The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag on the horizon for Noosa’s First Point. The week ahead is pretty quiet, but there’s a real standout waiting for us in the second week. Let’s break it down.

First up, we’ve got a stretch of small, weak surf. Friday the 24th kicks off with a 3-foot east swell at 8 seconds, energy is low (113), and that cross-off southeast wind isn’t doing us any favours – it’s clean but pretty ordinary. Water temp is sitting at 69°, which is about normal for this time of year.

Saturday the 25th morning is where things start to look a little better. The swell holds at 3 feet from the east, but the wind swings south and goes offshore. That’s clean, and the energy jumps up to 253 – solidly moderate. It’s a decent little window for a beginner-friendly wave, but don’t expect any barrels.

Sunday the 26th drops right back off. Swell shrinks to 2 feet, period drops to 7 seconds, and energy plummets to 69. It’s surfable, but ordinary. Monday and Tuesday are even smaller, with tiny 1-foot to 1-foot swells. Honestly, not worth paddling out for.

Then comes Thursday the 30th. We get a spike in size, with a 6-foot south-southeast swell on the morning, and it jumps to 8 feet in the afternoon. Energy hits 613 – that’s strong. But the period is only 6 seconds, so it’s short-period windswell, and the wind is a fresh offshore at 22 mph. It’s clean, but it’s going to be lumpy and difficult. That 8 feet is too big for beginners, and without a decent period, it’s raw and challenging. It’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a classic paddle wave.

We then go through a patch of poor surf right into the first week of August. Everything from the 1st to the 4th is cross-off winds, with swell sizes around 4 feet to 6 feet, but all short period (6-7 seconds) and energy between 151 and 280. It’s clean, but it’s not good. Just a lot of clean, weak, onshore windswell. Not worth a special trip.

Now, the standout. Wednesday the 5th of August is where it’s at. The swell picks up to 3 feet to 4 feet from the east-southeast, and the period jumps to 12 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. Energy is 304 to 333, so moderate. The wind is light and offshore from the south-southeast, making for clean, lined-up waves. This is the best on offer. It’s a point break, so that long-period energy will wrap in beautifully, and with light offshore winds, it’s going to be glassy. Crowds are often a thing at First Point, so expect company, but the quality will be worth it.

Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th hold similar conditions. Thursday has 3 feet from the east-southeast at 11 seconds, with light offshore winds – clean again. Friday the 7th sees a 3-foot east-southeast swell at 12 seconds, with Friday morning being absolutely glassy (ENE wind at 3 mph). That’s a magic window. Energy is 225, so moderate, but the glassy conditions will make it silky smooth. The afternoon gets a bit crossed, but the morning is the pick.

Saturday the 8th also offers a 3-foot east-southeast swell at 12 seconds, with a light cross-off breeze in the morning – clean and fun.

So, the real standout is Wednesday the 5th through Friday the 7th of August, with that groundswell from the east-southeast, long 12-second periods, and light offshore or glassy winds. The surf is modest in size (3 feet to 4 feet), but it’ll be clean, well-shaped, and perfect for a longboard or a fun shortboard. The first week is a write-off, but the second week is promising. Keep an eye on it.

Rusty.
