The Lowdown

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. We’re starting off pretty quiet. The first few days are small and messy, but there’s a bit of a pulse building for Monday the 3rd that has some real potential. After that, it fades right back out again for a long stretch.

The best surf of the whole window is on Monday morning, August 3rd, at Noosa – First Point. The swell is from the SE at 3ft, but it’s got some serious travel on it, a 13-second period, making it a proper groundswell. The combined energy hits 542, which is strong, and the wind is a gentle offshore from the SSE, keeping the lines clean. For a point break like this, that long period is going to stack up beautifully. Crowds are often an issue here, but for those waves, it’s worth sharing. The water temp is 69°, which is about 1° cooler than usual for this time of year, so not a big deal, just a touch fresh.

The afternoon of the 3rd fades a bit to 3ft and a 12-second period with energy dropping to 299, but still a solid afternoon session with cross-offshore winds.

The run-up to that is bleak. Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st only offer tiny, short-period junk around 2ft with moderate onshore winds. Sunday the 2nd bumps up to 5ft from the ESE, but the period is still a weak 7 seconds – that’s just wind chop, and the wind is cross-off, so not clean. The energy is moderate at 260 and 471, but it’s not going to be any fun.

After Monday, it’s a long, quiet stretch. From Tuesday the 4th right through to Thursday the 13th, the swell drops to tiny 1ft to 3ft stuff, mostly from the E or SE with short periods. There’s a brief moment on Tuesday morning the 4th with glassy conditions and a 3ft SE swell, but it’s so weak (energy 160) it’s barely a paddle. The rest of that week is a write-off.

The 14th of August shows a spike of 5ft from the N with a poor 6-second period, but the wind is cross and it’s rated marginal. That’s more of a kite-surfing breeze than a paddling wave.

So, bottom line: if you’ve got a board, your one and only standout is Monday morning, August 3rd, at First Point. Get in early, it’s the only real quality session in the whole 16 days. After that, it’s a long dry spell of tiny, tired waves.
