The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty grim run for the most part. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing special, with the first real glimmer of something surfable not showing up until Tuesday the 4th of August, and even then it’s tiny. The wind is messy for days, and the swell is weak and short-period. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
The first actual chance to get wet comes on Tuesday morning, August 4th. The morning glass-off at Noosa - Alexandria Bay is a beauty, with the wind going glassy. The swell is a tiny 3ft from the SSE, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is weak (103). It’s surfable, but you’ll be scratching for waves. It’s a consistent spot, so you might find a fun little one, but it’s not going to be anything to write home about. Crowds are sometimes an issue there, so with the small size, it might be worth a paddle for the dedicated few.
Wednesday morning, August 5th, is more of the same. Glassy conditions again, but the swell drops to 2ft from the SSE. Combined energy is a weak 50. It’s barely a ripple.
The outlook doesn’t really improve much until we get to Friday, August 14th. The morning of the 14th shows a bit of a pulse. The swell is 5ft from the north, but the period is a short 6 seconds. The wind is offshore from the WNW, which is clean. The combined energy is moderate (273). This is the best looking day in the whole window, but it’s a long way off. It’s a promising little window, but don’t bank on it just yet.
The rest of the period is a write-off. Tiny swells, onshore winds, and cross-offshore breezes that don’t deliver. There’s a big gap of nothing from the 5th all the way to the 14th. It’s a tough run, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.
Rusty.
