Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Noosa – First Point, but you’ll need to pick your windows. The water is sitting at 69°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so grab the wetsuit.
The main event kicks off Tuesday July 7th with a punchy 8ft SE swell, short 8 second period, and a fresh offshore breeze. That’s a decent amount of energy (687) and it’ll be clean. This one’s a little on the bigger side for beginners, but for anyone who can handle it, the morning is the pick. The afternoon holds the same size but the forecast is a bit touchy on the tide.
Wednesday the 8th is where it gets really interesting. Morning brings 5ft of SE swell, but look at that period – 12 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, with a huge jump in energy (1084). Add in a moderate offshore from the SSE and you’ve got excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The afternoon bumps up to 8ft with that same long period (12 seconds) and the energy rips up to 1438, but the tide window might make it tricky.
Thursday the 9th morning keeps the good times rolling: 7ft SE swell, 11 second period, and moderate offshore. That’s a solid, clean setup for the more skilled crew. Energy is still strong at 1208.
Friday the 10th sees the swell ease back to 4-5ft, still from the ESE/SE, but the energy drops (348-495). It’s still clean with offshore winds, so there are waves to be had, just not the standout quality of the earlier days.
Saturday the 11th morning is small at 4ft and clean, but the afternoon goes cross-shore and the waves shrink to 3ft. Sunday the 12th is tiny with glassy conditions in the afternoon, but barely a bump. Monday the 13th through Thursday the 16th are mostly flat or tiny, with poor conditions for surfing. There’s a real quiet spell there for about four days.
Friday the 17th of July throws a bit of a curveball – a bump of 5-6ft from the SE, but it’s a short 6-second period, messy, and the wind is howling out of the S at 22 mph. That’s more of a windy, choppy mess than proper surf. Kite surfers might have a look.
The real gem in the long range is on Wednesday the 22nd of July. The morning is glassy, dead calm, with a clean 5ft SE swell and a lovely 12-second period. Energy is a solid 625. That looks like the standout of the whole outlook – clean, lined-up groundswell at First Point. But it’s a long way off, so keep an eye on it.
The best of the best? Wednesday the 8th morning and Thursday the 9th morning. Get out there if you can. The long-range Wednesday 22nd morning is one for the diary.
Rusty.
