Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks around Johnsons at Noosa. It’s a classic point break that’s open to swell, and it’s usually fairly consistent, which is a good start.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start before things kick off, but nothing too drastic.
The real standout for the whole run is going to be Tuesday the 7th in the morning. We’re looking at a clean, offshore breeze from the south at 15 mph, with a solid 7ft swell out of the southeast, grinding with a 10-second period. The combined energy is pushing 1026 (moderate), and it’s going to be excellent for experienced surfers. This is the pick of the bunch – clean, strong, and that point will be running nicely.
Wednesday the 8th morning is also very good. Still a moderate offshore breeze from the SSE at 15 mph, with the swell dropping a touch to 5ft but the period stretching out to 12 seconds, which is a lovely groundswell feel. Energy is still strong at 1017 (moderate). It’s a touch smaller, but the quality will be high.
Thursday the 9th morning keeps the run going: 8ft of southeast swell with an 11-second period, and a moderate south offshore. The energy jumps up to 2164 (strong), so there’s plenty of push. This one is for the experienced crew again.
Friday the 10th morning is another cracker – 6ft southeast swell with 10-second intervals, offshore south wind at 12 mph, and moderate energy at 1227 (moderate). Consistent and clean.
After that, things wind down. From Saturday the 11th, the swell drops under 4ft, and the winds start swinging around, losing that clean offshore feel. There’s a bit of a flat patch from the 14th through to the 16th, where you’re looking at weak, tiny waves – basically a blank run.
Late on Sunday the 22nd, there’s a glimpse of something new: a glassy morning with a 3ft southeast swell and a long 12-second period. Energy is moderate at 315. It’s a long way out, so promising but less certain, but it could be a nice little dawny. Water temp is about average for the time of year.
So, bottom line: if you’re around, get on it Tuesday the 7th through Friday the 10th mornings. That’s the good stuff. The rest of the two weeks is mostly small and ordinary.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
