Table - best surf conditions forecast for Noosa - Johnsons over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Johnsons at Noosa – a classic point break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the swell. It’s an intermediate spot, and crowds are often a thing here. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing out of the ordinary.
We’ve got a run of solid surf starting right now. Thursday morning (9 July) is the pick of the whole outlook: a clean 6.6 ft SE swell rolling in at 11 seconds, with a moderate offshore breeze out of the south at 16 mph. The combined energy is pumping at 1253 – that’s some proper grunt. It’s excellent surf for experienced surfers, so if you’ve got the skills, get out there early. The swell direction is a touch south of the optimum ENE, but the point handles it well. Thursday afternoon drops off a bit and gets a cross-off wind, so the morning is the clear winner.
Friday morning (10 July) is another standout – 6.2 ft SE, 10 seconds, and a clean offshore SSE breeze at 12 mph. Energy sits at 1209, still strong. The afternoon brings rain showers but the wind stays offshore, dropping to 4.3 ft – still good fun for the intermediate crew. Saturday morning (11 July) is smaller at 3.6 ft but glassy with a light SSW offshore at 6 mph. It’s a softer day, but clean. Saturday afternoon goes cross-shore and the swell fades.
Sunday (12 July) turns ugly – cross-onshore wind, poor conditions, not worth your time. Monday (13 July) is tiny and glassy in the morning, but only 2.0 ft – not really enough to get excited about. Tuesday through
