Alright, surf crew, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the coming weeks at Noosa – First Point. Straight up, this is a classic point break that loves an east-northeasterly swell, so when the conditions line up, it’s pure magic. Right now, the water’s sitting at 69°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so you might want that extra layer.
We start off Sunday the 5th with some rideable waves, but it’s not the best. Sunday morning brings 0.7m (2ft) of swell from the ESE with a clean offshore wind. It’s small and the energy is weak (130), so you’ll be working for your fun. The afternoon jumps to 1.8m (6ft) but it’s a short-period 6-second wind swell, making it a bit messy.
Monday the 6th sees a solid jump in size – 2.5m (8ft) from the SE – and the energy is very strong (806 and 822). But that short period (7-8 seconds), onshore winds, and light rain mean the quality is off. This is powerful but unruly. Tuesday the 7th is a step better: 2.2m (7ft), SE, with an 8-second period and clean offshore winds (moderate breeze). It’s still a little hefty for beginners, and at 2.5m+ on Monday, that’s expert territory only.
Wednesday the 8th is where we start to see some class. Morning has 1.6m (5ft) from the SE with a very long 12-second period and clean offshore wind. Energy is strong (990). This is proper groundswell – long lines, good shape. The point will handle this beautifully. Thursday the 9th follows with similar quality: 1.6m (5ft), 11-second period, offshore wind – nice and clean.
The standout hits on Friday the 10th. Morning brings 2.1m (7ft) of SE swell with a 10-second period, clean offshore conditions, and very strong energy (1324). This is excellent for experienced surfers – powerful, well-shaped waves peeling down the point. Crowds are often here, but with these conditions, it’s worth sharing the lineup for a session like that. Afternoon turns tricky with rain and cross-off winds, so get out early.
From Saturday the 11th onward, the surf slowly fades. Morning has 1.1m (4ft), clean, gentle offshore – fun but small. By Sunday the 12th, glassy conditions with 1.1m (4ft), but then it drops off. From Monday the 13th to Monday the 20th, it’s mostly tiny – under 1.0m (3ft), weak energy, and the winds are all over the place. There are a few glassy moments on the 13th morning and the 19th morning, with 0.9m (3ft) and 1.0m (3ft), but the swell is just too small for any real quality. That’s a long flat spell of over a week.
So to wrap it: the real action is Thursday 9th through to Friday morning the 10th. That’s your window for proper, grinding point waves. After that, the point goes quiet for a while. Keep an eye on the charts – it tends not to stay flat for long.
Rusty.
