The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s take a look at what’s comin’ up for Noosa – First Point over the next couple weeks.
Honestly, there’s not much to get fired up about for a good stretch. The first week is pretty rough. We start on Friday the 28th of August – it’s clean with a 1.0m ESE swell, but the period is a weak 7 seconds and the combined energy is only moderate at 115. Wind is cross-off from the ESE at 12 mph, but the surf is poor. Water temp is 69°, which is a bit colder than normal – about a degree off.
Saturday the 29th drops off – tiny 0.5m E swell, 8-second period, energy down around 48-50, cross-off winds. Not worth it. Sunday the 30th sees a bump to 2.1m from the SE, but it’s short-period at 7 seconds. Energy jumps to 430 (strong), but wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-off, and the surf is still poor. That’s a lot of lumpy water for no payoff – over 1.5m, so it’s too big for beginners.
Monday the 31st has a morning offshore from the S at 12 mph, but the swell is only 0.4m. The afternoon picks up to 1.6m, but it’s short (6 seconds) and cross-off – marginal. Tuesday the 1st of September is tiny again, 0.5m E swell with 10-second period and light winds – just ordinary.
Here’s the one standout in the whole run. Wednesday morning the 2nd of September – it’s not big, only 0.5m from the E, but that 10-second period is solid, and the wind goes glassy from the NW at 3 mph. Flat calm, clean as a whistle. Combined energy is low at 72, but for a small wave session on a point break exposed to the ENE, it’ll be rideable and fun. Crowds are “often,” so expect some company at First Point. That’s your best bet – a quiet, glassy morning.
After that, it’s downhill. From Wednesday afternoon through the end of the 16-day window, it’s mostly onshore winds, tiny waves, and poor conditions. A few days – like Monday the 7th – have glassy mornings again, but the swell is laughably small (0.6m from the NNE, 6-second period). The tail end from the 8th to the 12th of September sees some cross-off winds and a bit more energy (like Friday the 11th with 1.1m ENE, 7 seconds, 241 energy), but the surf never breaks out of marginal at best.
So, for the whole 16-day outlook, Wednesday the 2nd of September at First Point is the one to circle. Small, clean, glassy – beginner-friendly and a nice morning session. Everything else is a dud.
Rusty.
