Righto, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Noosa.
We've got a bit of a slow start, but the picture really comes together later. The first proper surf you'll want to pencil in is the Saturday morning of the 11th of July. Noosa’s First Point is the only spot we're looking at, and it’s a classic point break, so it handles the swell well. The water’s sitting at 69°, which is a touch colder than we’d normally expect for this time of year.
That Saturday morning is the pick of the early days. We've got a clean little 3ft swell coming from the southeast with an 11-second period – that's got some energy behind it (combined energy of 317). The wind is light and offshore from the south, which should have the waves holding up nicely. It’s a beginner-friendly wave here, but just a heads up, it can get busy; crowds are a bit of a thing at this break.
The rest of that weekend and into the following week is pretty average. We get some glassy conditions on Monday the 13th of July, but the swell drops out to just 2ft, so it’s going to be tiny and weak (energy down to 64). You'll see a real gap in quality surf for a few days after that.
Then things get interesting, but only for the experienced crew. From Thursday the 16th of July through to Sunday the 19th, a solid south-easterly swell pushes through. Thursday morning sees 10ft of swell, but the real standout is Sunday the 19th of July morning. The swell is still a chunky 8ft, coming from the ESE with an 11-second period, and the wind is blowing offshore from the SSE. The combined energy is massive at 1511. This is excellent surf, but make no mistake, at 8ft and over, Noosa First Point is for experts only. It is going to be powerful and clean.
The following week settles down a fair bit. Monday the 20th of July morning is a nice option for the intermediate surfer, with a clean 6ft ESE swell and a moderate offshore breeze (combined energy of 632). The surf is still fun into Tuesday the 22nd of July morning, with another clean 4ft swell and a longer 12-second period coming from the ESE – that’s a nice little groundswell (combined energy of 545). Things wind down after that, dropping back to small, ordinary surf by the 26th of July.
So, if you’re a beginner, your best bet is that Saturday morning. For the experienced surfer, the Sunday the 19th of July is the one to circle on your calendar. It’s a real ripper, but only if you’ve got the skills to handle it.
Rusty.
