Table - best surf conditions forecast for Noosa - Alexandria Bay over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here with the outlook for Noosa – Alexandria Bay.
Right now, it’s looking pretty flat and ordinary. We’ve got a long dry spell ahead, so don’t bother paddling out just yet. The next week or so is a write-off for anything decent, with only tiny, messy slop on offer. There’s a big gap of weak, poor-quality surf that simply isn’t worth your time.
The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is just a shade cooler than average for this time of year – nothing too wild.
Now, if you can be patient, things start to turn around. The real action kicks off a week from Tuesday, on the 21st of July. That’s when we finally get a proper pulse of swell. Tuesday morning and afternoon are the standouts here. We’re looking at a clean, long-period groundswell out of the ESE at about 7ft, with a 12-second period. That’s a quality swell, packing a lot of energy. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SW, which will keep the faces clean. This is definitely one for experienced surfers, as 7ft is a solid size.
The good news carries into Wednesday the 22nd morning, with a cleaner 6ft ESE swell, also cross-offshore wind, and excellent conditions. The crowd factor at Alexandria Bay is something to keep in mind – it can get busy here, so get in early to beat the pack.
After that, it gets a bit mixed again, but keep an eye on Saturday the 25th morning. We’ve got glassy conditions with a 5ft SE swell. The period is a bit short at 9 seconds, so it won't have the same grunt as the 21st, but clean and glassy is always a treat.
Then, Sunday the 26th morning is another standout for the experienced crew. A clean 6ft SE swell, long 11-second period, and light cross-offshore winds from the NW. The energy is solid and the conditions will be prime.
So, to sum it up: sit out the first week, and your patience will be rewarded from the 21st onwards. The best on offer is Tuesday the 21st – that’s your session to lock in.
