Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at our local stretch. We've got a bit of a slow start, but there’s some serious potential on the horizon if you're patient enough to wait for it.

Right now, wave heights are tiny with poor conditions, so don’t bother paddling out just yet. The first real surf on offer kicks off on Saturday morning, July 5th. We see a 3ft ESE swell with a 9-second period pushing into Noosa - First Point. It's got moderate wave energy (153), but the wind is offshore. A clean little wave for the beginners, but nothing to write home about. The water temp's sitting at 69°, which is nearly one and a half degrees cooler than average for this time of year, so you'll feel that chill.

Sunday morning the 5th drops off significantly to 2ft with a longer 11-second period, but cross-off winds won't help. By Sunday afternoon, the swell jumps to 6ft, but the period crashes to a jumbled 6 seconds with rain and fresh cross-off winds – that’s a pass.

The real action starts building through Monday, but it's still a bit raw with onshore wind. Tuesday, July 7th, is where it all turns on. We’ve got clean 7ft to 7ft SE swells with moderate energy (533) and solid offshore winds from the south all day. This is a proper step up. The waves will have some punch, definitely moving into the intermediate zone.

Then comes the standout window. Wednesday, July 8th, through to Thursday morning, July 9th. This is the best we're going to see. The point is pumping with a clean 7ft SE swell, a long 11-second period, and strong offshore winds. The wave energy is massive – over 1200! This is excellent, powerful groundswell for experienced surfers. The long period will groom it perfectly for the point, giving you long, open shoulders. If you can handle the size, this is world-class Noosa. The crowds at First Point are often thick, so expect plenty of company for these sessions.

Thursday afternoon holds up well, and Friday the 10th still has a decent 4ft SE swell with a 10-second period and morning offshores, but things are winding down.

After that, we hit a major lull. From Saturday the 11th right through until the 19th, the swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft and often less than 2ft, with poor wind directions. It’s a dead run for over a week. There's a final flicker on Sunday the 19th, with a late spike to 5ft SE swell and a 10-second period under clean, light winds. That one's promising but it's way out at the start of the second week, so keep an eye on it.

For the best bet, you lock in Wednesday and Thursday of next week. That's the one. Everything else is either flat or too small to bother.

Rusty signing off.

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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
