Noosa - First Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, it's Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's coming up for Noosa – First Point over the next couple of weeks. It's a slow start, but there's a bit of a pulse building later on.

The first couple of days are pretty flat and messy. Wednesday the 29th has a tiny 1ft NE swell with weak combined energy (27), and it's glassy in the morning, but there's just no push to it. Thursday the 30th brings a slight improvement, with a 2ft ENE swell showing up under a gentle offshore breeze. The combined energy bumps up to (80), and it'll be clean, but it's still small.

Friday the 31st through Saturday the 1st stays in the same vein – small E swells around 2ft to 3ft, with a moderate offshore wind keeping things tidy. The energy is still modest (104 and 65). Saturday afternoon, the wind swings and the size jumps to 5ft, but it's a choppy mess with a fresh cross-offshore breeze and combined energy climbing to (191). Not the one.

Sunday the 2nd sees the swell push up to 5ft to 6ft from the east, with combined energy jumping to (279) and then (482) in the afternoon. It's clean enough with a cross-offshore breeze, but the period is short at 7-8 seconds, so it'll be a bit of a bumpy, crumbly wave. Still, there's a bit of grunt there.

Now, the standout is Monday the 3rd of August. That's the one to circle. The morning brings a 4ft E swell with a gentle offshore wind, glassy conditions, and combined energy sitting at a solid (290). The afternoon holds up with 4ft and clean conditions under a light cross-offshore breeze. This is the best of the whole run – proper waves, good shape, and you'll have the place to yourself early if you're keen. The swell direction is a perfect ENE, which is exactly what Noosa loves.

After Monday, it drops away again. Tuesday the 4th has a 3ft E swell with glassy conditions in the morning, but the energy is half of what it was (150). The rest of the week slides into smaller, weaker swells in the 1ft to 2ft range, with combined energy dropping below 100. The winds are mostly light and offshore or cross-offshore, so it'll be clean, but you'll be fighting for scraps.

The second week, from the 7th onwards, is a quiet affair. The swell never really gets going, with heights mostly below 2ft and combined energy sitting in the 40s to 80s. A few glassy windows on the 9th and 10th mornings, but the waves are tiny. There's a small spike of 3ft on the 13th from the SE, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it's a write-off.

Overall, it's a slow run for Noosa. The best bet is that Monday the 3rd of August, with the 4ft E swell and clean offshore winds. Otherwise, it's a lot of small, clean days for a longboard or a paddle, but nothing that'll get your heart racing.

Rusty.
