The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Noosa – Alexandria Bay over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a bit of a slow start. The first few days are looking pretty grim. Saturday the 8th is a write-off with tiny, weak swell and messy cross-shore winds. The combined energy is a paltry 14 and 92, so nothing is happening. Sunday the 9th shows a glimmer of hope, but it's a mixed bag. The morning is a real standout for this period though. We've got a glassy surface, a light 3ft swell from the east, and the combined energy bumps up to a moderate 156. That's the best we'll see for a while. The afternoon chops it all up again, so you'd want to be out there early.
The following week, from Monday the 10th through to the end of the 16-day window, is a real struggle. The swell sticks around the 2ft to 6ft range, but the wind is almost always on it from the southeast or south-southeast, making things choppy and lumpy. There's a sneaky good window on Monday the 10th with a clean cross-off breeze and 3ft swell, but combined energy is only 209, so it's marginal. The bigger stuff on the 17th and 18th, with swell hitting 6ft and combined energy up to 350, is accompanied by fresh onshore winds, making it a messy, lumpy mess. That's more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle surfing one.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day forecast is the glassy Sunday morning on the 9th of August. It's not a huge swell, but it's the cleanest, most surfable window we've got. Get on it early, because it doesn't last.
Rusty, signing off.
