The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty.
Alright, let’s look at this 16-day stretch for Noosa’s First Point—and honestly, it’s a tough one. There’s no real juice for the first week. We start Monday the 7th with tiny 1ft to 2ft from the NE/ENE, combined swell energy barely hitting 47 to 67 (weak). The water’s sitting at 70°F, which is dead average for this time of year—nothing out of the ordinary. Tuesday the 8th is similar, with 2ft to 2ft of messy short-period stuff, and the wind picks up to 15 mph that arvo, making it feel like a waste of time.
By Thursday the 10th, we get a jump to 8ft from the SSE, but with 22 mph winds and a period of only 6 seconds, it’s a blown-out, lumpy mess. Combined energy hits 450 (moderate), but surf quality is poor. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th hang around 6ft to 7ft, still cross-off with fresh breezes over 15 mph, and it’s all marginal. By Sunday the 13th, the swell drops to 3ft to 4ft, with lighter winds, but still nothing special.
The second week is even grimier. From the 15th through the 22nd, we’re looking at 1ft to 4ft of weak, short-period slop, mostly onshore or cross-on winds, with periods as low as 5 seconds. Combined energy stays under 100 most days. The 18th offers a bump of 6ft from the SE, but with cross-shore breeze and a 7-second period, it’s not clean.
The one possible highlight? The morning of Thursday the 10th—8ft, cross-off wind, clean. But that short 6-second period means it’s punchy and walled-up, more for experienced surfers who can handle some power. Beginners, steer clear of anything over 5ft here. For most of the window, you’re better off staying home or waiting for a better forecast.
Rusty.
