The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s look at what Noosa – First Point has coming up over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a bit of a mixed start. The real action kicks off mid-week, but it takes a few days for things to clean up properly. The standout window is Wednesday the 19th through Friday the 21st, with Wednesday morning being the best mix of size and quality.
Tuesday the 18th is a write-off – there’s swell around 2.0m but the wind is messy and the energy’s only moderate (437). Water temp is 20°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year – not a big deal, just a degree or so off.
Wednesday the 19th morning is the pick of the bunch. Swell hits about 2.1m from the ESE with an 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to strong (979). The cross-off breeze is light and clean – that’ll give you proper lines. Afternoon drops to 1.4m but the period stretches to 11 seconds, making for a nice groundswell – longer period stuff can straighten out on the beachies, but First Point handles it well.
Thursday the 20th is smaller – 1.3m in the morning, cleaning up a little, but nothing special. Afternoon has cleaner 1.2m from the ESE. Friday the 21st morning is worth a look too – 1.3m from the east with a light SSE breeze, clean and lined up.
From Saturday the 22nd onward, the swell fades and the wind turns onshore more often. Saturday morning is glassy with 1.1m, but it’s weak (146). Sunday morning is also glassy with 1.0m – fine for a longboard but no punch. Then from Monday the 24th through the end of the month, it’s a flat spell. The combined energy drops below 100 most days, and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore. A few mornings around the 30th and 31st have a light offshore, but the swell is tiny – 0.6m to 0.9m – barely worth getting wet for.
So to sum it up: Wednesday morning the 19th is the clear standout – solid 2.1m ESE swell, clean cross-off breeze, and strong energy. That’s your best bet this period. After that, the swell dies and the window closes. If you want a glassy small-wave session, Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd mornings are your next best, but don’t expect much.
Rusty.
