The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next 16 days for Noosa – First Point. Right now, it’s a pretty quiet stretch, with nothing much happening for a long time. The first few days are a write-off—poor conditions and tiny swell mean you’re not missing a thing. You’ll be sitting on the sand watching the flat spell roll through.

The water temp is sitting at 68°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want that extra rubber if you’re heading out.

There’s a long gap here with no real surf on offer until we get towards the second week. Thursday morning the 13th of September finally shows some life. Early doors it’s glassy with a 5ft swell out of the ENE, period at 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate (236). That morning window is the standout—clean, glassy conditions with a long-period groundswell pushing in. For a point break like First Point, that long period will give you proper, lined-up waves, though it could be a bit straight at the bank. It’s a beginner-friendly spot and fairly consistent, but crowds are often here, so expect company.

The real highlight, though, comes a few days later. Thursday morning the 17th of September, you’ve got a 5ft E swell with a 9 mph offshore SSE wind, glassy clean conditions. The combined energy jumps to 274 (moderate to strong). That’s the best session in the whole window—clean, offshore, and a decent push of swell. It’s in the expert range height-wise at 5ft, so it’s not for beginners, but for the crew who know what they’re doing, that morning is the one to circle.

Other than that, the week before and after is mostly ordinary—small swell, onshore winds, or chop. The 13th morning and the 17th morning are your two true standouts. The rest is a waiting game.

Signing off,
Rusty
