G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at First Point, Noosa.
We’re looking at a pretty good run, but it takes a couple of days to really fire up. The first proper recommendation kicks off on Sunday, July 6th with a building swell, but the conditions are a bit messy with a fresh cross-offshore breeze. The energy is moderate at around 100, and the swell is a small 2ft from the ESE. Not the day to race down. Monday the 7th sees a jump to 8ft of SE swell, with a fresh offshore wind. The period is short, only 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and hard to line up. The energy is climbing to 747, but it’s more for the keen crew.
The real standout kicks off on Tuesday, July 8th. The morning has 7ft of SE swell with a moderate offshore breeze from the south – clean, lined-up waves. Energy is solid at 631 and the period stretches to 8 seconds, making for much better shaped waves. This is the pick of the early week: good for experienced surfers, with the point setting it up nicely. Wednesday the 9th afternoon is another highlight – 7ft of SE swell with a 12-second period, very long, pushing the energy up to 1309. That’s serious groundswell. The wind is moderate offshore, so expect clean, powerful lines peeling down the point. This is for comfortable intermediate and above surfers – the size and period mean the sets will be walled up but well-shaped.
As we move into the second week, the quality drops off. The water is probably around average for winter – no major anomaly flagged. By Saturday, July 12th, the morning shows a glassy 4ft of SE swell. The period holds at 11 seconds, so the waves will be clean, small, and fun for a longboard or a single fin. But after lunch on Saturday, the wind flips onshore, and it gets poor. From Sunday the 13th onwards, the swell fades hard. Sunday morning sees 2ft of SE swell, Monday has 2ft, and by Tuesday the 15th we’re down to 1ft. The energy drops below 100, and despite offshore winds, there’s simply not enough push. The rest of the period is a flat spell. There’s a small bump on Friday, July 18th with 4ft of short-period E swell and a cross-offshore wind, but the energy is only 113 and the period is a yawn-inducing 6 seconds. It’s ordinary at best.
Overall, the best windows are Tuesday through Thursday of the first week, with the absolute standout being Wednesday afternoon’s big, long-period groundswell. After that, we’re in for a long, quiet gap from around Saturday the 13th all the way to the end of the outlook. Keep your eye on the Tuesday-to-Thursday window – that’s your chance.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
