The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, checkin’ in from the Sunshine Coast. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Noosa over the next couple of weeks.

First thing’s first, we got a run of small, weak surf ahead. The next few mornings might look tempting if you’re a goofin’ around on a foamie, but honestly, for anyone after a proper wave, you’re gonna be waitin’. The swell energy is only sittin’ in the moderate range (around 127 to 129) for the Tuesday, but it’s comin’ from the east with a short 8-second period, so it’s pretty gutless. Tuesday afternoon gets messy with a cross-onshore breeze from the NE at 9 mph, so that’s a write-off.

Wednesday and Thursday stay tiny with that same east-northeast slop, swell height just 3ft to 3ft and energy droppin’ off into the weak zone (92 to 103). The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there – just your standard wetsuit-or-rashie call.

Now, Friday the 28th through Saturday the 29th, we see a bit of hope. The morning of Friday 28th has clean conditions with a light off-shore breeze from the SSE at 9 mph, and the swell stays at 3ft from the east, period still short at 8 seconds. It’s not gonna blow your mind, but it’s surfable. Energy levels are 126 for Friday morning – moderate stuff. Saturday 29th sees a bump in swell height to 4ft by the afternoon, but the wind gets funky – a fresh 19 mph cross-off shore on Sunday morning with a 5ft south-east swell, but the period drops to a terrible 6 seconds. That’s a choppy, lumpy mess.

The big standout in this whole outlook is Tuesday the 1st of September. We finally get a window of proper surf. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the east, period still short at 6 seconds, but combined energy jumps to 228 – that’s solid moderate energy. Wind is light from the SE at 9 mph, conditions are clean, and First Point (Sunshine Coast) is exposed to that east swell direction, which is right on the money for the optimum ENE. This is the best on offer, no question. It’s still a beachbreak-style setup at the point, but the clean conditions and that bit of push make it worth paddlin’ out. Short period means the sets will be frequent, so you won’t be waitin’ forever.

From Wednesday the 2nd it fades again, back into the 4ft to 4ft range but with onshore winds and cross-chop. The second week is pretty quiet. There’s a few mornings like Friday the 4th with a glassy 3ft east swell and energy down to 99 – weak stuff, but if you’re desperate, you could get a slide. The rest of the run into the 9th is mostly small, onshore, and forgettable.

So to wrap it up: don’t hold your breath for this week. If you really wanna score, pencil in Tuesday morning the 1st of September. That’s your best window. The rest of it is small, weak, and mostly blown out.

Stay tuned, the forecasts can always flip.
