The Lowdown
Alright, mate, let's break down the next couple of weeks. It's a pretty grim outlook, to be honest.
We're in for a long stretch of nothing good. The swell energy is tiny, mostly under 100 (combined energy of all swells directed here), and when it does pick up a bit, the wind is just crap. We've got a solid run of "poor surf conditions" staring us down.
From Thursday the 27th right through to Wednesday the 2nd of September, you can pretty much leave the board in the shed. The wind is either cross or cross-onshore, the swell is small and short period, and it's all just messy. Even on the 30th of August, when the swell gets up to about 5ft, the wind is a fresh onshore making it lumpy and unrideable.
The only two flickers of hope in this whole 16-day window come in early September. Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September, looks like it could be a goer. The wind goes glassy, with a light NNW breeze, but the swell is only 2ft from the east with a 9-second period. The combined energy is a weak 43. It's surfable, but you'll be scratching for tiny, weak waves. Then Thursday morning, the 3rd of September, is similar – a clean offshore flow from the NW, but again, just 2ft of weak east swell (energy 46). These are the only two sessions that even register as "surfable," and they're still pretty ordinary.
So, if you're really keen to get wet, your best bet is Noosa - Alexandria Bay. The water is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, at 68°F. For the mornings of the 2nd and 3rd of September, you might find a clean, knee-high dribble. It's not going to be a barrel session, but it's the only thing that's not completely blown out. After that, it's back to tiny, choppy, and cross-shore winds for the rest of the second week. There's nothing here for the crew looking for a proper wave.
