The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's heading to Noosa's First Point over the next couple weeks.
It starts off pretty quiet. Saturday the 12th has some waist-high + swell at about 5 feet from the ESE, but the wind’s blowing cross-off and the waves are a bit short-period and crumbly. The energy is weak (229). Okay for a beginner paddle but nothing special. Sunday fades fast and things get mediocre.
The real window opens mid-week. Thursday the 17th morning sees a solid 7 foot swell from the SE with an offshore S wind at 19 mph and a period stretching to 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 744 – solid, powerful stuff. It's clean, it's pushing, and it's for the experienced crew. Tide might be a factor but this is legit.
Hands down the best day is Friday the 18th morning. You'll get 7 foot of SE groundswell with a clean offshore wind (SSE at 16 mph), combined energy at 553, and a wave comment that says expect very good conditions. This is the one – clean, punchy, proper Noosa lines. Crowds are likely, so get there early.
After that, it fades. Saturday the 19th morning still has about 5 foot of ESE swell with light winds, but by afternoon and into the following week, it gets small and poor. From Sunday the 20th onward, look at a long run of tiny, choppy, or flat conditions until a minor bump on Thursday the 24th afternoon – but that's barely knee-high.
To sum it up: a slow start, one absolute standout on Friday the 18th with head-high+ clean waves, then a long dry spell. That’s the story.
Rusty.
