The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break it down. Rusty here.

This stretch at Noosa – First Point is looking pretty bare. The whole pattern is small, weak, and mostly wind-affected, so don’t expect much. There’s a gap at the start with nothing worth chasing, and the first few days are flat or just plain ugly.

The first chance for a surf is Friday morning, September 4th. We’ve got tiny 1ft easterly swell at 9 seconds, with only 48 units of energy. It’s glassy though, so if you’re itching for a paddle, it’ll be clean but with no power. That glassy calm is gone by afternoon when the NE wind picks up, cross-on, and it’s all over.

Saturday and Sunday, September 5th and 6th, are poor. The swell bumps a bit on Sunday morning to 3ft from the north, but the period is a short 5 seconds, and the wind is messy. Not worth wetting your suit.

Monday the 7th brings a little hope with a cross-off SSE wind in the morning, but the swell is still only 2ft from the northeast. Clean, but tiny. The energy is weak at 65.

The best of a weak bunch is Wednesday morning, September 9th. Glassy again, with 1ft SSE swell at 9 seconds, 60 units of energy. It’s very small, but if you’ve got a longboard, it’s the cleanest wave of the first week. That’s the only real highlight, and it’s not much.

Then we get a spike on Thursday afternoon, September 10th. The swell jumps to 8ft from the southeast, but the period is short at 7 seconds. The energy hits 669, which is strong, but the wind is a fresh SSE cross-off at 22 mph. That’s expert territory – too big for beginners, and with that wind, it’ll be a fight. The break is a point, so with a short period SE swell, it won’t line up well. This is more for kite-surfing than paddling.

Friday the 11th is still big, with 6ft SE swell and 358 energy, but still short period and windy. Clean but not good.

After that, it drops back to small and weak for the rest of the second week. Nothing stands out. The water temp is about average for this time of year at Noosa.

So the honest truth? There’s no real standout in this 16-day window. The only faint glimmer is Wednesday morning, September 9th, for a glassy, tiny longboard session. Everything else is poor or too blown out. It’s one of those quiet spells – don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
