The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, checkin' in from the coast. Looks like we're in for a bit of a wait for anything decent at Alexandria Bay (Noosa). The next couple of weeks are mostly a write-off, with a whole lot of ordinary westerly wind but tiny swell. The first proper surfable window doesn't pop up until the morning of Monday the 12th of August, and even then it's just tiny.
Alright, let's break it down. The pattern for the first week is pretty grim. We've got a bit of a pulse from the SSE building late on the 14th, but the wind is straight out of the wrong quarter for the Bay, so it's a mess. The combined wave energy is moderate at best, hitting 229 (moderate energy) on the 15th, but the cross-onshore chop makes it unsurfable. The water is sitting at 68°, which is about 2° cooler than normal for this time of year – nothing to write home about, just a little fresh.
The real standout, and really the only one worth pointing a board at, is the morning of Wednesday the 14th of August. Now, this is a bit of a special one because it's the only time we see glassy conditions. The wind is dead calm, zero, nada. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the East with a short period of 9 seconds, but when it's glassy like that, even knee-high waves can be fun. The combined energy is weak (60), so you’ll be hunting for a push, but it'll be clean. If you're a logger or just want to float around, that's your window.
The rest of the run is a no-go. From the 15th through to the 25th, the swell gets bigger, but the wind is all over the shop – cross, cross-on, and onshore. The period is short, around 5 to 8 seconds, so it's not got any grunt. The energy ramps up to strong levels (468 on the 18th), but with the wind ruining it and the short period, you're better off staying home. The morning of Tuesday the 25th of August offers another brief glassy window with 2 ft east swell, but again, it's tiny and weak (81 energy). It's a long stretch of poor conditions, but that's the way it goes sometimes.
So in short, don't get your hopes up for the first two weeks. That Wednesday morning glass-off is the only real chance for a clean, if small, session. The rest is just a blown-out mess.
Rusty.
