The Lowdown
Hey, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been watching the charts for Noises, and we’ve got some proper surf lined up. This is a reef break that loves a south-west swell, and it’s going to be a topic for the next couple of weeks. Here’s the deal.
It all starts Sunday the 6th of September with a solid pulse already hitting. We’ve got a 13ft SW swell at 13 seconds, with a fresh cross-off wind from the SSE at 18 mph, keeping things clean. The water’s at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal – about 2° above average, so it’s not as cold as you’d expect. The combined energy is pumping at 5913, which is moderate to strong. This size is for experts only. Monday morning the 7th is the real standout: the swell drops to a still-chunky 12ft SW at a very long 16 seconds, but the wind eases to a gentle cross-off from the SE at 9 mph, giving you glassy, clean conditions. The word is “exceptional” for experienced surfers, and I agree – the combined energy is 6877, and those long-period lines will be wrapping down the reef beautifully. Tuesday morning the 8th is another beauty, with 13ft SW at 16 seconds and a moderate cross-off from the ESE at 15 mph, clean waves and the combined energy at 8462. The mornings are your best bet as the afternoons get a bit of wind.
From Wednesday the 9th to the 11th, the size drops but it’s still fun. Wednesday afternoon the 9th has 10ft SW at 15 seconds, a light cross-off from the ENE at 6 mph, and the combined energy at 4086 – still good for experienced crew. By Thursday the 10th we’re down to 7ft SW at 14 seconds, with a light cross wind from the NNW at 6 mph, so it’s small. Friday the 11th morning has 6ft WSW at 14 seconds with a light offshore from the WNW at 6 mph, but the period is shorter and the energy is weak at 2598.
Then the wheels fall off. From Friday afternoon the 11th through Sunday the 13th, the wind turns onshore and picks up, with moderate to fresh cross-on breezes from the NW and SSW, and the swell is 8ft to 13ft but it’s all choppy and lumpy. Poor conditions, no arguing. Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th are marginal, nothing to write home about.
Now for the second week. Wednesday the 16th onwards the swell builds again, but it gets crazy big. Thursday the 17th sees a 20ft W swell at 14 seconds, but with a near-gale onshore wind from the W at 34 mph, it’s a mess. Friday the 18th is still huge at 20ft, onshore and lumpy. Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th are the real monsters: the combined energy hits 22601 on Saturday afternoon with a 21ft WSW swell, and 20589 on Sunday morning with 21ft SW at 16 seconds. The wind is cross-on from the NW at 12-15 mph, and at that size it’s a washing machine. The forecast says the swell is too big for this break – expert-only big-wave territory. Monday the 21st is still big but messy.
Best call of the whole window? Monday morning the 7th of September – glassy, clean, 12ft SW swell with a very long 16-second period and gentle cross-off wind. The break is consistent and exposed to the SW, and the optimum swell direction (WSW) is spot on. Expect crowds sometimes, because this is the one everyone’s chasing. The water’s a touch warmer than normal, so maybe ditch the thick wetsuit.
Rusty.

Information about the Noises Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Noises provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Noises can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Noises surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Noises) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Noises 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.
Noises is 86 km (53 miles) from the city of Bunbury. If you plan a holiday in Margaret River, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bunbury. Bunbury has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
