The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s check out the waves for Noosa – First Point.
We’re starting off slow, but it’s a patient man’s game. The first few days are small and clean, but nothing to write home about. Wednesday morning the 5th of August kicks off with a glassy 3ft ESE swell, but the energy is only moderate at 172. You can get wet, but it’s not gonna blow your mind. Thursday and Friday stay small, mostly under 3ft, with decent wind, but the waves are just ticking over.
The first real quality window opens up on Sunday the 9th of August. That morning, the wind goes glassy, the swell hits 4ft from the east, and the period stretches to 9 seconds. The energy jumps to 247 (moderate) and the conditions are clean. For a point break like this, with offshore or glassy wind, it’ll be serving up some nice, rippable lines. The water temp is about 69°, which is a touch cooler than average for this time of year.
Monday and Tuesday drop back to smaller, more ordinary surf, but the winds stay favorable. Then things start to build around Thursday the 13th of August. The afternoon sees a 4ft SE swell with a longer 11-second period, and the energy climbs to 385 (moderate). The wind is cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. This is a step up.
The real standout is shaping up for Thursday the 20th of August. That morning, the forecast shows a 4ft SE swell with a 9-second period, the energy surges to 570 (strong), and the wind is a moderate offshore from the south. It’s the strongest, most consistent swell of the whole outlook, and the conditions are set to be clean. This is the one to circle on the calendar. That’s the best on offer across the whole 16 days – a solid, offshore groomed point break session. The swell direction is a bit east of the ideal, but it’ll still wrap in nicely.
The break is fairly consistent, and it’s a beginner-friendly spot, but it can get crowded often. Keep that in mind for the good days.
Later in the second week, around the 18th and 19th, there’s more moderate offshore wind and 4-4ft swell, but the energy is lower and the period is short (6-7 seconds), so it’s more ordinary. Still, clean conditions are on offer.
The long-range standout on the 20th is promising, but like all 2-week forecasts, it’s a bit less certain. Keep an eye on it.
Rusty.
