The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Noosa’s Alexandria Bay.
Truth be told, the next couple of weeks are pretty quiet. There’s a bit of a gap before we see anything worth paddling out for. The first real chance comes on Thursday, the 23rd of July, with a morning session that’s got some potential.
Thursday 23rd July is the standout. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell rolling in from the East, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is glassy – dead calm – which is a rare treat. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is about normal for this time of year (anomaly of -0.9°). The combined wave energy is moderate (250). For Alexandria Bay, this is the pick of the lot. It’s not big, but it’ll be clean and fun for an intermediate crew. The break is exposed to the south swell, and the wind is offshore from the SSW, so expect some nice, lined-up waves.
After that, the surf drops off quickly. Friday the 24th through to the end of the month sees small, weak, and choppy conditions. The wind swings onshore or cross-shore, and the swell drops to below 3ft, with energy readings falling into the double digits (70 or less by Sunday). The 8th of August shows a small bump of 2ft from the SE with a long period of 14 seconds, but it’s still ordinary and the wind is onshore. Not worth getting excited about.
So, the one true standout is Thursday morning, the 23rd of July at Alexandria Bay. The glassy conditions make it a winner. The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off for paddle surfing. The setup looks more interesting for a kite session if the wind picks up, but for a surfboard, it’s a quiet spell.
Rusty.
