The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Noosa – Alexandria Bay. To be honest, it’s a pretty grim run for the next couple of weeks. There’s a lot of days where the wind is just messy, cross-onshore, or the swell is too small or junked up. Don’t get too excited just yet.
The first solid surfable window pops up on Wednesday morning, the 5th of August. We’ve got a clean 3ft easterly swell with a 10-second period and a light offshore wind from the WSW. That’s about as good as it gets here for a while – the water temp is sitting at a normal 69° for the time of year, so no drama there. The combined energy is moderate (164). After that, it’s a long, painful gap. Thursday and Friday are tiny and onshore, and the weekend brings a bit more size but with cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions. The 10th of August (Monday morning) is another brief flicker: 4ft east swell, 9 seconds, and a clean offshore from the WNW. The energy is moderate (199). It’s surfable, but not a stand-out.
Then we hit a massive dry spell. From the 11th through to the 18th, it’s mostly small, onshore, or just plain ugly. The wind is never really your friend. There’s a few mornings with clean conditions but tiny swell, and then we get a pulse of size around the 14th and 15th – 7ft to 7ft from the SE – but the wind is cross-onshore and the period is short (7-8 seconds). That’s going to be a messy, blown-out beach break, probably more fun for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The combined energy jumps to strong (963) on the 14th morning, but it’s wasted.
The only other moment that might get a local’s pulse going is Wednesday morning, the 19th of August. There’s a 7ft SE swell with a 9-second period, and a moderate cross-shore wind from the south. The energy is strong (581). It’s still on the big side for a beach break, but the cross-shore wind might clean it up a fraction. It’s a marginal call, honestly. The best of a bad bunch.
So, if you’re hanging for a wave, your best bet is that Wednesday morning (5th of August) with the offshore wind and clean 3ft swell. Everything else is a gamble or a washout. The forecast can change, but right now, it’s a bit of a waiting game.
