The Lowdown
Righto, grab ya coffee and settle in. Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Noosa. It’s gonna be a quiet stretch for a while, so don’t be in a rush.
Overall, the pattern is flat to weak for the first week or more. There’s a lot of small, junky swell with onshore or cross-onshore winds keeping things messy. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – nothing wild, but you’ll feel that nip on a dawn session.
The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t pop up until the 4th of September. Friday morning at First Point is a glassy little moment with the wind swinging WNW and dropping to a light air. Swell’s tiny, only 1 ft from the east, but with that glassy surface it’ll be clean enough for a longboard or a mal. Don’t expect much push though – the energy is weak (50). It’s a ‘surfable but ordinary’ kind of morning.
Then we get a long gap. The next whisper of anything surfable kicks in on the 10th of September, Thursday. Thursday morning brings a clean cross-off from the SW with 4 ft of northeast swell, energy picking up to 108 – still moderate. Not a standout, but clean. The real standout of the whole outlook is Thursday afternoon, the 10th of September. First Point goes glassy again with a light NNW breeze, and the swell bumps to 3 ft from the ENE with a period of 7 seconds. It’s only 93 energy, but that glassy surface and a little bit of shape will make it the best of a very average run. If you can only paddle out once, that’s the window.
The 12th of September, Saturday morning, is worth a mention too. A moderate offshore from the SSE, 3 ft from the ENE, and 105 energy. Clean, but nothing special. The rest of the second week is mostly small, weak, and cross-off winds – surfable for a longboarder who just wants to get wet, but no fireworks.
The 15th of September, Tuesday afternoon, sees a jump in size to 5 ft from the NE, but the period is only 5 seconds and there’s a gentle cross-shore chop. That’s a bit of a mess for a point break – too much wind and short-period junk. Not the one.
So, the pick of the bunch is the 10th of September, Thursday afternoon, for that glassy, clean little wave. Second best is the morning of the 10th, or the 4th of September if you’re desperate for a glassy paddle. The rest… well, it’s a quiet spell. Stay patient.
Rusty.
