Table - best surf conditions forecast for Noosa - Johnsons over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next stretch for Noosa – Johnsons.
Right, starting off on Friday the 10th of July afternoon you’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the SE with a 10-second period and a light cross-off breeze. Water temp’s about 69°F, which is a bit cooler than usual for this time – you’ll feel it. Moderate wave energy (451). This is a solid start.
Saturday morning the 11th is the pick: offshore wind out of the south, 4ft SE swell, light breeze, glassy peaks. The afternoon holds with a 13-second, 3ft ESE groundswell – longer sets, clean lines. Friday arvo and Saturday morning are the best bets.
Sunday the 12th gets cross-on winds and spoils it. From Monday the 13th through Wednesday the 15th the surf drops right off – nothing bigger than 2ft, not worth paddling out. That’s a three-day quiet spell.
Thursday the 16th morning jumps to 8ft SE swell, but the period is short at 7 seconds – short, dumpy energy. Strong cross-off winds and strong energy (634), but it’s marginal. Friday the 17th through Sunday the 19th stays in the 6ft to 8ft range, still short period, rain showers, and cross-off winds. This is big and rough – only for the experienced. Energy is strong to very strong (up to 937), but the short period kills the shape.
Monday the 20th eases to 6ft E swell with lighter winds – a step up in quality. The real calm spot is Wednesday morning the 22nd: glassy, 4ft ENE swell, no wind, clean and inviting. The second week has some size but the quality’s touch-and-go.
Your standout is Saturday morning the 11th – offshore, clean, and consistent. Don’t miss it.
Rusty out.
