The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Noosa – First Point.
Right now, we’re in a bit of a flat spell. The first couple of days are tiny and messy, nothing worth paddling out for. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th have barely any push, with combined swell energy sitting around 42 to 72 – that’s weak. Winds are cross-offshore but the swell is just too small to get excited about.
Things start to look a little more promising from Wednesday the 9th. We get a bump up to 4 ft from the SE on Wednesday morning, with a period of 9 seconds and combined energy hitting 188 (moderate). Winds are light cross-off, so it’ll be clean but pretty ordinary. Wednesday afternoon drops off. Thursday the 10th morning has a tiny 1.0 ft with offshore wind, but that’s not enough to ride. Then Thursday afternoon gets wild – 10 ft from the SE, but with a short 8-second period and strong cross-offshore winds at 25 mph. That’s a lot of water moving around, with combined energy at 1199 – strong. This is big and chunky, definitely expert-only territory, and the short period will make it a bit of a bumpy mess. Not the clean, lined-up waves Noosa is known for.
Friday the 11th holds 7 ft from the SE, but again short period (7-8 seconds) and moderate cross-off winds. The energy is strong (507) but the quality is marginal. Saturday the 12th drops to 6 ft, still short period, still cross-off. It’s surfable but far from ideal. Sunday the 13th is similar at 5 ft.
Now, here’s where we get a standout. Monday the 14th morning: 5 ft from the ESE, 6-second period, but combined energy is 322 (moderate) and the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” Winds are gentle cross-off, and the setup at Noosa – First Point is a point break that handles longer period swell beautifully. The direction (ESE) is a touch off the optimum (ENE) but still works well here. This is the best on offer in the whole outlook – clean, fun-sized waves with a little push. It won’t be huge, but it’ll be rideable and consistent for a good session.
After that, the following week fades fast. Tuesday the 15th morning has 2 ft with glassy conditions (NNE 3 mph) but it’s tiny. Thursday the 17th morning also has glassy conditions and 2 ft, but again small. From the 18th onwards, it’s back to tiny, weak, and mostly onshore or cross-on. The second week is a write-off – you’re looking at days of flatness and poor conditions.
Overall, the best bet is Monday the 14th morning. That’s your window. Not a classic Noosa day, but the most rideable and cleanest of the bunch. If you’re a beginner, the 5 ft is fine – it’s not too big. For everyone else, it’s a solid, fun session without the chaos.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
