likes!
You humans can try to predict what she might do, using your fancy computer modelling stuff, but she’ll make up her own mind.
The Big Swell that every man, his sister and dog has been saying all week was on the way… has been CaNCELLED… at least in part.
Well maybe downsized (don’t you love that word, or not!) for some days.
Apart from the clouds and expected showers and winds that you might be able to see out the window, the Surf Outlook is now looking something like
Friday: a bit of size, say around 2-2+ metres East South East
Saturday: easing down into the 1-2 metre range SouthEast/South, with maybe occasional sets at places open to dead South
Sunday: easing back some more in the 1-2 metre range South South East, with possible occasional sets from due South at places open to due South
Monday: Easing back a bit more, but dittoish
Tuesday: Say 1-1+ metres East North East
Wednesday: up slightly North East
Thursday: let’s not push it, eh?
You can’t tell Mother Nature what to do and she might just change her mind anyway~~ So keep your eyes open (through the expected showers).
Variety is the spice of life.
