The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’re looking at a pretty average run for Noosa - First Point over the next sixteen days. There’s no real fire in the ocean for a while, but a couple of mornings shape up as the best chances to get a wave. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is a touch colder than what you’d normally expect for this time of year, so grab a thicker spring suit if you’re heading out.
The first real window pops up on Wednesday the 16th, early. Winds go clean offshore from the SSE at 16 mph, with a small 2ft swell from the ENE at a short 6 seconds. The energy is weak at 46, so don’t expect much push, but it’ll be clean and surfable for the beginners and longboarders this place is known for. The crowds here are often, so expect company even on a small day.
Thursday the 17th morning is actually the standout of the whole period. You’ve got a moderate 7ft swell from the SE, but the period is still short at 8 seconds and the wind is fresh offshore from the SSE at 19 mph. The wave energy jumps to 618, indicating moderate to strong conditions. The direction is a bit east of the optimum ENE, but the offshore breeze will keep the point’s lines clean. That said, at 7ft, this is pushing into expert territory at First Point, especially with the short period making it a bit dumpy and harder to paddle into. It’s the best on offer for the skilled crew.
From Friday the 19th right through to Wednesday the 24th, the surf drops off hard. We’re talking tiny 1.0ft to 3ft stuff, mostly weak energy readings under 100, and winds turning onshore or cross-onshore. A couple of glassy mornings on Sunday the 20th and Saturday the 26th look pretty but the swell is barely there. It’s a long flat spell for the average punter.
Towards the end of the month, from the 24th onwards, the swell picks up again but the quality is still poor. Thursday the 24th afternoon sees a 5ft SE swell, clean but with moderate cross-offshore wind and energy of 226, but it’s marginal. The only half-decent last look is Wednesday the 30th morning: glassy conditions with a light NNE breeze, and a 4ft E swell at 7 seconds, energy at 139. It’s small and ordinary, but at least the wind won’t mess it up.
Overall, if you’re keen, hit Thursday the 17th early. It’s the one day with some power and clean conditions.
Rusty.
