The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this stretch of the coast is looking pretty ordinary for a while. The swell that’s been coming through is weak and the energy is all over the place. We’ve got a few days of small, messy waves ahead. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real window of decent surf doesn't show until the weekend of the 15th and 16th. Saturday the 15th afternoon sees a push of short-period south-southeast swell, with the combined energy jumping to 232. It’s still a bit on the sloppy side, but Sunday morning the 16th looks better. The wind is offshore from the south-southeast, keeping the face clean, and we’ve got 5ft of south-southeast swell at 6 seconds. The energy is moderate at 206. It’s not epic, but it’s the first surfable option we’ve had in days.
The pick of the whole run, though, is the morning of Thursday the 20th. The swell has built back up to 5ft from the south-southeast, but the period is a touch longer at 8 seconds. The wind is proper offshore from the south, and the combined energy is strong at 374, which is the kind of juice that actually gets Noosa – First Point (Sunshine Coast) doing its thing. It’s a point break, so it handles the longer period well, and the offshore wind will have it glassy. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
Friday the 21st morning is another good one – similar story, 5ft from the east-southeast, offshore wind, strong energy at 380. It’s a close second, but the Thursday morning has slightly better swell direction matching the optimum. The weekend of the 22nd and 23rd fades out again, with smaller east swell and lighter winds, but nothing to get too worked up about. The long-range stuff for the 24th and 25th is smaller still, so don’t hold your breath.
Crowds are always a factor at First Point, so if you’re looking at the Thursday morning, expect it to be busy. Still, when the wind is offshore and the swell has that energy, it’s worth the paddle.
