The Lowdown

G’day, it’s Rusty.

Alright, let’s be straight with you. The next week and a half is pretty average. We’ve got waves, but they’re small and the winds are all over the shop. The strong stuff is a long way off, but it’s looking mighty promising.

The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is about normal for this time of year, nothing wild there.

Now to the details.

Starting with Noosa – First Point (Sunshine Coast) this Friday morning (7th August). It’s tiny, around 3ft, with a weak east swell (99). The wind is light offshore though, so it’ll be clean, just small. The energy is weak, so it’s a longboarder’s wave. Saturday (8th) is similar, 3ft, but the energy picks up a touch (121). It’s still clean with the light southerly.

Sunday (9th) morning is the pick of this first patch. The swell bumps to 3ft from the east (215), and it’s glassy. That’s your window for a proper surf, but it’s still small.

From Sunday afternoon through to the 15th, it gets messy and weak. Monday (10th) sees a 12 mph NW wind chunking it up. Tuesday (11th) is cross-on. Wednesday (12th) is a write-off with a 22 mph north wind. The swell drops right off on Thursday and Friday, with the energy falling to 52 and 56. It’s tiny and junky. This patch of poor, weak surf runs from Sunday afternoon all the way through to the following Saturday morning (15th). That’s a long, flat spell.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The outlook for the long range has some serious grunt coming.

On Monday the 17th of August, we see a jump in size but it’s a bit of a mess. 6ft from the SE with a short 6-second period (289). Combined with a fresh 19 mph south wind, it’ll be raw. Not great for the point.

Then we get to Tuesday the 18th of August. The swell builds to 8ft from the ESE with an 8-second period, and the energy is strong (613). The wind is a solid offshore 16 mph. This is the standout. A proper pulse of east-southeast swell hitting a clean, offshore point. It’ll be solid and powerful. This is your one to circle on the calendar.

Wednesday (19th) sees the swell push up to 10ft, but the period is still short (9s). The wind is a 19 mph cross-offshore, and the energy explodes to 1368 and then 1937. This is a big, raw, messy swell. For a beginner, this is too much; for experts, it’s getting serious.

By Thursday the 20th, the swell is still 10ft but the period is lengthening to 10 seconds, and I’m seeing the energy hit 3550. That’s very strong. It’s still cross-off, which is okay, but this is a beast. At this size, and with that energy, it’s not ideal for the point – it’ll be closing out. It’s more of a spectacle than a surf.

Heading into the following week, the swell eases. On Saturday the 22nd, we’ve got 6ft from the E with a 12-second period and a gentle offshore. That’s a much cleaner, more manageable size, and the longer period will groom it.

So, the call is this: don’t hold your breath for this weekend or the next week. The one to watch is Tuesday the 18th. That’s the day the East Coast gets the juice. After that, it’ll be big and tricky for a few days, before settling into a better-shaped 6ft on the 22nd. Keep it salty.

Rusty.
