Alright, this is Rusty, and I've got my eyes on the local stretch. Let's break it down.
First up, we're looking at Noosa - First Point. The water is sitting at 69°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, but nothing wild.
The week kicks off with some decent energy. Thursday afternoon sees a 7ft SE swell, with a period of 11 seconds, and a solid moderate offshore breeze from the SSE. This is quality stuff, with a combined energy of 897 (moderate) – it's a good, clean start. Friday morning holds similar, with a 5ft SE swell and clean offshore winds, but the energy drops a touch to 714. The afternoon on Friday gets a bit messy with a cross-offshore wind, but the swell stays fun.
Saturday morning is the real standout early on. You've got a 4ft SE swell, with a light offshore breeze from the south. It's clean, the energy is 317, and it's just a beautiful morning for a point wave. Saturday afternoon is still clean, but the swell drops a touch.
Sunday is a write-off. The wind swings cross-on and the swell is tiny. Monday and Tuesday mornings are glassy, but the swell is barely there – 2ft and 1ft respectively. It's a real flat spell through the middle of the week.
Now, look ahead to the weekend of the 18th and 19th. The surf comes back to life, but it's a bit of a mixed bag. The 18th sees a 6ft SE swell with a long 14-second period, but the wind is a fresh cross-offshore. The combined energy jumps to 1222 (strong) – that's a lot of water moving. The long period is a treat for a point break like this, but the cross-off wind will have it a bit bumpy. The 19th drops back to 5ft, still with a long period, but it's cleaner.
But the real standout of the whole outlook is the morning of Monday, 20 July. This is where it all comes together. We've got a solid 6ft SE swell, with a 13-second period, and a clean, gentle offshore wind from the south. The combined energy is a massive 1110 (strong). The conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers, and I can see why. The 6ft is a bit much for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of time in the water, this is top-tier First Point. It's clean, it's got power, and the offshore wind will have the walls waving. The only downside? It's a fairly consistent spot, but crowds are often here, so get in early.
The energy holds through Monday afternoon, then fades again through the rest of the week.
So, to sum it up: the best of the bunch is Monday morning, 20 July. The secondary call is Saturday morning, 11 July, for a cleaner, smaller session. The real gap is from the 12th to the 18th, with a few days of flatness and then some bumpy, but powerful, swell.
