The Lowdown

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s shaping up. First up, it’s a pretty quiet patch for Noosa – First Point over the coming days. The swell sticks around 3ft to 4ft for most of the first week, mostly from the east or east-northeast with periods sitting in the 7 to 8 second range, so short period, weak energy. The combined swell energy reads mostly between 119 and 199 (weak to moderate) – nothing to get too excited about. Winds are mainly cross-off or cross-onshore, so the waves will be clean enough but very ordinary.

The water temperature is sitting at 68°, which is about 2° cooler than average for this time of year – a bit nippier than usual.

From Sunday 23 August afternoon through to Saturday 30 August morning, it’s mostly surfable but nothing special. The standout – if you can call it that – is Thursday 27 August morning. The wind goes offshore from the SSE at 25 km/h, and the swell is 3ft from the east with an 8-second period. The combined energy bumps to 190 (moderate). It’s clean, but the size is small and the period is short, so it’ll be fun for beginners but not much push.

There’s a gap from around 31 August Monday afternoon through to 1 September Tuesday morning where things get a little more interesting. On Tuesday 1 September morning, the swell picks up to 4ft from the east with a 7-second period and combined energy of 228 (moderate). Wind is light from the southeast at 10 km/h, cross-off, clean. That’s the best on offer. But honestly, it’s still small and the short period means it won’t have much shape – likely a bit dumpy.

After that, from Wednesday 2 September morning, we get a glassy morning with the wind going east at 5 km/h – dead calm. Swell is 3ft from the east-northeast, 8-second period, combined energy 175 (moderate). Clean, small, probably only worth a paddle if you’re desperate.

Then the bottom falls out. From Thursday 3 September right through to Monday 7 September afternoon, the swell drops to 3ft and smaller, winds go onshore or cross-onshore from the north and northeast, and combined energy drops below 100 (weak). That’s a solid 4-5 day stretch of nothing. Poor conditions, tiny waves.

In summary: the first week has small, short-period, clean but ordinary surf. The only real highlight is the morning of Tuesday 1 September – if you’re keen on a small-wave session with clean lines. After that, it’s a long dry spell. No big swell, no long-period groundswell, no standout. Just a quiet run for Noosa.
