The Lowdown
Hey, it's Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking.
The start is a bit flat. Tuesday morning the 15th, we’ve got a small 3ft easterly swell at Noosa - Johnsons with a short period, but the wind is dead glass, so it’s clean even if it’s weak. The combined energy is a measly (59). It’s surfable, but you won’t be telling stories about it.
Then there’s a few empty days before things perk up. Thursday morning the 17th is a proper highlight. The swell jumps to 7ft from the SE with a better 8-second period, and we’ve got a moderate offshore wind. The energy is strong at (695). Water temp is about 69°, which is nothing special, just normal for September. This is a point break, and crowds are often a thing here, but Thursday morning is the time to go if you want some power.
After that, it fades. Friday the 18th is small, and we hit a real lull from the 19th through the 22nd – hardly any waves at all with messy winds.
We get a little bump around the 23rd and 24th with 6ft ESE swell, but the wind is fresh and the conditions are just iffy. Not worth the hassle.
Now, the real long-range standout is Saturday morning the 26th of September. Over a week out, the models are showing a clean 7ft easterly swell with an 8-second period. We’ve got light offshore wind, and the combined energy is pumping at (597). The direction is perfect for the point. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s a promise, not a guarantee, but it looks sweet.
That holds into Sunday the 27th with similar 6ft to 7ft swell, though it gets a bit crossed up, so Saturday morning is your best bet.
After that, from the 28th on, it’s back to onshore winds and fading energy. So, don’t sleep on Thursday the 17th, and sure as hell keep an eye on that Saturday the 26th.
Rusty.
