The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the Noosa region over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it’s a bit of a slow start. The first few days through to the middle of next week are looking pretty ordinary. There’s small, weak energy in the water, with the combined swell energy hovering around the 100 to 155 mark, which is uninspiring. The swell is a short-period 7 to 8 seconds from the east, mostly around 3ft, and the winds are a bit messy. It’s not going to be a total flat spell, but there’s nothing to get excited about.
The first real standout appears on Thursday, 27th August. The morning session at Boiling Pot (Noosa) is shaping up nicely. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the ENE, and the wind is blowing straight offshore from the SSE at 12 mph. That’s clean, lined-up surf. The combined energy jumps to 280 (moderate) and the period is a workable 8 seconds. This is definitely the best bet of the first week. For the advanced crew only, given the size and the inconsistent nature of the break, but it’ll be worth it. The water temperature is sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, about 2° off the average.
After that, the surf dips back into the ordinary range, with small, weak pulses and cross-off winds. The end of August and start of September brings a new pulse. Monday, 31st August sees a bump in size to 6ft, but it’s a short-period 6 seconds from the SE, and the combined energy hits 294. The wind is cross-off, so it’s clean, but the short period and size will make it a bit of a handful – one for the experts only.
The real standout for the whole period, though, is Thursday, 3rd September. For the morning, the forecast is absolutely pristine. Glassy conditions with zero wind, a 4ft groundswell from the east with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 240 (moderate). That’s a proper point break wave. The swell direction is a perfect match for the optimum. This is the session to circle on the calendar. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but if it holds, it’s going to be magic.
After that, things get blown out again with strong onshore winds, so the window closes pretty quickly. There’s a gap of about 7 days from the start of the forecast until the first real quality day, and then another gap of several days before that Thursday morning gem.
Rusty.
