The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Lookin' at the next 16 days for the Noosa First Point region, and honestly, it's a real mixed bag. We've got a bit of a slow start, but for those with patience, there's a couple of standout windows that'll make it all worthwhile.
The water temp is sittin' around 69°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off. Saturday afternoon and pretty much all of Sunday and Monday have some surf, but the conditions are just ordinary. The swell is small and the wind is mostly cross-off, so it's surfable but nothin' to get excited about.
Now, the first real highlight pops up on Monday morning, August 3rd. We've got a solid 3ft swell rollin' in from the SE, and the real kicker is the period – a massive 13 seconds. That's a proper groundswell with some serious energy (combined energy of 553). The wind is a light cross-off, keeping things clean. This is a classic Noosa point break setup, that long period stuff will wrap around nicely. It's a beginner wave, but with that size and period, it'll be a fun, consistent ride.
After that, we drop back into a lull. Tuesday and Wednesday are small and windy, with some glassy moments but not much push. The rest of the first week and into the second is pretty average – small swells, cross-off winds, and low energy. It's a lot of "surfable but ordinary" conditions.
Then, we finally get a couple of promising windows in the second week. On Thursday, August 13th, the morning is a write-off with strong onshore wind, but the afternoon cleans right up. We get a 4ft swell from the ESE with a 12-second period and light offshore wind. The energy is strong (combined energy of 441). That's a solid pulse for the point.
The next morning, Friday, August 14th, looks even better for the early session. It's glassy, with a 3ft SW groundswell still at a long 12 seconds (combined energy of 299). That's a great morning for a paddle.
So, if you're lookin' for the best on offer, pencil in Monday morning, August 3rd, and then Friday morning, August 14th. That's where the magic is. The rest of the time, keep your expectations low, but hey, it's Noosa, it never stays flat for long.
Rusty.
