The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Noosa – First Point over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week is a bit of a struggle. There’s a heap of energy on the water, but the quality just doesn’t line up. Thursday the 10th morning sees a 8ft southeast swell, but the wind is a fresh cross-offshore, and the combined energy is moderate (416). The afternoon pumps up to 10ft from the southeast, with serious power (1149), but it’s still marginal at best. Friday the 11th stays around 7ft, same direction, clean but with poor surf conditions. Saturday the 12th drops a notch to 6ft, still marginal. Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th are small and ordinary – under 5ft, with weak energy (156 and 95). The water temp is 70°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Now, the real standout is Saturday the 19th of September. Saturday morning is glassy – absolutely glassy – with a 10ft southeast swell and an 8-second period. The combined energy is pumping at 1238, strong and powerful. That’s expert territory, too big for beginners, but for experienced surfers this is the pick of the whole outlook. The wind is glassy, the swell direction is ideal for the point, and the crowds are often around, so you’ll want to be early. Saturday afternoon stays a solid 10ft but the wind picks up to a moderate cross-offshore, so the morning is the clear winner.
Sunday the 20th hangs in there with a 7ft swell from the ESE, moderate energy (519), and clean conditions. It’s a good follow-up session. The following week, Wednesday the 23rd afternoon shows a promising 5ft ESE swell with an 11-second period – that’s groundswell, good for the point, and the energy is moderate (512). The wind is light cross-offshore, so expect very good, clean waves. It’s still a bit over a week away, so keep an eye on it.
Between the 10th and the 18th, there’s a long stretch of nothing worth chasing. A few days of marginal surf, but nothing to get excited about. Then from the 19th onward, the quality comes back. The best of the best is Saturday the 19th morning – glassy, powerful, and clean. Don’t miss it.
Rusty.
