The Lowdown
Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with ya – the next couple of weeks at Noosa are lookin’ pretty flat. It’s gonna be a long dry spell. There’s nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for until we get to Saturday, September 12th. Everything before that is just small, blown-out junk.
The water is a bit nippy, sittin’ around 68°F, which is a couple of degrees colder than normal. You’ll want a good rubber.
The one standout, and the only day I’d really circle, is the morning of Saturday, September 12th at Noosa - First Point. A clean, moderate offshore wind from the south will be blowin’, keeping the surface smooth as glass. Expect a chest-to-shoulder high southeast swell at 4ft with a decent 10-second period between sets. It’s packing a solid punch with a combined energy of 323 (moderate). It’ll get *sometimes* busy, but it’s worth it for the clean conditions.
The next morning, Sunday the 13th, is even cleaner with a lighter offshore breeze. The swell is a bit smaller at 3ft, but with a longer 11-second period, the waves will have a bit more shape and push. The energy is still moderate (221). It's a better option if you’re a beginner.
That’s your window. Once that passes, it’s back to small, onshore slop for the rest of the forecast. Make the most of that Saturday.
Rusty.
