The Lowdown
Rusty here, checking the forecast for the next couple of weeks. The first real window is Wednesday morning, July 22nd. The water temp is about 69°, which is pretty standard for this time of year – no surprises.
Noosa – First Point is where it’s at. Wednesday morning is the clear standout. Expect solid chest-to-shoulder-high waves, pushing 6ft, coming from the east. The wind is a light SE cross-off at 6 mph, keeping the surface clean. The combined swell energy is substantial at 730 (moderate), so there’s plenty of power. It’s a fairly consistent point break, great for beginners, and that offshore wind is a major bonus. You’ll want to get in early because crowds are often a thing here. Sets will have a little gap between them with a 9-second period.
Thursday morning, the 23rd, is the second-best call. The swell drops to about 4ft, but the wind is glassy – a light SSW offshore at 3 mph. It’ll be smaller but silky smooth. Friday the 24th still has a clean offshore wind (S at 12 mph), but the size is down to 3ft. It’s surfable, but nothing special.
After Saturday, the surf fades quickly. From Monday, July 27th, things get tiny and weak, with energy readings dropping into the 20s. There’s a potential bump on August 6th, with a new SE swell and a light WSW cross-off, but the wave height is only around 2ft. It’s a long way out and looks pretty iffy.
Your best bet is Wednesday morning, the 22nd. Don’t miss it.
Rusty.

Information about the Noosa - First Point Surf forecast
