The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up for Noosa’s First Point. The next few days are pretty ordinary—small, weak, and not much to get excited about. But there’s a glimmer of hope later on, so let’s break it down.

We’re starting off with some small, cross-off sou’east wind swell. The energy’s weak—only 182 (moderate wave energy) on Sunday morning, and it’s a short-period 5ft from the ESE with a 6-second period. Those winds are a cross-off, but the combo of short period and modest size means it’s pretty average. Think poor surf conditions right through Sunday and into Monday. Monday morning’s 3ft E swell with a 6-second period and light cross-off breeze is surfable, but very ordinary.

Tuesday the 15th looks like the first real window to paddle out. Glassy conditions in the morning thanks to 3 mph easterly winds—perfect, clean waves. Swell drops to 3ft from the east, 6-second period, and energy’s only 60 (weak). It’s small, but if you’ve got a log and you’re keen for a few soft peelers, that’s your call. The afternoon turns cross-onshore, so get in early.

Wednesday the 16th gets interesting for a moment—afternoon has a 7ft SE swell with a 6-second period and 296 energy (moderate wave energy), but strong cross-off winds (25 mph) make it messy. Not worth it. Thursday morning, the 17th, we see a 7ft SE swell with a longer 9-second period, clean offshore S wind at 19 mph, and solid energy (710, strong). This is *marginal* due to tide or other factors, but for an experienced surfer, the length of period and clean offshore wind could make for some decent waves. Expect bigger sets and long lulls.

Now, the standout. Saturday the 19th morning – this is the one to circle. Glassy conditions—3 mph NE winds—and a 5ft SE swell with a *12-second period* (that’s a proper groundswell). The energy is 556 (strong). For a point break like First Point, that long period and clean glassy morning will deliver smooth, lined-up waves. The water temp is about average for this time of year. Crowds? Yeah, First Point often gets busy, but on a glassy Saturday morning with that quality, you’ll be sharing it with plenty of locals and visitors.

We then hit a quiet patch from the 20th through to the 23rd—small, poor energy, onshore winds. A real lull. Then Thursday the 24th sees a 7ft ESE swell with 473 energy (moderate wave energy) and cross-off winds—but it’s marginal again.

The second week’s best chance is Friday the 25th – morning sees a 7ft E swell (8-second period, 516 energy – strong) with clean 9 mph ESE winds. This is forecast to produce *very good* surf conditions. It’s solid, clean, and lined up. A proper session for the intermediate surfer, and if you’re a beginner, keep in mind 7ft is getting up there. The energy is strong, so expect punchy waves.

From the 26th onwards, things settle back into the 4ft to 6ft range with clean cross-off winds and moderate energy. The 28th Monday morning looks like a nice clean 4ft ENE swell with 243 energy (moderate) and a gentle breeze—good for a longboard session.

So, to sum it up: the best on offer is Saturday the 19th morning for the glassy, long-period groundswell and clean conditions, with Friday the 25th morning as another strong session for bigger waves and clean winds. Everything else is pretty average or marginal.

Rusty.
