Noosa - First Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Noosa’s First Point over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are definitely a few moments where it’ll be worth paddling out.

The pattern starts off pretty average this Monday the 17th. We’ve got some 8ft swell rolling in from the ESE, but it’s cross-off with a fresh breeze and the energy is only moderate at 548. It’s a bit messy and the conditions aren’t doing it any favours. Things are looking a little better come Wednesday the 19th morning – the swell is still a fun 7ft from the ESE, but the wind backs off to a gentle cross-off breeze, and the energy bumps up to 640, which is pushing into that moderate-to-strong range. That window looks like the best of the early run, and for a beginner-friendly point break like this, that’s a solid call.

The real standout, though, has to be Saturday the 22nd morning. Sure, the swell drops to 4ft from the east, but listen – it’s glassy. Dead glass. With a light SSW breeze and clean conditions, First Point will be looking like a mirror. The energy is low at 169, so it’ll be small and fun, perfect for a longboard and a relaxing session without getting pounded.

After that, things go quiet. Sunday the 23rd offers a bit more size at 4ft from the ENE, but it’s nothing special. From Monday the 24th through to Wednesday the 26th, we’ve got a real dry spell – tiny swell, poor winds, and a whole lot of nothing. That gap of nearly three days with no real surf is a bummer, but that’s how it goes sometimes.

Then, from Thursday the 27th, we get a little pulse back. Morning sessions on the 27th and 28th see 5ft and 4ft swell from the SE and ESE, with clean cross-off and offshore winds. The energy is back up a bit too – 267 and 173 respectively. Nothing huge, but clean lines and a point break like First Point will make the most of it.

Further out, Monday the 1st of September sees a long-period swell of 13 seconds from the ESE at 4ft, but it’s cross-on and messy. The energy is moderate at 465, but the conditions aren’t there to make it a standout. It’s a promising sign for the second week, but it’s a long way off and could change.

So, to wrap it up: if you’re after the cleanest, most enjoyable surf, aim for Wednesday the 19th morning for the best combination of size and wind, or Saturday the 22nd morning for that perfect glassy, small-wave session.
