Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Noosa over the next couple of weeks.

For the most part, this is looking like a run for the experienced crew. We’ve got a solid stretch of surf coming through, but conditions are a bit mixed. Don’t get too excited early on – there’s nothing worth paddling out for until Monday the 6th, and even then it’s a big, raw 8 ft SE swell with short 7-second period and a fresh offshore wind. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is feeling pretty normal for this time of year.

The real standout is going to be Wednesday the 8th. Johnsons (Noosa – Johnsons) will be firing for the experienced surfer. Swell sizes are running 5 ft to 8 ft from the SE, but the period jumps to 12 seconds – proper groundswell. That longer period really cleans things up, giving you better-shaped waves and longer gaps between sets. The combined energy is strong at 1084, and we’ve got a moderate offshore breeze in the morning, keeping the faces glassy. This is a point break that loves this SE direction, so expect some long, workable walls. Thursday the 9th is also excellent, with 7 ft to 7 ft SE swell and 11-second period, plus consistent offshore winds.

After that, it drops off. Friday the 10th still has some fun 5 ft to 5 ft waves, but the energy weakens (388) and the wind goes cross-off. Saturday the 11th is small (4 ft) and clean early, but don’t expect much push. Then we hit a long quiet spell. From Sunday the 12th through to Thursday the 16th, it’s mostly tiny or onshore mush – nothing worth your time. There’s a faint pulse picking up again around Friday the 17th with 4 ft SE swell, but the period is short (7 seconds) and conditions are very ordinary.

The best bet by far is that Wednesday morning session. That’s your window.

Stay safe out there.
Rusty.

Information about the Noosa - Johnsons Surf forecast

A general guide to surfing at Noosa - Johnsons can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Noosa - Johnsons may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
