Table - best surf conditions forecast for Noosa - First Point over the next 16 days.
G’day, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at the next 16 days for Noosa – First Point.
Right now, the first week is a bit of a slow cooker. We’ve got nothing rideable on the immediate horizon. Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th are a write-off – tiny, messy, cross-onshore junk. Tuesday the 14th morning goes glassy but the swell is only 1 ft, so it’s barely a ripple. Wednesday the 15th has clean offshore winds but the swell is even smaller – 1 ft – so you’re still waiting. That’s about four days of flat, frustrating conditions.
Then things get interesting. Thursday the 16th morning sees a jump to 6 ft from the SSE, with a fresh offshore breeze and clean conditions. The wave energy is moderate (479). By Thursday afternoon the swell hits 10 ft (SSE), and it’s clean – but that’s getting into proper size, and the period is short (8 seconds), so it’ll be a bit lumpy and walled up. This is big enough for experts only. The combined energy is strong (1215). Friday the 17th stays big – 12 ft SE swell with strong offshore winds, but that’s a lot of water moving (2257 energy). It’s clean but hard work. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th keep the 10 ft to 12 ft SE swell going, with cross-offshore winds and clean faces. The energy is very high (up to 4527). This whole stretch is for experienced surfers only – it’s too big for beginners.
The standout period comes on Monday the 20th. The morning brings 8 ft SE swell, light cross-offshore breeze, clean conditions, and excellent surf for experienced surfers (1865 energy). The wind stays manageable, and the wave quality is good. Tuesday the 21st morning is a gem – glassy, 6 ft ESE groundswell with a long period of 12 seconds, and clean conditions. That’s a beautiful combo for a point break like Noosa – the long period will give nice lines, though it might be a bit straight at the beach. The energy is moderate (949). This is the best on offer across the whole 16 days.
From Wednesday the 22nd, the swell drops back to 5 ft SE, then Thursday the 23rd morning brings a bump up to 7 ft SE with gentle offshore wind and clean surf – excellent for experienced surfers again (1025 energy). The period is short (8 seconds), so it’ll be punchy. After that, the last few days into the 27th fade out quickly with small, weak, cross-onshore junk. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Crowds at Noosa First Point are often around, so expect company, especially on the cleaner days.
Summing it up: the first week is a dud, then a solid run of big, clean, expert-only surf from the 16th to the 19th, with the real standout being the 20th and 21st – especially Tuesday morning’s glassy 6 ft groundswell. That’s the one to circle on the calendar.
Rusty.
