The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Noosa – Alexandria Bay are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of messy, wind-affected conditions ahead. There’s a solid block of poor surf from now right through to around the 14th of September, with onshore winds and lumpy, choppy seas. The only flicker of hope comes much later.
The first real highlight is on Tuesday the 15th of September. Tuesday morning it goes glassy – that’s a big deal here. We’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the east with a period of 6 seconds, but the wind is dead calm (‘glass’). The combined energy is weak (75), but for a morning session on a longboard, you’ll find clean little lines. Keep your expectations in check – it’s not going to be pumping, but it’ll be rideable and peaceful.
Then we hit a couple of rough days again. The next standout is down the track a bit, on Sunday the 20th of September. Sunday morning sees some cleaner conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW. The swell picks up to 6ft from the southeast, period of 7 seconds, combined energy moderate (318). It’s listed as marginal, but that offshore flow will tidy it up nicely for the more experienced crew. This is probably the best chance for a decent wave in the whole outlook – not a classic, but a solid option.
Keep in mind that Alexandria Bay is an exposed beach break, and with the swell direction coming from the SE to ESE for most of this period, it’s not matching the optimum south swell direction the spot really loves. That’s a big part of why it’s so ordinary.
Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report.
So, to sum it up: if you’re desperate, get out on the 15th morning for a glassy fumble on a small board. For a proper session, pencil in Sunday the 20th morning when the wind turns off it and there’s some real push.
Rusty.
