The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Noosa - First Point over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first proper swell of the window is a big one, but it’s a double-edged sword. We’re looking at Sunday the 19th of July, and a solid 15 ft SE swell is rolling in, with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is massive at 4109, so there’s plenty of power. The wind is blowing strong offshore from the SSE, which sounds perfect, but honestly, that swell is just too big for this point break. It’s going to be a washing machine out there, even if it looks clean. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no wetsuit drama.

Sunday afternoon is much the same story – still a 13 ft SE swell, still strong offshore wind, but it’s a lot of water moving around. Not the day for a beginner, that’s for sure.

Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st see the swell slowly dropping, but it’s still sizeable. Monday morning has 13 ft from the ESE, and the wind goes cross-offshore. The wave energy is still high, but the conditions are getting cleaner. By Tuesday morning, we’re down to a much more manageable 8 ft, and the wind is a light cross-off. This is starting to look better, but the scores are still a bit average.

The real standout, the gem of this outlook, is Wednesday the 23rd of July. We’ve got a clean 4 ft swell from the E, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is glassy, a light WSW at 3 mph. The combined energy is a very modest 205, meaning it’s small and weak, but for a point break like Noosa, that’s perfect. It’s going to be clean, small, and ridable. This is the best on offer for the whole period. If you’re a beginner, this is your window. The crowds might be a factor here as it’s often busy, but for these conditions, it’ll be worth it.

After that, the swell drains away. Friday the 24th has a tiny 3 ft wave, but it’s clean. We get a few days of glassy, knee-high dribble through the 25th and 26th. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.

Then we get a weird little spike. On the 29th of July, there’s a long-period groundswell from the SE at 16 seconds, but the wave height is only 2 ft. The energy is 223, which is surprisingly high for that size. It’ll be glassy in the morning, but with that period, it’s going to be a long, slow, straight wall at the beach. For a point break like Noosa, it might actually be alright, but it’s a fickle one.

The rest of the stretch into early August is a flat spell. There’s nothing of consequence. We’re talking ankle-snappers at best. The energy numbers are all below 100, and the wind is all over the shop. The last day of the run, Monday the 3rd of August, has a 0.7 ft swell. That’s it.

So, to sum it up: the best bet by a country mile is Wednesday the 23rd of July. Small, clean, and glassy. The big swell on the 19th is a write-off for paddle surfing – that’s kite territory if you’re into that. After the 23rd, it’s a long, slow grind to flatness. Don’t hold your breath.

Stay salty,
Rusty
