The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you: the next 16 days at Noosa – First Point are a bit of a waiting game. We’re not lining up any proper standouts, nothing that’ll have you racing for the car park with a goofy grin. The whole window is a long stretch of small, middling swell with a few windows of clean conditions. It’s mostly surfable but nothing to write home about. There’s a gap at the start, with nothing worth paddling out for until Monday the 3rd of August.
Let’s start with the first real recommendation. Monday the 3rd of August, early morning – we’ve got a clean set-up. The swell is a tiny 3 ft out of the SE, but the period is a nice 13 seconds, so there’s proper groundswell energy in the water – you can feel that in the combined energy (434). That’s actually moderate, even strong for the size. The wind is light from the SSE at 12 mph, cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. It’s small, but for a beginner-friendly point break like First Point, that’s fine. The water temp is 69°, which is about 1° cooler than normal for August – nothing to stress about, just a touch crisp.
The rest of the week just plods along. Tuesday morning the 4th has a glassy offshore from the south at 3 mph, but the swell drops to 2 ft with a short period of 9 seconds – it’s weak (131). Still clean, but very ordinary. Wednesday the 5th morning is glassy again (SW 3 mph), with a 3 ft easterly swell at 10 seconds, so a bit more shape, but the energy is only moderate (170). Nothing exciting.
We do get a slight bump on Thursday morning the 6th, with a clean 4 ft swell from the ENE and a 7-second period – that’s short-period wind swell, combined energy 156. It’s average. The SE cross-off will keep it tidy, but the short period means it won’t have much push.
The only day that really catches my eye is Sunday the 9th of August morning. The wind is dead calm – glassy as a lake – and the swell is 3 ft from the east at 9 seconds, combined energy 204. That’s the best wave quality in the whole run. Small, yes, but for a long point like Noosa, that’s fun, clean, rippable surf. If you’re free that morning, that’s your pick.
From there, it’s more of the same: small 2 ft to 3 ft easterly swells, mostly clean, but nothing with any real power. The combined energy sits between 94 and 196 – weak to moderate at best. The second week (from 10th August onward) is flat and uninspiring. Thursday the 13th has a moderate offshore from the south at 12 mph, but it’s only 3 ft, energy 123 – not worth a special trip. Sunday the 16th has a glassy afternoon (ENE 3 mph), again tiny 2 ft.
Honestly, if you’re after a proper session, keep an eye on the 9th of August morning. Otherwise, the next 16 days are more about a paddle and a trim than any real juice. Forecasts change, but right now it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
