The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Noosa.

This is a bit of a lean stretch to be honest. We've got a lot of days ahead with just small, weak dribble and the wind isn't doing us many favours. The water's sitting at about 69°, which is a touch cooler than we're used to for this time of year.

Looking at the whole 16-day run, there's no real standout session that'll get you scrambling for the board. The best we can hope for is a couple of mornings with some clean little waves. Most afternoons are getting chopped up by onshore breezes. The first week is pretty ordinary with a lot of poor surf conditions.

We’ve got a pretty blank run from now until the end of the first week. There’s a bit of a pulse around Sunday the 30th of August, with the swell jumping to 6 ft out of the SE, but that's packing a lot of wind energy with a short 7-second period and strong cross-off winds around 19 mph, making it a mess. That's probably more for the kite crew than a paddle surfer looking for a groomed wave.

Into the second week, we start seeing a few mornings that are surfable but very ordinary. September the 1st (Tuesday) morning has a tiny 2 ft of east swell with a 10-second period, but the wind is light cross-off, keeping it clean. The combined wave energy is weak (65). Not exactly a world-beater, but you could get a few close-outs.

By September the 6th (Sunday) morning, things finally look a bit more promising. We get glassy conditions with a light S wind, and a clean 2 ft swell. The period is short at 5 seconds, so it won't have much push, but for a learner at Noosa’s First Point, it’s the pick of the bunch for a long board or a soft top. The 8th of September (Tuesday) morning also offers clean 4 ft swell from the NE with a cross-off breeze, though the period is still short (7 seconds), making it a bit fat and slow.

Honestly, there’s nothing pumping on the horizon. Keep an eye on the glassy mornings, especially around the 6th and 8th of September, but don't get your hopes up for anything epic. It's a quiet period.

Rusty.
