The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty here on the Sunny Coast. We've got a 16-day outlook that's a bit of a slow burner, so let's get straight into it.
We start off with next to no surf, so don't rush down to the beach. The first real signs of life show up on Sunday the 16th, but the conditions are messy. Most of the first week is a mix of small, weak swells and onshore winds, meaning you'll be scratching for a ride.
The one break in the forecast is Noosa - First Point. It's a dependable point break that's usually good for beginners. Water temps are sitting around 69°F, which is pretty standard for this time of year.
Your best shot, and the only true standout in the whole window, is going to be Sunday the 30th of August. Noosa - First Point is where you'll want to be. The swell will be a clean 3ft from the ESE with a 10-second period, carrying a moderate 343 units of wave energy. The real beauty here is the forecast of glassy conditions in the morning with a light SSW wind. That'll make the point as smooth as butter. It's a long way off, but if it comes together, it's the session to aim for.
Before that, you'll have to be patient. There are a few mornings with small, clean waves, like Thursday the 20th (3ft ESE, gentle breeze) and Tuesday the 25th (2ft, glassy), but the wave heights are tiny. It's more of a cruise on a log than a proper surf. The combined wave energy is well under 100 on those days, so it's weak. Most afternoons are plagued by rain and choppy cross-shore winds.
So to keep it simple: the first week and a half is slim pickings. Be patient, wait it out, and circle that Sunday the 30th on your calendar for a potential glassy, clean session at Noosa First Point. It's a promise, not a guarantee this far out, but it's the best we've got.
Rusty.
