Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Noosa over the next couple of weeks.
For the most part, this is looking like a run for the experienced crew. We’ve got a solid stretch of surf coming through, but conditions are a bit mixed. Don’t get too excited early on – there’s nothing worth paddling out for until Monday the 6th, and even then it’s a big, raw 8 ft SE swell with short 7-second period and a fresh offshore wind. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is feeling pretty normal for this time of year.
The real standout is going to be Wednesday the 8th. Johnsons (Noosa – Johnsons) will be firing for the experienced surfer. Swell sizes are running 5 ft to 8 ft from the SE, but the period jumps to 12 seconds – proper groundswell. That longer period really cleans things up, giving you better-shaped waves and longer gaps between sets. The combined energy is strong at 1084, and we’ve got a moderate offshore breeze in the morning, keeping the faces glassy. This is a point break that loves this SE direction, so expect some long, workable walls. Thursday the 9th is also excellent, with 7 ft to 7 ft SE swell and 11-second period, plus consistent offshore winds.
After that, it drops off. Friday the 10th still has some fun 5 ft to 5 ft waves, but the energy weakens (388) and the wind goes cross-off. Saturday the 11th is small (4 ft) and clean early, but don’t expect much push. Then we hit a long quiet spell. From Sunday the 12th through to Thursday the 16th, it’s mostly tiny or onshore mush – nothing worth your time. There’s a faint pulse picking up again around Friday the 17th with 4 ft SE swell, but the period is short (7 seconds) and conditions are very ordinary.
The best bet by far is that Wednesday morning session. That’s your window.
Stay safe out there.
Rusty.
