The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the next stretch for Noosa – First Point. It’s a pretty quiet start, but there’s a little pulse of something decent further down the track.
The early days are a write-off, honestly. Friday the 4th and the weekend into early next week are flat or tiny, with messy wind. Friday afternoon has a tiny 1ft easterly bump but that cross-on NNE breeze at 9 mph kills it. The water’s sitting at 69°, which feels a bit colder than usual for this time of year, a touch over a degree off the norm. Saturday and Sunday are just as poor, with onshore nor’easters piling in. You’ll be waiting.
Then Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th clean up a little – cross-off SE winds clean the surface, but the swell’s only 1ft to 2ft from the northeast. Not enough to get excited about, just a grovel.
Now, Wednesday morning the 9th is the real standout. The SE swell jumps to 4ft with a 10-second period, and the combined energy hits 378 – that’s moderate energy, but it’s the first real pulse. The wind is a light SE breeze, clean and cross-off, so First Point will have some fun little waves. It’s a beginner-friendly point break, fairly consistent, but it can get crowded, and the optimum swell direction is ENE, so this SE swell is a little off-angle, but still, clean conditions and waist-high waves make for a good session.
Thursday the 10th morning has a small 2ft SE swell with a light offshore SSE breeze – clean but tiny. The energy is weak at 92. Then it gets weird Friday the 11th with a 7ft SE swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds, and the wind is a fresh 22 mph SE cross-off. That’s too much wind and a bit too much size for First Point, more for the experts or maybe kite surfers.
After that, the 14th and 15th look promising. Monday the 14th afternoon sees a 6ft SE swell (energy 257) with clean ESE cross-off wind, and Tuesday the 15th morning pushes 6ft from the SE with 343 energy and a light SE breeze. These are solid waves for First Point – over 5ft so maybe too big for beginners, but for experienced surfers, clean lined-up waves. The second week is less certain, but this is the real window.
The rest of the second week has a few smaller, clean days, but nothing to get the heart racing. The 16th onwards drops back to small stuff with fresh southerly winds.
Overall, the best bet is Wednesday the 9th for a clean, fun beginner session, and then Monday 14th afternoon through Tuesday 15th morning for the best size and clean conditions. Crowds are likely at the Point, especially on those better days.
Rusty.
