Table - best surf conditions forecast for Noosa - First Point over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here. Let's talk about Noosa's First Point in feet and miles an hour. The next couple weeks have a few good windows but plenty of flat spells too.
This Wednesday morning (July 8) we've got a 6ft SE groundswell at 12 seconds, with 1123 energy units. Wind is a fresh offshore from the SSE, around 19 mph – clean but gusty. That afternoon the swell pumps up to 8ft, energy 1525, but the wind goes cross-off, so the point gets a bit bumpy.
Thursday morning (July 9) is the pick. Swell 7ft SE, 11 seconds, moderate offshore from the south (16 mph), energy 1568 – that's heavy. First Point will have some proper power. It's over 5ft, so not for beginners. Friday morning (July 10) is almost as good: 7ft SE, 10 seconds, offshore winds, 1310 energy.
Saturday morning (July 11) goes small at 4ft SE, 10 seconds, but the wind is glass – dead calm. That'll be silky smooth, great for a log. Energy only 353, but conditions are pure.
Then the bottom falls out. From Saturday afternoon through to the following Thursday (July 16), it's tiny – 1ft or less, with energy in the single digits. Clean but flat – a good week for other hobbies.
A minor pulse arrives on July 17 (Friday): 5ft SE but only 8 seconds – windswell. Morning offshore wind (16 mph) helps keep it clean, but energy is only 279. Saturday (July 18) is 5ft SSE with 6-second period – that's just messy.
Around July 19–21 we get 5–6ft ESE with 7-second period, offshore winds, energy around 230–296. Clean but short-period – not much shape, more of a bumpy wall.
Best bets are Thursday and Friday morning (July 9 & 10). After that, you'll be waiting. Don't hold your breath on the long-range stuff – it's iffy.

Information about the Noosa - First Point Surf forecast

A general guide to surfing at Noosa - First Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.
