The Lowdown

Alright, how's it going? Rusty here. We've got a mixed bag comin' up for Noosa. Gonna be a quiet start before some real size shows up, but you gotta be patient.

Through Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th, the surf is tiny. We're talking knee-high slop with almost no power – 0.3ft to 0.6ft at best. You'd be wasting your time. The first day with anything to offer is Thursday, July 16th.

On Thursday the 16th, Noosa - First Point gets a big pulse. The swell jumps to 8ft from the SSE (897), but the period is short, just 8 seconds. It's going to be lumpy and work-like despite a strong 22 mph offshore wind. That's expert-only territory with waves that big and junky. The water temp is about 69°F, nothing unusual for the time of year.

Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th keep that same theme – big surf (8ft to 10ft) with short, raw swell and strong winds. Not a pretty picture for the recreational surfer.

The real standouts are a bit later. If you can hold out, Monday the 21st of July is looking sweet. The wind turns to a moderate 12 mph S offshore, the swell from the ESE drops to a still-solid 8ft, but the period stretches to 10 seconds, and the energy is huge at 2349. That's a proper groundswell with clean conditions – First Point will be firing for the experienced guys.

But the best of the whole run looks like Thursday the 23rd of July. You've got a 16 mph S offshore breeze, 7ft of swell from the ESE, and a very long 13-second period. The energy reading is 1488. That's pure, long-range groundswell. At a point break like First Point, those long-period swells just groove down the bank – think long, walled-up rides. This one's a serious looker, but it's a ways out, so don't bet the farm on it yet.

The days after that, through the 24th, 25th, and 26th, keep producing clean, waist-to-shoulder high waves with long periods and offshore winds. A really solid run of conditions. The swell then fades out towards the end of the month. So in short, skip the tiny early stuff, and start thinking about that window around the 21st through the 26th. The 23rd is the one to circle.

Rusty.
