The Lowdown
Alright, I've had a look at the data for Noosa's Alexandria Bay. Let's be real, it's mostly a waiting game for the next week or so.
The next few days are pretty grim. We've got a consistent onshore flow, mainly from the southeast, making a mess of things. Sunday the 13th through Monday the 14th is just lumpy, cross-onshore chop with weak, short-period waves. Not worth paddling out for.
Conditions start to clean up on the morning of Tuesday the 15th. We get a small, glassy 3ft wave from the east with a light easterly breeze. The energy is weak (48), and it’s pretty ordinary, but it’s a surfable window if you're desperate for a paddle.
Then it gets ugly again. Wednesday the 16th afternoon brings a messy 7ft southeast swell, but it’s hammered by a 25 mph southeasterly. That’s a kite-surfing breeze, not a surfing one. Thursday the 17th is even bigger, with a 7 to 8ft southeasterly swell, carrying a lot of energy (705), but the wind is howling 19 mph from the south and southeast. It’s lumpy, cross-choppy, and definitely expert-only at that size, if you can even make it out.
The real standout here, the one to circle on your calendar, is the morning of Saturday the 19th. The wind drops right off, going glassy with a light northeast breeze. We get a clean 5ft southeast groundswell with a nice long period of 12 seconds, giving it good energy (549). For a spot like Alexandria Bay, that combo of glassy conditions and a long-period swell from the south-southeast should set up some clean, lined-up waves. Crowds will likely be there, but for this, it's worth it.
After that, it drops back down. The second week looks small and windswept again, with a pulse of 7ft easterly swell around the 24th and 25th, but it’s cross-onshore and messy. Not a standout.
So, the best bet by far is the morning of Saturday the 19th. Get out there early.
