The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next week or so is a bit of a mixed bag for Noosa’s First Point. We’ve got a few small windows of clean fun, but you’ll need to be patient. The first few days are pretty ordinary, with small, short-period energy and mostly cross-off winds. The real standout, the one you want to circle, kicks off right at the start of September.

We’re looking at a slow start. Wednesday the 26th of August has tiny 3ft to 3ft waves from the ENE with a short 8-second period. The combined energy is weak (136) Wednesday afternoon, but it’s glassy – dead calm – so you could get a few fun little ones if you’re desperate. Thursday morning the 27th sees a moderate SSE breeze at 16 mph blowing offshore, cleaning up 2ft waves, but it’s still small and weak. Friday and Saturday (28th & 29th) are similar: 3ft to 3ft, short period, cross-off winds, and energy staying in the weak range (153 max). Nothing to write home about.

Sunday the 30th gets a bit weird. The morning is tiny at 3ft, but the afternoon sees a jump to 6ft from the SE, but with a terrible 6-second period and a moderate cross-off breeze. The combined energy shoots up to 369 (moderate), but that short period will make it a bumpy, gutless mess. Monday the 31st is still marginal, with 4ft to 5ft waves and a short 6-second period – energy is moderate (214) but the quality is poor.

Now, here’s where it gets good. Tuesday the 1st of September is the first real highlight. The morning brings 5ft waves from the ESE with a gentle 9 mph cross-off breeze, and the energy is moderate (204). By the afternoon, it cleans up even more: 5ft from the E, 7-second period, and a light 6 mph cross-off. The score says “expect good surf conditions.” This is your best bet for the first week – clean, waist-to-chest high waves, perfect for a longboard at First Point. Crowds are likely here, so get in early.

Wednesday the 2nd of September morning is a gem. Glassy conditions with only a 3 mph SE breeze, 4ft from the ENE with an 8-second period, and moderate energy (238). The winds are dead calm – it’ll be silky smooth. The afternoon turns cross-onshore, so make the most of the morning session.

After that, it drops off again. Thursday the 3rd through to Saturday the 6th of September are all poor, with onshore winds and tiny waves. Energy drops to weak levels (58-172). The swell is small and the wind is messy.

Then, on Monday the 7th of September, we get another pulse. The morning brings 6ft from the SE with an 8-second period, a light cross-off breeze, and strong energy (385). That’s a solid step up in size – still clean, but getting into the territory where it’s more for intermediate to advanced surfers. The afternoon stays clean with 5ft. This is the second standout, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.

The rest of the second week (8th to 10th of September) fades back to small, ordinary surf. Tuesday the 8th has glassy 3ft waves in the afternoon, but it’s weak. By Thursday the 10th, it’s tiny 2ft and glassy.

For the water temp, it’s about average for this time of year at Noosa – no radical swings.

Overall, the best sessions are Tuesday the 1st of September morning and afternoon, and the Wednesday the 2nd of September morning. The Monday the 7th of September morning is the biggest, cleanest swell of the whole outlook, but it’s further out. The rest is small, short-period, and mostly cross-off – surfable but nothing to get emotional about. Get out there when it’s clean and you’ll be smiling.

Rusty.
