The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's break down what's happening at Noosa – Johnsons over the next couple of weeks. It's a point break that fires pretty consistently, exposed to an ENE swell, and it's best for intermediate surfers. You gotta watch those winds.
Right now, it's pretty quiet. The water's sitting at 69°, right about normal for the season.
The first decent window shows up on Sunday, August 9th. We're looking at a clean 4 ft swell out of the east, with no wind at all – glassy as can be. That's your early pick. The wave energy is moderate at 252, with a 9-second period. It's small, clean, and perfect for a longboard. Not gonna scare anyone away.
Friday, August 14th, brings a little SSE swell, 3 ft, clean under offshore winds, but it's only 7 seconds, so it'll be a bit fat.
The real standout action starts around Sunday, August 16th. That morning has a clean 5 ft ESE swell with light offshore winds and 239 energy. It gets even better Sunday afternoon – 6 ft out of the SSE, 375 energy, glassy conditions. The period is short, though, at 6 seconds, so it might be a bit straight for the point. Monday and Tuesday the 17th and 18th keep that solid 5 ft to 6 ft SSE swell going, with clean offshore winds and energy between 301 and 377.
The biggest energy hits on Wednesday, August 19th morning: 5 ft east swell, 9-second period, 493 energy, and clean offshore winds. That's a nice combo. Then Thursday, August 20th morning is magic: 5 ft east swell, 10-second period, no wind at all, 442 energy. Glassy, clean, and a little bit of power – that's the one to circle on your calendar.
If you're a beginner, watch out for anything over 5 ft, which happens on the 16th and 17th. Might be a bit heavy for you.
Crowds can be a thing at Johnsons, especially on those clean days. Best to paddle out early.
So, your top picks: Sunday the 9th for a small, glassy session, and Thursday the 20th morning for the bigger, cleaner stand-out. The second week looks promising, but that short-period swell can be a bit tricky on the point.
Rusty out.
