Noosa - Alexandria Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s look at what’s coming up for Noosa – Alexandria Bay.

Straight up, the next week and a half is a total dud. We’ve got a stretch of poor surf from Saturday the 4th of July all the way through to the morning of Sunday the 12th. That’s nine solid days with nothing worth getting wet for. Winds are ugly—mostly cross to cross-onshore—and the swell stays messy. Water temp is about 70°, which is normal for this time of year. Expect chop and lumpy conditions.

The first small window of something surfable comes Sunday morning the 12th. Clean conditions with a light cross-off breeze out of the northwest, but the swell is tiny at 2ft from the SE at 10 seconds. Combined energy is weak (100). You could surf it but you’ll be hunting for knee-high waves.

Monday the 13th morning is similar—2ft from the SE, clean cross-off wind, but energy drops even more (74). Not a standout.

From Tuesday the 14th right through the rest of that week into the 18th, the swell fades away entirely. Heights drop to 0.3ft to 2ft, energy readings fall into the single digits. It’s flat. Some mornings are clean, but there’s nothing to ride.

The one faint highlight in the second week lands on Sunday the 19th. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the south at a short 5 seconds. Wind is light and cross-off out of the SSW, so it’ll be clean. Energy is moderate (119). The afternoon pushes a little more: 5ft from the SE at 10 seconds, with light cross-on breeze, and energy jumps to 521. Still only marginal, and described as “surfable but very ordinary.” After so many flat days, you might grab a few if you’re keen, but it’s nothing to write home about. Crowds are possible at Alex Bay, so don’t expect solitude.

No real standouts in this 16-day window. Consistency is low and quality is missing. The Noosa area can hit these quiet spells. Forecasts can always shift, but for now, you’re better off parked on the sand.

Rusty.
