The Goat’s Surf Forecast
Surf forecast issud Thursday 2 May 2024: Seven day outlook for Sydney
Look, there were reasonable looking waves at at couple of places this arvo, which had like about 50 after schoolers out at DY Beachbreak, but quite honestly unless your’e around that age with ridiculous energy to burn and immune systems that will shield you from outflows and flush! outs from Warriewood Treatment plant, the Hawkesbury River and innumerbale drains and previously stagnant lagoons, I wouldn’t be going in the ocean while we’re copping these on and off showers each day.
Of course its up to you. But you might consider going to the gym, do yoga, home exercises, swim in a non-beach pool, read a book, expand your mind until it explodes etc. Basically give the surf a miss for a bit.
Surf Outlook, if you must, is like this>>>
