The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin’ out the Noosa First Point forecast.
It starts real slow. From Sunday, July 26th through Thursday the 30th, it’s tiny and weak. Water temp is about 69°, pretty normal for this time of year.
Then Friday, July 31st morning, we get a little bump. Swell around 5ft from the SE, but it’s got a short period so it’s a bit crumbly. Energy is moderate, and the wind is clean offshore. That’s a short window, though – it fades quick.
After a quiet weekend, Monday, August 3rd morning is the best call. Swell around 4ft from the SE with an 11-second period. The energy is strong and the wind is light offshore, making for clean, lined-up waves. The direction is what First Point likes. Expect a crowd – it’s always popular.
Tuesday the 4th still has some waist-high options and clean conditions, but the real standout is that Monday morning. After that, the surf drops off again. A small, glassy morning on August 10th but nothing to write home about.
So, two real chances: Friday the 31st of July morning and Monday the 3rd of August morning. The rest is mostly a waiting game. Monday’s the pick.
Rusty.

Information about the Noosa - First Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Noosa - First Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Noosa - First Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Noosa - First Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Noosa - First Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Noosa - First Point may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
