The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Things are looking pretty heavy at Noosa – First Point for a few days, but you’ve gotta pick your moments. The ocean’s got some serious energy, but it’s not gonna be a walk in the park.
Right now, starting Sunday the 19th of July, we’ve got a solid pulse of swell rolling in, but it’s coming with a lot of wind. The water’s sitting at about 69°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. That first swell is a big one – around 13ft from the SE – but with a screaming 28 mph SSE wind, it’s going to be a battle. The combined energy is massive at 3822, so there’s plenty of power, but it’s a beast for experts only. The wind is blowing offshore, so the face will be clean, but paddling into that is going to be a real mission. Monday the 20th is more of the same: 13ft and 12ft swell, still strong wind, and the energy is still in the thousands. It’s gnarly out there.
The standout for me? You’ve gotta wait until Wednesday morning the 22nd of July. The swell drops to a more manageable 6ft from the E, with a light 6 mph cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is down to 532, which is still solid, and the period is a nice 9 seconds. It’s not the biggest, but it’s going to be much cleaner and more makeable. That’s the best window for a decent session without getting pounded.
Then Thursday morning the 23rd is a real gem. The wind goes completely glassy – 0 mph – and the swell is a clean 4ft from the E. The energy is low at 207, but those conditions are about as pure as it gets. If you want a cruisy, clean wave, that’s the moment. After that, the swell starts to fade and the quality drops off.
By Friday the 24th and into the next week, it gets small and inconsistent. The energy drops into the double digits, and we’re looking at 1.0ft to 2ft waves for days. There’s a long stretch from around the 24th of July right through to the end of the month where it’s really marginal. The wind flips around a bit, but the swell just isn’t there. Even the glassy mornings on the 31st of July and 3rd of August are only showing tiny 2ft or 0.3ft waves. The period gets long on the 3rd of August – 13 seconds – but with only 0.3ft, it’s barely a ripple.
So, the call is: get out there Wednesday and Thursday of the coming week. After that, it’s a long, flat spell. For a beginner, anything over 5ft is too much, and we’ve got plenty of that early on, so stick to the smaller windows. The 23rd of July morning is the absolute best for a clean, glassy, easy-going session.
