The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Noosa. It’s a slow start, but there’s some solid stuff brewing if you can wait.
The water temp at Noosa - First Point is 68°, which is right on the money for this time of year – nothing unusual.
The first few days are a bust. Sunday the 9th starts glassy with a 3ft east swell (moderate energy), but it’s small and the afternoon gets messy. Monday and Tuesday are tiny and poor. There’s a gap of several days where you’re better off doing something else. Thursday the 14th morning has a clean offshore wind and a little 5ft SSE swell, but it’s short-period and weak.
Then it starts to build. Tuesday the 18th sees swell hitting 8ft from the east, but the wind isn’t right yet.
The standout is Thursday the 20th of August. That morning, Noosa - First Point is firing. A solid 8ft east swell with a 9-second period, pumping massive energy. The wind is offshore from the SSE – clean faces. This is expert territory, not for beginners. The wave comment says excellent for experienced surfers, and that’s the truth. This is the one to circle.
Then Friday the 21st morning is a gem. Swell drops a bit to 7ft from the east, but the wind goes glassy. Dead calm. That’s as good as it gets for a point break. The energy is still strong, and the longer period (10 seconds) means proper groundswell. Clean, lined up, and waiting.
Saturday the 22nd morning also looks good with a 7ft east swell (11-second period) and a cross-off breeze – another top session for the experienced crew.
Bottom line: the first week is quiet. The real deal is from Thursday the 20th to Saturday the 22nd. Thursday is the big power day for experts, Friday is the glassy dream. Crowds are often a factor at First Point, so be ready to share the lineup.
Patience pays off here.
