The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it — the next couple of weeks are proper flat and quiet for Noosa’s First Point. There just isn’t much to get excited about, and it’s a long, dry spell for the region. The whole sixteen-day window is a struggle, with nothing that really cracks a decent session. The first recommendation doesn’t even come until Tuesday morning the 1st of September, and even then, it’s just a pulse of weak, short-period east swell of 2ft at 10 seconds, with light cross-off southeasterly winds. The water’s sitting at 68° which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year (anomaly of -2°).
The combined swell energy is low, barely nudging into the two-digit range — we’re talking around 36 to 91 for most of the runs, so nothing behind it. That Tuesday morning setup gives surfable but ordinary waves, but it’s not worth paddling out for. The rest of the week is messy: cross-on winds from the north or northeast, with swell height rarely cracking 3ft and period often sitting at 5–8 seconds — short, weak and lumpy. Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th have some northerly windswell up to 4ft, but that’s blown out with onshore winds hitting 19 mph from the north, and only a 5-second period. That’s more of a kitesurfing setup than anything we’d bother with on a log.
Things flatten out again early the second week. By Monday the 8th of September, we get a bit of north-northeast swell pushing 6ft (period 6 seconds) and combined energy finally climbing to 204, so there’s some grunt, but the wind swings west — light cross-shore, gentle chop. That Tuesday afternoon run is marginal at best, with questionable tide issues. After that it’s back to small, weak swells and mostly clean but tiny conditions through to the 14th. Overall, the standout period would be that Tuesday the 8th if you’ve got a fish and you’re desperate, but it’s hardly a classic. The reality is, for First Point, this is a pretty normal blank run — these quiet spells do happen. Don’t hold your breath, just check back later. Forecasts change.
Rusty.
