The Lowdown

Hey, Rusty here, checking the forecast for Noosa’s First Point. It’s a slow start, but there’s a real pulse coming if you’re willing to wait. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing to write home about.

Right now, we’re in a flat spell. Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th are dead – tiny, weak, and barely worth a look. The combined energy is a measly 38 and 24, so you’re better off doing something else. Thursday the 16th is where the lights flicker on. That morning, a solid 8ft swell from the SSE, with a period of 8 seconds, cranks the energy up to 865. It’s a fresh offshore wind, so the face will be clean, but that’s a fair bit of juice for a beginner spot. By Thursday afternoon, it’s 10ft with 1290 energy, and the wind is strong offshore – clean but a beast to paddle into. Friday the 17th stays in that 10ft range, and the wind is still fresh offshore. It’s a powerful, consistent push, but with that short period, it’s going to be a bit of a grunt. Saturday the 18th is similar, 10ft again, and the energy climbs to 1558 by the afternoon. Sunday the 19th is the big one – 13ft, 10-second period, and the energy is through the roof at 3219. That’s a serious groundswell, and the wind is strong offshore. For a point break like First Point, this is the standout. The long period (10 seconds) will give it shape and power, and the offshore wind will make it glassy. This is expert territory, though – 13ft is no joke. It’s the best on offer for the whole run, but you need to be on your game.

The following week, Monday the 20th through Wednesday the 22nd, the swell eases back to 7ft to 10ft, with moderate to fresh offshore winds. The energy drops into the 900-1100 range. It’s still surfable, but the magic is gone. Then, Thursday the 23rd, we get a nice little window. The swell is a more manageable 7ft from the east, with a longer 11-second period, and the wind is a gentle cross-off. The energy is 1037, and the forecast says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” That’s a real treat – clean, lined-up waves. Friday the 24th is similar, with 6ft and light cross-off winds, but the energy spikes to 1641 in the afternoon as the wind shifts. That’s a bit of a red flag for wind chop. After that, the last few days into the 29th fade out with 3ft to 6ft swell and glassy or light conditions, but nothing to get excited about.

So, the standout for the whole forecast is Sunday the 19th. That 13ft, 10-second groundswell with strong offshore winds is a proper session for the experienced crew. Don’t even think about it if you’re a beginner. The second best is Thursday the 23rd – 7ft, 11-second period, and light cross-off winds. That’s a much friendlier size for a good surfer, and the waves will have real quality. The first week is a giant no-go, but the second week shapes up nicely. As for crowds, First Point is often busy, so expect company, but when it’s that good, you don’t care.

Rusty.
