The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Noosa First Point over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a long stretch of small, average surf to start with. The first session worth looking at is this Thursday morning, 27 August – a 2ft easterly swell, period around 8 seconds, with a moderate offshore breeze from the SSE. The combined wave energy is (106), so it’s weak, but that offshore wind means clean conditions for the beginners out there. Water temp is nothing unusual for this time of year. Friday and Saturday stay small, with 3ft to 3ft east-southeast swells and gentle offshore or cross-off winds – surfable but nothing to write home about.
The standout session is Sunday morning, 30 August. We get a jump in size to 6ft from the SSE, period a short 6 seconds, and combined energy hits (256) – moderate energy. The wind is a moderate offshore from the SSE, so it’ll be clean. For First Point, this is the best we’ll see across the entire forecast. It’s a point break, so that short-period swell will wrap in fine, and the offshore breeze will set up some proper lines. It’s fairly consistent here, but crowds are often a thing, so paddle out early.
After that Sunday, it drops off hard. Monday 31 August sees tiny 1ft surf with combined energy at just 34, and through the first week of September we’re mostly looking at 3ft or less, with cross-off or onshore winds and combined energy staying under 100 or barely over. There’s a glassy moment on the morning of Wednesday 2 September with 2ft from the east, but again, tiny.
The second week, starting around 4 September, is pretty flat. The only tiny bump is Tuesday 8 September afternoon – 4ft from the NE, but with a period of only 5 seconds and combined energy at just 94 – weak and messy. The wind is cross-off so it’ll be clean, but the quality will be poor. It stays small and weak into Friday 11 September, when we see 4ft from the east, but with a moderate cross-off breeze and combined energy at 160 – still just moderate and nothing special.
So, the call is simple: Sunday morning 30 August is your one real highlight. The rest of the 16-day window is mostly small, weak, and average. This is Rusty, signing off.
