The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we're looking at a pretty slow start for the Noosa First Point area. The first few days are offering up tiny, weak waves with very ordinary conditions. The mornings on Tuesday the 28th of July and Wednesday the 29th are clean, but we're talking about ankle-snappers of 1.3ft to 1.6ft with barely any energy behind them. It's not really worth paddling out for. We've got a few days of this small stuff, with a bit of a bump in size on Friday the 31st, but the swell period is short and the energy is still mixed.
The real standout window looks to be Monday the 3rd of August. We've got a solid 4.9ft swell from the east, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 379. The wind is a gentle offshore from the SSE, keeping things glassy and clean. This is the best on offer across the whole forecast. It's a beginner-friendly size, but with enough push to have some fun. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
Then we get a bit of a mixed bag. Tuesday the 4th sees similar size but with a bit more wind and some rain showers, making it a bit less appealing. By Wednesday the 5th, the swell drops right off, and we get a blast of fresh offshore wind, which is actually a bit too strong for clean surfing. The following week shows a few more pulses of energy, but consistency is lacking. The morning of Sunday the 9th of August looks promising again, with a 3.6ft SSE swell and a moderate offshore wind, giving us a clean 8-second wave with an energy of 202. It's a good solid option, but not quite the standout of the 3rd.
The very end of the forecast, around Wednesday the 12th of August, shows a big spike in energy (413) with a 3.9ft swell from the east at a decent 10-second period, but the wind is cross-off and the conditions are described as poor, which is a shame. That energy could be special if the wind plays ball.
So, for the best bet, I'd be looking at the 3rd of August for the cleanest, most fun waves. The 9th is a solid backup. The first week is a lot of waiting for something worth getting wet for.
