The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks for Noosa – Alexandria Bay.
Right off the bat, the water temp is about 69°F, which is pretty normal for the season, so no surprises there.
We’re starting with a flat spell. Wednesday morning has a tiny 1ft swell from the SE with a 6-second period. The wind is glassy, but the energy is just a pathetic 15. Not worth paddling out for.
The whole first week is a total washout. Winds are either cross, cross-on, or just plain messy, with swell heights bouncing from 1ft to 6ft, but the periods are short, mostly 5 to 7 seconds. The combined energy gets up to 405 on Sunday the 2nd of August, but that’s all wind-affected chop. Even the rain showers on Friday the 31st of July won’t help—just a lumpy mess.
Tuesday the 4th of August gives a little glimmer. Morning has a 3ft swell from the east with a 7-second period, and the wind goes cross-offshore from the SSW at just 3 mph. The water will be clean, but the swell is still weak (152). It’s surfable, but nothing special.
The real standout, the one you need to mark on your calendar, is Thursday the 13th of August. The morning session is the pick. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the SE, but the period jumps to 10 seconds, giving it some real power. The combined energy is a solid 358, and the wind is cross-offshore from the NNW at 6 mph, keeping it clean. This is a proper groundswell, and it’ll be running nicely. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might have a few people out, but it’s well worth the early alarm. The afternoon gets blown out, so go early.
After that, it’s back to small, weak, onshore slop for the second week. Nothing to get excited about.
So, the first week is a dud. Get your gear sorted, and wait for Thursday the 13th of August. That morning at Alexandria Bay is your best shot.
Rusty.
