The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Noosa.
It’s a slow start for the next few days. Small, short-period east-northeast swell is around, but the wind is messy – cross, cross-on, choppy. Honestly, you’re better off staying dry Monday through Wednesday. The water temp at Noosa - First Point is 68°, a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so a spring suit is worth it.
Thursday the 27th morning shapes up nicely with a 15 mph SSE offshore wind. The swell is tiny at 2ft, but the wind makes it look clean. Not a standout, just a fun longboard morning.
Now for the good stuff. Sunday the 30th sees a jump in swell to 6ft from the ESE, with a short 7-second period. The combined energy is strong, and the cross-off wind keeps it clean. A bit bumpy with that short period, but it’s the first real push we’ve had.
The real highlight is Tuesday the 1st through Wednesday the 2nd of September. Tuesday morning brings a solid 8ft east swell with a 15 mph SSE cross-off breeze. That’s a serious swell – over 8ft, so it’s expert territory. Tuesday afternoon drops to 7ft with lighter winds.
But the absolute winner is Wednesday the 2nd of September morning. Dead flat glass, zero wind from the NNW, with a clean 7ft east swell. First Point will be absolutely immaculate. The energy is very strong, but with waves that size, beginners should sit this one out. And you can bet the crowd will be thick.
Thursday the 3rd morning has a 5ft swell and glassy conditions early, but then it fades fast. The rest of the first week of September goes small and onshore, so get on it while it’s clean.
Bottom line: don’t bother until Sunday the 30th, keep an eye on Tuesday the 1st, and circle Wednesday the 2nd of September morning for the best session. Go get it while it’s glassy.
Rusty.
