The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at Noosa – Alexandria Bay.
Honestly, the next two and a half weeks look pretty flat and choppy. From the start on Sunday August 2nd through to Tuesday the 4th, there’s nothing but onshore slop and tiny waves – not worth getting wet. It’s a real dry spell.
Water temp is about 69°F – normal for the season.
### The Breakdown
Your best chance at a surf comes Wednesday the 5th in the morning. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and the waves are a small 3ft from the E with a 10-second period. The swell energy is moderate (167), so it’s not powerful, but the surface will be clean. It’s “surfable but very ordinary” – you can get a few rides on a grovel board if you’re keen.
After that, it’s back to messy, cross-onshore conditions through to the weekend and into the next week. Sunday the 9th morning has another glassy window with a 3ft E swell (9-second period, energy 133), but again, we’re talking small and weak. Monday the 10th morning offers a clean, cross-off breeze with a tiny 3ft E swell – same story.
The one true standout, if you can call it that, is Wednesday the 5th morning – the glassy conditions make it the cleanest session of the whole outlook. The swell direction (E) isn’t the optimum (S) for Alexandria Bay, so the waves won’t be perfect, but it’s the best on offer.
For the second week (from the 13th onward), it stays quiet. Clean winds on Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th mornings with 0.7m (2ft) E swell – period gets to 10 seconds, but energy stays weak (90-95). You’ll be fighting for scraps.
Overall, this is a flat spell. Don’t get your hopes up. The few glassy windows are the only real options, and even then, it’s small.
Rusty.
