The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s see what’s cooking.
We’re looking at a flat start, no doubt about it. The first few days are tiny and choppy, not much to write home about. The first flicker of life doesn’t show up until Friday the 4th, but it’s only 1ft of weak, short-period stuff. It’s a long wait through a lot of nothing until we hit the second week.
The one to circle is Thursday the 10th. We’ve got a southeast swell pushing in, 5ft on the morning, period around 7 seconds, with combined swell energy at a solid 241. The wind will be clean and cross-offshore from the southeast, so the surface should be nice and tidy. This is a beach and reef setup, so at waist-to-chest high with that wind, it could be a fun session, though the short period might make it a bit lumpy. Crowds are always a possibility at Noosa, and this one’s good for all levels.
Later on, Wednesday the 16th is worth a look. Another clean pulse from the east at 5ft, period around 7 seconds, with that same southeast cross-off breeze. Combined energy is 207, so another moderate pulse. Not huge, but decent enough.
Overall, the 16-day window is pretty small and the wind is mostly messy or onshore. Energy levels are mostly below 100, so it’s weak. Water temp is about average. It’s a quiet outlook, but the 10th and 16th are your best bets for a clean paddle. This area can go flat, so it’s not a surprise.
