The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Noosa - Alexandria Bay over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. For the first eight days, from Wednesday the 9th of September right through to Wednesday the 16th, the surf is just not cooperating. The winds are mostly cross-onshore and the wave energy is weak to moderate (81 to 296), with the swell bouncing around between 3ft and 10ft. The bigger stuff on Thursday the 10th gets up to 10ft from the SSE with a gusty 35 km/h cross-onshore breeze, but that’s just a messy, lumpy mess. Not worth paddling out for. That whole period is a write-off, honestly.
Now, we do get a little glimmer on Thursday the 17th of September. The morning sees a tiny 2ft swell from the SE, but the wind drops to absolutely glassy – zero wind. That’s a rare treat for Alexandria Bay. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The waves are small, period is short at 6 seconds, and the energy is weak (43), so it’s not going to be pumping, but you could get a few clean little rollers if you’re desperate. It’s surfable, but it’s far from a standout. For a break that’s usually consistent, this is a quiet spell.
After that, we’re back into the doldrums. From Friday the 18th right through to the end of the forecast on September 24th, everything is rating poorly. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the energy rarely cracks 100. The best you’ll see is a 4ft NNE windswell on the afternoon of Saturday the 19th, but onshore winds ruin it. Even the long-period groundswell that shows up on Monday the 21st (12 seconds from the SE) is barely a whisper at 0.3ft – a tease more than anything.
So here’s the bottom line: there’s no real standout session in this 16-day window. The only mentionable moment is that glassy Thursday morning the 17th, but it’s really just for the die-hards on a shortboard or a longboard looking for a cruisy paddle. For everyone else, it’s a pretty blank run. The good news is, Alexandria Bay is a consistent spot, so this kind of flat spell is just a waiting game – forecasts can turn around quick.
Keep your eyes peeled, but for now, don’t get your hopes up.
Rusty.
