Noosa - First Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking over the next couple of weeks at Noosa – First Point.

Right now, the surf is pretty flat and ordinary. We're in a bit of a lull to kick things off. The first real opportunity we see is on Tuesday the 15th of September. It's not going to be big, with some small 3ft easterly swell pushing in, but the wind is glassy in the morning. That's the key – clean conditions on that long, peeling point break. The swell energy is weak (59), but for a beginner-friendly wave like First Point, those glassy mornings are gold.

The pattern shifts mid-week. Wednesday the 16th stays small in the morning with clean offshore winds, but by the afternoon, a bigger pulse of 7ft south-east swell kicks in. The energy jumps up (329), but the wind swings cross-offshore and makes it a bit messy. Still, there's size.

Now, Thursday the 17th of September is where it gets interesting. We've got a solid 8ft south-east swell rolling in with a longer 8-second period and good energy (635). The morning has fresh offshore winds, which is about as good as it gets for First Point – clean, peeling lines. This is a standout, but at 8ft, it's pushing into more experienced territory, not one for beginners.

The swell sticks around for Friday the 18th, dropping to a more manageable 5ft with moderate energy (249) and cross-offshore winds. Good, clean fun.

After that, we hit another quiet spell from Saturday the 19th through to Monday the 21st. The swell drops right off, and the wind turns onshore. It's a classic lull, and there's not much to get excited about.

But hold onto your board, because Tuesday the 22nd of September is the real standout. A solid 8ft south-east swell hits with strong energy (779). The morning is clean with light cross-offshore winds. This is the biggest pulse of the forecast, and at First Point, that kind of size with clean conditions means proper, long, walled-up rides. This is one for the experienced crew – the wave will be powerful and well-shaped.

From there, the swell eases back through the end of September, with onshore winds creeping in. The 23rd and 24th see 6ft to 5ft of easterly swell, but the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppier. By the 28th and 29th, the energy is low, and the winds are fresh, but the swell direction is from the south-east with longer periods (10-11 seconds). There'll be some waves, but the quality won't be there with the wind.

So, bottom line: Tuesday the 22nd of September is your best bet – that 8ft south-east groundswell with clean morning winds is a proper session. Thursday the 17th is also a solid call, a little smaller but with that same clean offshore wind. Everything else is small or a bit wind-affected.

Stay stoked, and I'll see you out there.
