The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Lookin’ at the next sixteen days for Noosa – First Point, and honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch for the most part. The water temp’s sittin’ about average for the time of year at 69°, so nothin’ wild there.
We kick off Friday the 7th of August with a tiny 3 ft swell from the ENE, but the wind is cross and it’s just poor surf. Nothin’ to get excited about. Saturday the 8th is a bit better—morning brings a clean 3 ft ENE swell with a light offshore SSE wind, but it’s still pretty ordinary. The afternoon fades. Sunday the 9th is the best of the first week. The morning glass-off with a 3 ft easterly swell and 9-second period is the pick, with combined energy around 199 (moderate). It’s clean, the wind is dead flat, and it’s a long A-frame point break. The water’s a touch cold but fine. Crowds are likely at First Point—it’s always a popular spot.
Monday the 10th through to the 17th is a real flat spell—tiny waves, mostly under 2 ft, with a mix of onshore and cross-off winds. There’s a gap of about eight days where the surf is really nothing to write home about. A few mornings have clean offshore breezes, but the swell’s just too small to push much.
Now, the standout in the whole window is Tuesday the 18th of August. We get a solid bump of 6 ft SE swell, period around 7 seconds, and a strong, fresh SSE offshore wind all day. The combined energy jumps to 304 (strong wave energy), and that’s the biggest push of the forecast. The wave quality is marginal due to the short period, but it’s clean and head-high plus. That’s the one for the more experienced crew—over 5 ft, so it’s a bit much for beginners. The offshore wind will keep it lined up, but the short period means it might be a bit walled-up at the point. Wednesday the 19th holds similar size (5 ft to 6 ft) but with a cross-off wind, still rideable but not as clean. After that, it drops back into the small stuff by the 21st and 22nd.
Bottom line: if you’re keen, Sunday the 9th morning is your clean, fun, small wave session. The real punch comes on the 18th for the bigger wave hunters, but it’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it. Otherwise, it’s a long, slow stretch.
Rusty.
