G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Noosa – First Point over the next couple of weeks.

Right now, we’re in a bit of a flat spell. Monday the 13th of July starts off with tiny 2 ft swell from the ESE at 9 seconds, and combined energy is weak at 64. The morning has a light WSW breeze, cross-off, keeping things clean, but the waves are ordinary. The afternoon turns into a cross-on mess with a NE breeze – not worth paddling out for. The water is sitting at 69°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year.

Tuesday the 14th is even smaller, dropping to 1 ft, though the morning is glassy calm – no wind, beautiful. If you’re a beginner, it’s a fun little paddle, but the energy is only 41. By Wednesday the 15th we’ve got a moderate S offshore blowing at 12 mph, cleaning up the 1 ft leftovers, but it’s tiny. Thursday the 16th shows a jump: 7 ft from the SE, but short-period at 8 seconds, and combined energy is moderate at 570. The offshore SSE wind is fresh at 19 mph, so it’ll be clean but the period is short, making for lumpy, less powerful waves. It’s marginal for the average punter – might be pushy for beginners at over 5 ft, and the short period means it’ll be a bit of a battle.

The best of the first week comes in on the 19th of July (Sunday) and into Monday the 20th. We’ve got 10 ft of ESE swell, period 10 seconds, and combined energy is strong at 1853. That’s a proper groundswell with long period, ideal for Noosa’s point setup. The cross-off breeze from the SE (22 mph) will keep it clean, but that wind is strong – hold onto your board. For experienced surfers, this is the standout window. The 10-second period gives good shape and energy, and the ESE direction matches the optimum swell direction for First Point, so it’ll wrap in nicely. Crowds are likely here often, so expect company. The swell is over 8 ft, so experts only – the power will be significant.

After that, the swell slowly eases through the rest of the week. Tuesday the 21st still has 6 ft from the E at 9 seconds (529 energy), cross-off winds, but it’s dropping. By Friday the 24th, we’re down to 3 ft and 120 energy – ordinary again. Then Saturday the 25th is 2 ft with a light S offshore, clean but small. Sunday the 26th morning has a glassy WNW breeze, 3 ft, but the afternoon turns cross-on with NE wind – skip it.

Looking into the second week, Monday the 27th of July shows a small pulse: 4 ft from the E at 9 seconds, 251 energy, with a WSW cross-off in the morning. Clean, but nothing special. That’s the best of the late period – still a promise, but less certain at this range. The rest of the 28th fades to 3 ft.

So, the standout is undeniably the 19th and 20th of July – that 10 ft ESE groundswell with decent period and cross-off wind. Big, powerful, clean, and it’s gonna be a proper session at First Point. Get in early, because the crowds will be there.
