Table - best surf conditions forecast for Noosa - Johnsons over the next 16 days.
Rusty here, checking in on the Noosa scene. We got a point break at Johnsons, a fairly consistent spot that’s right out in the swell. The water’s sitting at 68.7°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year. The real standout is clear, so let’s break it down.
The first good run kicks off Thursday afternoon, July 9th. Swell is 6.6ft from the SE with an 11-second period, and the combined energy is a solid moderate 897. The wind is SSE at 16 mph, blowing offshore, so the waves will be clean. That’s a good session for the intermediate crew. The water is a touch colder than normal, so you’ll want a wetsuit.
Friday morning, July 10th, the swell drops to 5.2ft from the SE, still with a 10-second period and offshore SSE wind at 12 mph. The energy is 714. It’s still very good, but the afternoon brings cross-offshore wind and a 4.3ft swell. It’s okay, but the morning is the call.
Saturday morning, July 11th, is looking clean with a 3.6ft SE swell, 11-second period, and a light 6 mph offshore southerly. Energy is 317. It’s a fun size, but it gets smaller in the afternoon.
Sunday, July 12th, the wind turns cross-onshore, the swell drops to 3.0ft, and the energy is weak. Conditions are poor. This flat spell runs through the morning of Friday, July 17th, with tiny waves and mostly average wind. That’s a solid five-day gap where you’re not gonna find much.
The big standout, and the best on offer, is Monday, July 20th. The morning brings a solid 5.9ft SE swell with a 13-second period, giving a combined energy of 1110. The wind is offshore from the south at 9 mph, creating gentle, clean conditions. This is excellent surf for experienced hands. The long period means the waves have real power, but it’s a point break, so it’ll handle it. The afternoon holds at 5.2ft with a 12-second period and light SE winds, still very good.
Tuesday, July 21st, is a mixed bag. The morning has cross-shore wind, but by Tuesday afternoon, it goes glassy with a 3.6ft SE swell at 11 seconds. It’s worth a paddle for the clean conditions.
After that, the swell fades again through the rest of the week. Lock in that Monday, July 20th, for the best waves.
