The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break it down in feet and knots for the Noosa outlook.
The water's about 69°F, which is a bit chilly for the season.
We're kicking off with a flat spell. Saturday the 5th through Monday the 7th are basically a no-go with tiny, weak waves and rubbish conditions. Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th have a little more oomph, but it's still small and messy. We're talking knee-high slop with weak energy, so you can get wet, but don't expect much.
Thursday the 10th sees a jump in size, with an 8ft swell, but it's a short-period wind swell, blowing up with a fresh offshore wind. The energy is solid (498), but it'll be a bouncy, choppy mess. Not the spot for the groms at First Point.
Friday the 11th is the first decent day. A 5ft swell from the SSE with a moderate offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (251) and the conditions are clean. The morning is the clear winner. It's a bit big for a beginner, but for a solid intermediate, it's a good day.
The following week is a lot of small dribble. There's a glassy morning on Tuesday the 15th, but the swell is tiny, only about 2ft.
The real highlight is shaping up for Friday the 18th of September. The morning is looking epic. A 4ft swell, but with an 18-second period – that's a genuine groundswell. The energy is a massive 1004, which is very strong. And the wind? A light offshore breeze from the south. That's a recipe for perfection at First Point. The long period will mean smooth, powerful lines peeling down the point. It's a bit much for a beginner, but for the experienced surfer, this is the one to watch. It's a long-range call, so keep your fingers crossed, but it's looking like a proper standout.
So, a bit of a lean period with one absolute gem on the horizon. That Friday the 18th morning is the one to aim for.
Rusty.
