The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's look at what's coming up for the next 16 days at Noosa - First Point.

The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual. The overall pattern is a slow start, with a lot of small, ordinary surf before we get a few cleaner windows around the end of August and start of September.

The first few days from Saturday, 22 August through to Wednesday, 26 August are pretty flat and forgettable. The swell is hanging around 3 ft to 4 ft from the east, with periods around 7 to 8 seconds, so it's weak, short-period windswell with combined energy in the low to mid 100s (114 to 141). Winds are light to gentle, but the quality is just "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." Not worth getting excited about.

Then we get a shift. Thursday, 27 August morning looks like the first real standout. The swell picks up to 3 ft from the northeast, period jumps to 10 seconds, and combined energy is up to 276 (moderate). The wind is from the south at 6 mph, clean offshore, and the report says "expect good surf conditions." This is the best call in the first week. The NE swell is a good match for the break's optimum ENE direction, and the longer period will give the waves more punch. It's not huge, but it'll be clean and fun for a beginner-friendly point break.

The following Friday and Saturday mornings continue the trend with clean conditions, similar swell heights around 3 ft to 4 ft from the east, and periods around 8 seconds. Friday, 28 August morning has a south-southeast wind at 9 mph, keeping it clean, and combined energy around 242. Saturday, 29 August morning is similar with south-southeast wind at 6 mph, energy at 245. Both mornings are good options, but Thursday morning is the pick.

Then from Sunday, 30 August afternoon, things get messy. The wind swings to the east-southeast and picks up to 12 mph, the swell jumps to 6 ft but with a poor period of 6 seconds, and combined energy spikes to 322, but the quality is marginal. By Monday, 31 August, it's a write-off with heavy rain, strong onshore winds, and a messy 5 ft to 5 ft swell. The energy is up to 579 (strong), but the conditions are poor. For a point break, the short period and strong cross-onshore winds mean it's a blown-out mess – might be better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The forecast for the first few days of September is a real mixed bag. Tuesday, 1 September is still poor with onshore winds. Wednesday, 2 September morning shows a glimmer with 6 ft swell from the east, period of 7 seconds, and a clean south-southeast cross-offshore wind at 9 mph. Combined energy is 463 (strong). The report says "expect good surf conditions." That's a big swell for a point break, over 5 ft, so it might be pushing it for beginners, but it's clean and the energy is solid. The window is short though, as the wind turns to 22 mph that afternoon.

After that, from Thursday, 3 September through to the end of the forecast, it's all downhill. The swell stays around 5 ft to 6 ft but with strong onshore winds and rain, making it a no-go. The last few days from Saturday, 5 September show a drop back to small, clean swell around 2 ft to 3 ft, but by then the energy is low.

So, the best surf is on Thursday, 27 August morning, with a solid 3 ft NE groundswell and clean offshore winds. The Friday and Saturday mornings of that week are also good runners-up. The big Wednesday, 2 September pulse is a wildcard – clean but big. Don't hold your breath for the rest.

Rusty.
