G’day, Rusty here. Look, this next week and a half at Noosa First Point is a bit of a mixed bag, but we’ve got a few days that will get the heart pumping.

Overall, the pattern swings from a slow start into a serious mid-week pulse of groundswell, then fades back into smaller stuff. The water’s sitting at 69°F, which is about average for this time of year – nothing wild there.

The first proper surf kicks off Friday afternoon (July 3rd). It’s tiny with 2ft of swell from the ESE and a 10-second period. The wind is glassy out of the north at 3 mph, so conditions are dead clean, but the energy is weak (170). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. Saturday morning (July 4th) stays small at 3ft, but the wind swings south at 12 mph and goes offshore, making it clean. By Saturday afternoon, the swell bumps to 4ft from the SE, but the period drops to a short 6 seconds. The energy is moderate (245) and the offshore wind holds, so it’s a decent session for a beginner.

Sunday (July 5th) gets messy. The swell jumps to 6ft, but the southerly wind cranks up to 19 mph and goes cross-offshore. It’s going to be blown out and choppy. Honestly, it’s more of a kite day than a paddle day. Monday (July 6th) is similar – 8ft of SE swell but with a short period and strong cross-offshore winds over 19 mph. The energy is strong (884), but the quality is poor.

Now, here’s where it gets good. Tuesday morning (July 7th) the wind eases back to a clean offshore from the south at 16 mph. The swell is still 6ft from the SE (8-second period), and the energy is strong (544). Conditions are clean and punchy – this is a solid day for an intermediate surfer.

But the real standout is Wednesday morning (July 8th). A long-period groundswell rolls in: 7ft from the SE with a 12-second period, and the energy is very strong (1886). The wind is offshore from the south at 16 mph. This is what you wait for. The wave shape will be better with that longer period, and because it’s a point break, it’ll handle that groundswell beautifully. This is for experienced surfers only – it’s heavy and powerful. Thursday morning (July 9th) is nearly as good: 7ft from the SSE, 10-second period, energy at 1456, and clean offshore wind. Another expert session.

From Friday afternoon (July 10th) onward, the size drops. By the weekend (July 11th-12th), we’re back to 3ft or smaller, with clean offshore winds but very weak energy. There’s a real gap from the 13th to the 15th of July where the surf is tiny or poor, nothing worth chasing.

Looking further out to Wednesday July 15th and Thursday July 16th, a new pulse of 6ft to 6ft SE swell arrives, but with a short 6-7 second period. The winds stay light to moderate and cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean but a bit weak. Friday July 17th holds 7ft to 7ft from the ESE with offshore winds – that’s a promising but less certain call this far out.

So, the best of the best? Lock in Wednesday morning (July 8th). It’s the biggest, longest-period, and cleanest of the whole run. Thursday morning (July 9th) is a very close second. Get out there, but only if you know what you’re doing.

Rusty.

Information about the Noosa - First Point Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Noosa - First Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Noosa - First Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Noosa - First Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Noosa - First Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Noosa - First Point may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
