The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Noosa's Johnsons.
The next week and a bit is pretty grim, to be honest. We've got a long stretch of small, junky surf with onshore winds, so don't get your hopes up for the early part of the forecast. The first real glimmer of hope, and it's a faint one, doesn't show up until Wednesday, September 9th.
That Wednesday morning, the 9th, is the only real standout in the whole 16-day window. We'll see a clean 4.3ft swell, coming from the SE, with a period of 10 seconds. That's a proper groundswell, offering some decent energy (356). The wind is light and offshore out of the SSE, which will make for some clean, lined-up waves at the point. This is the session to target if you're keen. The water is sitting at 68.5°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a spring suit.
The rest of the outlook is a waiting game. There are a couple of afternoons, like the 7th and 8th, with surfable but very ordinary waves, and the 12th and 13th offer similar small, weak conditions. We get a bigger pulse of swell on the 11th, with 6.2ft from the SE, but the period is short at 7 seconds, and it comes with a moderate breeze, so it'll be a bit of a mess. Further out, the 16th shows a 6.9ft swell from the SE, but the wind is light and variable, and the conditions are described as marginal. It's a tease.
Overall, it's a pretty flat run with one good morning on the 9th. If you're itching for a paddle, that's your window.
