Table - best surf conditions forecast for Noosa - First Point over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's cast an eye over the next few weeks for Noosa.
Right now, the ocean is pretty quiet. We’ve got a small, weak easterly pulse sliding in at around 1ft with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is minimal at 36, and while the southerly wind is keeping things clean, it’s just not doing much. We’re looking at a stretch of quiet days to start. Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th are flat and ordinary. Sunday the 16th, things get a little more interesting, but it’s not exactly a green light. The swell bumps up to 7ft from the southeast with a short 7-second period, creating a lot of lumpy energy (469). That’s more of a washing machine than a surfable wave.
The Best Of It
The real standout arrives on the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. This is the one you want to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at a solid 7ft swell from the south-southeast, and the real kicker is the light, 9 mph offshore southerly wind. That'll groom the face of the waves beautifully. The combined energy is pumping at 485, and the conditions should be clean and punchy. This is a session for experienced surfers—it’ll be powerful and a bit of a handful at that size, so it’s not one for beginners.
Wrapping Up The Window
Leading into that, Monday the 24th of August shows a brief pulse of energy (769), with 6ft from the south-southeast, but the wind is cross-offshore and a bit fresh at 16 mph, which won't do this point break any favours. It’s worth a look, but not the highlight. The rest of the second week is mostly small, with only the odd glimmer of clean conditions on an inside day. The last day that holds some promise is the morning of Saturday the 29th. After that, the trend looks like it drops away again.
The water temperature is 68°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year—so don’t leave the wettie behind.
Keep your eyes on that Saturday the 29th. That’s our shot.
Rusty.
