The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty, and here’s how the next couple of weeks are shaping up for Noosa – First Point. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s a real standout building for the second week that’s got me keen.

Right now, we’re looking at a few days of tiny, weak surf. Monday the 27th through Wednesday the 29th of July is pretty hopeless – waves are around 1ft to 2ft, mostly from the SE and E, with a short, weak period. The combined energy is barely registering (24 to 52), and the wind is light but not doing us any favours. It’s a flat spell, so don’t bother paddling out.

Thursday the 30th sees a slight lift to 2ft with a cleaner offshore wind from the S, and the energy climbs a bit (79 to 83), but it’s still pretty ordinary. Friday the 31st morning is the first real glimpse of something – swell jumps to 6ft from the SE, with a moderate offshore from the SSE, and energy hits 279. That’s a solid pulse, but it drops off quick in the afternoon. Saturday and Sunday the 1st and 2nd of August are messy with rain showers and cross-off winds, energy stays moderate (96 to 234), but the swell is mixed and period is short.

The real gem arrives on Tuesday the 5th of August afternoon. The swell pushes to 6ft from the SE, period is a short 6 seconds, but the energy is strong at 305 and the wind is light. It’s a good session, but the week after is where it gets special.

Wednesday the 6th of August morning through Friday the 7th of August morning has solid 5ft to 6ft ESE swell, clean offshore winds from the S and SSE, and energy around 225 to 299. The conditions are consistent, but the standout is Monday the 10th of August afternoon. The swell hits 8ft from the ESE with a 10-second period – that’s proper groundswell – and the energy is massive at 1779. The wind is light from the SE, so it’s clean. This is the best on offer, and for experienced surfers, it’s excellent.

Then Tuesday the 11th of August morning is absolutely glassy – zero wind from the west, a 7ft E swell, 10-second period, and energy at 832. It’s a dreamy morning at First Point, but the afternoon gets a bit bumpy with a light cross-shore. The water temperature is about 69°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, so no wetsuit drama.

Overall, the first week is a write-off until Friday the 31st of July, then the second week from Tuesday the 5th of August onward has the goods. The absolute pick is Monday the 10th of August afternoon for the big ESE swell and clean conditions. Get on it.

Rusty.
