The Lowdown

G’day, it’s Rusty here, and we’ve got a pretty interesting run ahead for the Noosa region. The first week is all about small, clean but ordinary waves, then the second week cranks up into real groundswell territory. Let’s get into it.

We kick off on Thursday, 6th August, and it’s pretty meek to start. Noosa First Point is seeing tiny 2ft swell from the ESE, with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is weak at just 95. The wind is light S at 3 mph, which is offshore, so it’s clean enough for a beginner to get a few soft ones, but honestly, it’s very ordinary. There’s a run of basically the same story through Friday and Saturday morning – 2ft to 3ft, clean with light offshore winds, but nothing to get excited about. The energy stays in the low 100s.

Then on Saturday afternoon, 8th August, things perk up a bit. The swell drops to 2ft, but the period jumps to 10 seconds and the combined energy hits 200 – that’s moderate energy now. The wind is cross-offshore from the ESE, so it’s clean. Not a standout, but a sign of life.

The first real standout arrives on Sunday morning, 9th August. The wind goes glassy – completely calm – from the ESE at 3 mph. The swell is 4ft from the east, with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is 259 (moderate). For a point break like Noosa First Point, that glassy surface is a huge positive. The waves will be clean, lined up, and perfect for a longboard or a funboard. This is the best of the first week, no question. Keep in mind, the optimum swell direction here is ENE, and we’re getting E, so it’s not perfect, but with glassy conditions, it’ll still be lovely. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

After that, Monday through Wednesday drops back into small, ordinary surf with the odd glassy morning but very little energy. The combined energy dips below 100 again – weak stuff.

Now, the real story starts on Thursday, 13th August. We get a big jump. The morning shows 8ft from the SSE with a short period of 7 seconds, but the combined energy is 541 (strong). The wind is S at 12 mph, solid offshore. This is clean, but the period is short, so it’ll be a bit crumbly. This is only for experienced surfers, as it’s over 5ft. The afternoon sees 8ft but the wind goes cross-offshore, so it’s less clean.

The absolute standout of the entire 16-day window is Saturday, 15th August, morning. We’re looking at a massive 13ft swell from the SE, with a very long period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy is a whopping 5664 (very strong). That’s a serious groundswell. The wind is SSE at 16 mph, strong offshore. This is exceptional – but only for expert surfers. At 13ft, it’s way beyond beginner territory. This is a point break, so it will handle that size and direction much better than a beach break. The long period (11 seconds) will give it real power and shape, but it’s going to be a heavy, bowl-type wave. The crowd profile at Noosa First Point is “often,” so expect crowds, especially on a Saturday. This is the one to circle – if you’re an expert, you’ll be frothing.

Sunday, 16th August, morning is still pumping with 8ft from the SE, 12-second period, strong offshore wind, and combined energy of 1546 (very strong). Excellent for experienced surfers, but still big. This continues through Monday, 17th August, with 7ft, 12-second period, and strong offshore wind. The energy stays high (1181). The surf is still solid and clean.

The swell starts to back off from Tuesday, 18th August, dropping to 4ft, and the energy falls to 447 (moderate). The wind is cross-offshore, so it’s clean but smaller. Wednesday, 19th August, is 4ft, and by Thursday, 20th August, we get a nice little pulse of 5ft from the ESE with a 12-second period, giving 556 energy (moderate) and clean cross-offshore winds. That’s a solid, fun day for intermediate surfers, but not a standout compared to the weekend.

The run ends on Friday, 21st August, with 4ft, 11-second period, 332 energy, and gentle offshore wind from the SSE. Clean, fun, but nothing special.

The gap: there’s no real gap with no surf – it’s just small and ordinary for the first few days, then it builds.

So, to sum it up: the best of the best is Saturday morning, 15th August, for experts only. The glassy Sunday morning, 9th August, is the pick for the first week for anyone who wants a clean, small wave.

Rusty.
