The Lowdown
Righto. The 16-day forecast for Noosa is a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a couple of windows that'll get the blood pumping.
The opening week is generally a struggle. We've got a couple of mornings with clean conditions, but the swell is tiny and weak, with combined wave energy barely registering at 59. That's an E/ESE windswell at a short 6 seconds, and the water temp's sitting at 69°, a degree cooler than usual for this time of year, so you'll want the wetsuit. The recommended spot, Noosa – Boiling Pot, is a classic point break, but it's inconsistent and needs a specific E/ENE direction to really fire, and that's just not happening for most of this period.
From Wednesday 17th, we finally see some energy. Thursday morning the 17th looks interesting. The swell bumps up to 7ft from the SSE, a moderate 8-second period with moderate offshore winds. It's clean, but the energy is moderate (695) and the conditions are still described as marginal. That's about the best of the first week, though the swell is getting a bit chunky for the average punter.
Things go quiet again through the weekend and into Monday. There's a notable gap with no real recommendations from Friday 18th right through to the end of Monday 28th. Then, the following week kicks off with a more promising pulse.
The standout period is from Saturday 26th September through Sunday 27th. The swell holds steady around 7ft from the E, with a period bumping up to 8 seconds. The combined wave energy jumps to 597 – solid moderate energy. Morning of the 26th has gentle offshore winds and clean conditions, which is a major positive. The downside? It's still rated as marginal, likely due to tide, but with that size and clean wind, the Boiling Pot could be a bit of a circus. Expect crowds, as this spot gets packed when it's on. By Sunday the 27th, we have 6-7ft E swell with light cross-shore breezes, still surfable.
After that, the forecast turns onshore and messy again from Monday 28th, with more E/NE swell but poor conditions. Overall, the best bet is to focus on the Saturday 26th morning session.
That's it from me. Keep your eye on the horizon.
