Noises Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s break it down for the Noises. We’ve got a solid run of swell ahead, but you’ll need to work through some dirty wind early.

The first few days are a battle. Thursday afternoon the 3rd brings a 13-foot WSW swell, but a 22 mph cross-on northwesterly makes it a mess. The water is a touch warmer than average for this time of year at 65°. Friday the 4th the swell builds to 16 feet from the SW, but again, cross-on winds ruin the shape. The energy is massive (8208) on Friday morning, but it’s lumpy. Friday afternoon the wind drops to 9 mph, and the swell eases to 15 feet with a 15-second period – a proper groundswell. The energy is pumping (10719), but the wind is still cross-on, so it’s work. 15 feet is only for the experienced.

Saturday the 5th is a total washout with fresh onshore winds and rain. Swell holds around 11 to 13 feet, but it’s not worth it.

Sunday the 6th is the first real window. Morning is clear with a 19 mph cross-off from the SSE. The swell is a solid 13 feet from the WSW, and the energy is strong (6254). The afternoon is the standout: wind drops to 16 mph, still cross-off, with a 15-foot SW groundswell at a very long 17 seconds. The energy is through the roof (12254). This is a point-break, long-period dream. The swell is big, but the conditions are clean. If you’re an advanced surfer, this is your session.

Monday the 7th stays clean with a moderate cross-off breeze and 13-foot SW swell at 16 seconds. Good, but not as special.

Tuesday the 8th is the absolute gem. Morning has a 13-foot SW groundswell at 17 seconds, with a light 9 mph cross-off from the ESE. The water is glassy, the energy is massive (10206), and the forecast says exceptional for experts. The afternoon is even better: wind drops to 6 mph from the SSE, still cross-off, with the same 13-foot SW swell. This is the best of the run. Rare combination of size, long period, and clean offshore wind at Noises.

The second week starts to fade. Wednesday the 9th has 11-foot SW swell but cross-on wind in the afternoon. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th see the swell drop to 7 feet, and winds are mixed. The crowd at Noises can be a factor sometimes, so plan around the standout days.

The middle of the second week gets rough. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th see a new pulse of 15-foot swell, but the wind cranks up to near gale force from the WSW on Saturday, and stays cross-on and choppy. This is a kite-surfing zone, not a paddle session. The energy is high (10147 on Saturday afternoon), but it’s blown out.

The end of the run looks good again. Tuesday the 15th has a clean 11-foot SW swell with light cross-off winds in the afternoon – a solid session. But the big one is Wednesday the 16th: 13-foot SW groundswell at 17 seconds, with a light 9 mph cross-off from the NE. The energy is massive (10692), and the forecast says exceptional for experts. This is another standout, but it’s more than a week away, so keep an eye on it.

Overall, the Noises have a few days of top-tier surf, especially around the 6th, 8th, and 16th. The early days are a challenge, but the clean groundswell windows are worth the wait.

Rusty.
