The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Noosa - First Point.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first surf that’s worth talking about doesn’t really kick in until Friday the 31st of July, but honestly, it’s pretty ordinary. We’re looking at a small 3ft easterly swell with a weak period, and while the wind is offshore, the overall energy is low (101). It’s surfable, but nothing to get excited about.

Things start to look a little more interesting on Saturday morning, the 1st of August. The swell jumps up to 5ft from the SSE, but the period is short at 6 seconds, so it’s a bit of a junky, wind-affected peak. The wind is offshore, so it’ll be clean, but the quality isn’t top shelf. The combined energy is moderate (227). Saturday afternoon turns poor again as the wind swings cross-off.

Sunday the 2nd offers a mixed bag. The morning has a 5ft ESE swell, but the wind is cross-off and the period is still short, making it a bit of a mess – marginal at best. The energy is moderate (259). The afternoon is better, with a 4ft easterly swell and lighter winds, giving a cleaner look and a higher energy reading (364).

Now, Monday the 3rd is where we start to see a real standout. The morning brings a 3ft SE groundswell with a lovely long 13-second period. The wind is offshore from the south, and the energy is strong (393). This is going to produce some beautifully shaped, clean lines, perfect for a longboard or a fish. The long period means it’ll be a bit more selective, with better waves for the point break setup. This is the best session on offer in the first week.

Tuesday the 4th is glassy in the morning, but the swell drops back to 2ft and the energy is weaker (150). It’s still surfable, but not a patch on Monday.

The middle of the week from Wednesday the 5th through to the 9th is a real lull. Swell sizes hang around 2ft to 2ft, with weak energy and mostly poor conditions. There’s a gap of several days here where the surf is just too small and messy to recommend.

We get a bit of a pulse again on Tuesday the 11th of August, with a 4ft SSE swell, but the period is a short 6 seconds and the onshore wind ruins it. Not worth the paddle.

The real promise shows up in the second week. Wednesday the 12th of August morning has a clean 3ft easterly swell with a solid 11-second period and offshore wind. The energy is strong (224). This is another good window, with clean, lined-up waves. Thursday the 13th of August afternoon is also a standout, with a glassy 3ft easterly swell (11-second period) and strong energy (209). That afternoon session is going to be silky smooth.

Overall, the best of the best is Monday the 3rd of August morning, with that long-period groundswell and offshore wind. The water temperature is 69°F, which is about 1°F cooler than average for this time of year, so it’s a touch on the fresh side, but nothing a good spring suit won’t handle. Noosa - First Point is a fairly consistent point break, and crowds are often a factor here, so expect company. The optimum swell direction is ENE, and the swells we’re seeing are mostly from that E to SE quadrant, so it’s a good match.

Rusty.
