Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming our way for Noosa – First Point.

Alright, we've got a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks. The early part of the week is looking pretty average, but there's some serious potential brewing for the end of the week and into the weekend. We're mainly looking at a solid SE swell direction, which is the sweet spot for the Point.

The water's currently sitting at 69°, which is about normal for this time of year. Nothing unusual there.

Monday 6th and Tuesday 7th are pretty much write-offs. We've got a decent 8ft to 7ft swell on the cards, but the wind is howling from the SSE at 19 to 22 mph. It's offshore, so it's clean, but the overall wave energy is just moderate (between 694 and 911), and the period is a short 8 seconds. It's a bit of a messy, fat lump that just won't have much punch. The forecast calls it "marginal," and I'd agree. It's not worth the paddle.

Wednesday 8th is where things start to get interesting, but it's still not quite there. The swell hangs around 8ft to 8ft from the SE, but now the period jumps up to 11 and 12 seconds. The energy ramps up massively – we're talking 1656 and 2687 (moderate to strong energy). The wind is still a fresh 19 mph offshore, so it's clean but a bit onshore in feel. That long period will make for some proper lines, but with that much wind, it’s going to get a bit lumpy. It's a tease of what's to come.

Now, Thursday 9th and Friday 10th – this is the pick of the bunch. Thursday morning will see a solid 8ft SE swell with an 11-second period and moderate 16 mph offshore wind. The energy is strong (2061) and the conditions are classified as "excellent." For a more experienced surfer, this is going to be pumping. Friday morning eases a little to 6ft SE with a 10-second period, but the wind drops to a nicer 12 mph. It'll be cleaner and more manageable.

This is your window. Thursday morning will be the standout if you've got the skills for a bigger, powerful board. It's a touch over 8ft, so it's for the experienced crew only, but the long period means long, grinding walls down the point. It'll be clean and powerful. Just expect that crowds are likely, as Noosa always is.

Saturday 11th is a nice comedown. Swell drops to 4ft, the wind is light, and the energy is weak (262). It's still clean and good for a longboard.

Then we hit a significant gap. From Sunday 12th right through to Thursday 16th, the surf falls away to almost nothing. We're looking at flat, small, or messy conditions with poor energy levels. It's a real lull.

Things start to stir again on Friday 17th and into the weekend. A new pulse of short-period SE swell builds – 5ft to 8ft – but the period is a woeful 6 to 7 seconds and the wind comes onshore again. It's going to be a messy, choppy mess. Not worth your time.

The window opens again on Sunday 19th afternoon. We see a 6ft ESE swell with an 8-second period and a light offshore wind (6 mph - SSW). The energy is moderate (534) and conditions look "very good". It'll be cleaner and more fun than what's been around.

Monday 20th offers a small, cleaner 5ft wave from the east with a gentle offshore. A good mellow session for the longboard.

After that, the trend fades out again into small, weak surf from Tuesday 21st onwards.

So, the long and short of it: Thursday 9th and Friday 10th are your best bets for real, quality waves. The first week is a bust, and the second week offers a brief window on the 19th and 20th. Keep an eye on the longer-range forecasts for that Sunday, but for now, plan on next Thursday.

Rusty.

Information about the Noosa - First Point Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Noosa - First Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Noosa - First Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Noosa - First Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Noosa - First Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Noosa - First Point may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
