The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let’s break it down in feet and Fahrenheit.

It’s a bit of a mixed bag for the next couple of weeks. The first week or so is looking pretty ordinary, with small, gutless swell and tricky winds. We’ve got a few sessions that are surfable, but nothing to write home about until the very end of the month. Then, there’s a real spike on the 31st of August that’s got my attention.

Overall Pattern

The first few days are all about small, weak, short-period swell. The combined energy is low, mostly in the 100-150 range, which is pretty weak. The wind is mostly cross-off or cross-on, keeping things messy. The best of a mediocre bunch is the morning of Thursday, the 27th of August, when a moderate offshore from the south (12 mph) cleans up a 3ft E swell. The energy bumps up a bit to 215, and it’ll be clean. Not a stand-out, but a solid little session for the beginners.

Honestly, the real highlight is Monday, the 31st of August. The swell jumps to 6ft from the SE, with a punchy period of 6 seconds. The combined energy rockets up to 338, which is a solid, punchy little wave. The wind is light and cross-off from the SSE, keeping it clean. This is the best on offer, and it’s a good one. It’s a bit of a wait, but it’s worth it.

Noosa - First Point is a point break, exposed to the ENE swell, which is a good direction for it. The water is sitting at 68°, which is about 2° colder than usual for this time of year, so it’s a bit nippy. The Monday morning of the 31st is the standout, with that 6ft SE swell. It’s a bit short-period (6 seconds), so it won’t have the same grunt as a longer period swell, but it’ll be super clean and fun. There’s a smaller pulse on the 31st afternoon, 4ft, and that’s clean too. The crowds are often at First Point, so expect company.

After that, things drop off again. The first week of September is a write-off with tiny swell and onshore or cross-on winds, mostly weak and unrideable. There’s a long gap of poor conditions from the 1st of September all the way through.

So, to sum it up: the waiting game is on. The 27th of August is a decent little session, but the 31st of August is the real deal. Don’t get excited about the early September stuff; it’s a flat spell. Forecasts can change, but for now, pencil in the 31st.

Rusty.
