The Lowdown
Alright folks, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the Noosa region over the next couple of weeks.
Well, straight up, it's a pretty bleak start. We're looking at a whole lot of nothing for the first few days. The best of the early action is a bit of a tease, but nothing to get excited about. The real story is a standout window that pops up at the end of the month.
The first decent call is on Thursday, 27 August at Boiling Pot (Noosa). It's a point break, so it handles direction well. We've got a small 2ft easterly swell with a moderate offshore breeze from the SSE. The combined energy is moderate at 106, but the conditions are very ordinary. Friday 28th and Saturday 29th are similar – small, clean-ish, but nothing special with that easterly swell around 3ft - 3ft. Just limp, average waves.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. Sunday, 30 August is the only real standout in this whole run. The swell jumps up to 6ft from the SSE, but the period is a short, punchy 6 seconds. The wind is a clean offshore from the SSE though, and the combined energy is a solid 256. This is the best the forecast gets. Expect good surf conditions, but that 6ft is getting a bit hefty for the learners, and the short period will make it a bit walled-up. After that, it's a long, slow fade. From Monday 31st right through to the second week of September, the swell drops back to tiny 1ft - 3ft stuff with average wind. There's a brief moment of glassy conditions on the mornings of Wednesday 2nd and Friday 4th, but with a combined energy barely cracking 100, you're just bobbling around. The whole second week is a write-off for anything decent. Long story short, if you want a wave, Sunday 30th is your only real shot, and even then, it's a short-period, punchy affair.
Rusty.
