The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the Sunshine Coast over the next couple of weeks.

First off, don’t get too excited about this weekend or the start of the coming week. We’ve got a bit of a flat spell to work through. From Friday the 11th right through to Monday the 14th, it’s pretty grim. We’re looking at small, weak swell with cross-off winds that just aren’t making it worth your while. The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year at 70°, so nothing out of the ordinary there.

The real story starts to build towards the middle of next week. Wednesday the 16th afternoon sees a jump in energy, with the combined swell energy hitting 510 (moderate). Swell comes in at 8ft from the SSE, period around 7 seconds. The wind is cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the short period means it’ll be a bit lumpy. This is more of a warm-up.

Now, Thursday the 17th is where we start to see something. The morning brings clean 8ft swell from the SE with a 9-second period – that’s groundswell energy starting to show. The wind is a fresh offshore from the S, making for some proper clean lines. Energy is up at 816 (strong). This is a solid option for experienced surfers, as 8ft is pushing into expert territory. The afternoon gets bigger, hitting 10ft from the SE, but the wind goes cross-off and the period drops to 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit of a handful.

The standout window is Friday the 18th morning. This is the pick of the fortnight. We’ve got a clean 8ft swell from the SE with a 9-second period, a moderate offshore breeze from the SSE, and the combined energy is 815 (strong). This is proper groundswell, and with that offshore wind, Noosa’s First Point will be holding some nice, lined-up waves. The morning session is going to be very good. The afternoon holds similar size but the wind shifts slightly cross-off, so the quality drops a notch.

Saturday the 19th still has plenty of juice, with the swell easing through the day from 6ft to 5ft, but the period stretches out to 10 seconds. The wind is light and cross-off, making for a clean, fun day. The afternoon session scores a “very good” tag.

From Sunday the 20th onwards, we drop right back off. The swell fades away into the 2ft range with onshore winds and very weak energy, so it’s back to the flat spell for the rest of the forecast period. Not much to get wet for after the weekend.

So in short: sit tight through the weekend and Monday. Thursday morning is solid but big. Friday the 18th morning is your best bet for clean, powerful, offshore waves at Noosa’s First Point. Get on it.

Rusty.
