The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the Noosa area.

First up, the main event is a pulse of moderate east groundswell that shows up mid-week. We’ve got some good, clean windows if you time it right, but after that, it’s a long, slow drain. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is a degree colder than normal for this time of year – you’ll feel that chill on the paddle out.

The standout session is hands down Wednesday, August 19th, on the morning. Swell is a solid 6.9 ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is pumping at 979 (moderate). Wind is a gentle 9 mph cross-off from the SE, so the face will be clean. This is advanced-level stuff – that 6.9 ft size is too much for beginners, but for experienced surfers at Boiling Pot (point break), the lines will have some push. It’s inconsistent though, so you’ll be waiting for the sets, and with crowds often here, expect company.

Tuesday the 18th is a write-off. Rain showers, 12-19 mph cross-off winds, and a combined energy of 437-560 (moderate) but the quality is poor. Swell is 6.6-7.5 ft from the ESE with a short 7-8 second period – lumpy, raw, and not worth the paddle.

Thursday the 20th drops off quickly. Morning has 4.3 ft ESE swell, 8 seconds, and moderate energy (494). The wind stays cross-off, but the quality is marginal. By afternoon it’s down to 3.9 ft. Don’t bother.

Friday the 21st offers a brief flicker. Morning is 4.3 ft from the E with a 8-second period, light 6 mph cross-off wind, and clean. Combined energy is 227 (weak). It’s surfable, but nothing special. By afternoon the wind swings cross and it goes to crap.

Saturday the 22nd starts glassy with 0 mph wind from the NNE and a 3.6 ft E swell. The period is short at 7 seconds, energy weak (146). It’s clean but weak. Afternoon turns to chop with a 12 mph cross-on. Sunday the 23rd morning is another glassy window – 3.3 ft E swell, 8 seconds, calm wind. Small, clean, and weak.

Then from Sunday afternoon all the way through to the end of the forecast on September 2nd, it’s mostly poor to ordinary. A long stretch of flat, weak surf. The swell drops below 3.3 ft, periods stay short, and winds are mostly cross-on or onshore. A few clean moments on August 31st morning (2.6 ft, offshore wind) and September 2nd morning (2.3 ft, offshore wind), but the energy is tiny (94-106, weak). Not worth getting wet for anything more than a grovel board.

Bottom line: Wednesday August 19th morning is the only real call. Get it while it’s clean and punchy. After that, put the board away for a week or two.

Short Range Forecast

Heavy rain (total 30mm), heaviest during Tue night. Very mild (max 19°C on Wed morning, min 16°C on Wed night). Winds decreasing (fresh winds from the SE on Tue afternoon, light winds from the SE by Thu night).
