The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Noosa's First Point over the next couple of weeks.
Alright mate, the pattern shaping up is a bit of a slow burner. We've got a pulse of energy coming through from Wednesday the 19th, but conditions are a little average with a cross-off breeze and moderate wave energy (514). The water's sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – you'll want a decent steamer for that dawn patrol.
The best of the early action looks to be Thursday the 20th. The swell holds around 5ft to 6ft from the E, with a gentle cross-off breeze keeping things clean. The energy is moderate (377 and 308), and it's the most consistent period we've got. It's not massive, but for a beginner-friendly point break, it's a solid call. Keep in mind, First Point gets crowded often, so get in early.
After that, things drop right off. From Friday the 21st all the way through to the end of the month, we're looking at a long run of very small, ordinary surf – heights dropping under 3ft, weak energy (most days under 100), and not much to write home about. There are a few glassy moments, like Saturday morning the 22nd with a glassy 4ft, but it's still small.
There is a little flicker of hope on Sunday the 30th of August. A new SE swell bumps up to 5ft in the morning with a moderate cross-off wind, and by the afternoon it's a cleaner 4ft with a gentle breeze. The energy climbs back into the moderate range (301 and 277). It's not a standout, but it's the best we've seen in a week. Monday the 31st has a clean, offshore 5ft but with a short period of just 6 seconds, so the waves will be a bit lumpy and won't have much push.
Looking into early September, the first week is mostly small and unappealing. A bit of a pulse on Thursday the 3rd of September with 5ft from the ESE, but with a short period (6 seconds) and a moderate breeze, the quality is likely to be poor.
So, the standout window is really that Thursday, 20th of August. It's the best combo of size, clean conditions, and consistency we've got. The long-range Sunday the 30th is worth a look, but it's less certain. For now, get on it this Thursday if you can.
Rusty.
