Table - best surf conditions forecast for Noosa - Alexandria Bay over the next 16 days.
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down what’s coming for our stretch of coast. The next week or so is a bit of a mixed bag with some clean windows if you’re patient, but plenty of lumpy, blown-out days to dodge.
For the first few days, the energy is moderate but messy. Friday morning (10 July) sees a 6ft southeast swell with a 10-second period, but it’s wrapped in a cross-shore wind and a cross-chop. The water’s sitting at 69°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. The combined energy is strong (1249), but the conditions are marginal—more of a grind than a treat. Friday afternoon drops off quickly, and by Saturday (11 July) the swell backs off to 4ft, still cross-shore, and really only a session for the keen.
We’ve got a proper gap of poor to ordinary surf from Saturday afternoon right through to the middle of the following week. The swell bottoms out, with tiny 1ft to 2ft waves and mostly onshore or glassy flat spells. The combined energy dips into the weak range (38 to 60). It’s not looking worth wetting a wetsuit for.
Now, the first real standout arrives on the morning of Monday 21 July. Noosa – Alexandria Bay comes alive with a clean 4ft swell from the ESE, 9-second period, and a light cross-off breeze from the WNW. The wind’s gentle, the water’s clean, and the combined energy is moderate (220). It’s a surfable, fun-sized swell with nice shape and no crowds issues—just a classic morning session. The afternoon holds up similarly with a 10-second period and clean conditions.
Tuesday 22 July morning is also a solid option: 4ft from the ESE, 10 seconds, and a light cross-off from the NNW. The wind’s light, the waves are tidy, and the energy is moderate (246). For a Tuesday morning, this is where you wanna be. It’s not a big swell, but the quality is there.
After that, the swell drops away again into tiny, ordinary waves for the rest of the week. Thursday 23 July and Friday 24 July offer glassy, clean conditions but with only 1ft to 2ft of swell—perfect for a longboard if you’re desperate, but not much else.
So, the best bets are the morning of Monday 21 July and Tuesday 22 July at Noosa – Alexandria Bay. Clean, light winds, waist-to-chest-high waves, and no crowds. If you’re after a proper session, those are your windows.
