Noises Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way for Noises, but it’s a game of patience and picking the right sessions. This is a reef setup that needs a specific direction, and Mother Nature is going to throw a few curveballs at us.

The week starts with a bang. Tuesday the 8th sees a big, powerful WSW groundswell rolling in at 13ft with a long 16-second period. The combined energy is massive at 7354, and with a light ESE cross-off breeze, it’s going to be clean and powerful. This is expert territory only – it’s a serious, heavy wave. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a thinner suit.

Wednesday the 9th is still solid, with the swell dropping to 10ft from the SW. The morning has a moderate ENE breeze making it a bit tricky, but the afternoon glass-off with a light offshore ENE wind is where it’s at. The period is still a long 15 seconds, so expect plenty of energy.

We get a bit of a reprieve on Thursday the 10th. The swell drops to 7ft from the WSW, but the afternoon session is the absolute standout of the near-term. The wind goes glassy, and the swell period is still a long 15 seconds. That’s a clean, lined-up reef wave on offer.

The weekend goes a bit messy. Friday the 11th has size but onshore winds and a messy cross-chop ruin the quality. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are a write-off with strong onshore winds and rising swell making for poor conditions.

Then we get a window. Monday morning the 14th is a gem. The swell is back up to 13ft from the WSW with a long 15-second period, and it’s glassy. The combined energy is massive at 6123. This is another one for the experienced crew only. The size and power will be too much for beginners.

After that, the second week gets a bit unsettled. The swell sticks around but the wind is variable. Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th have some rideable options with moderate cross-off breezes, but nothing that screams "drop everything". The energy drops off significantly.

There’s a big gap of poor conditions from Thursday the 17th through to Saturday the 19th. Strong onshore winds and lumpy seas make for terrible surf. Then it gets seriously big. Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st see a massive 23ft and 21ft SW swell with an 18-second period – the combined energy is off the charts at 28097. The wind is favorable, but this is simply too big for Noises, even for experts. It’s a monster.

The run continues into Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd, with the swell dropping back to 12-16ft. The wind is a bit better, but the energy is still incredibly high. It’s a long-range forecast, so it’s promising but less certain. The Wednesday afternoon of the 23rd does look like it could clean up with a light SSE cross-off.

The Pick: Without a doubt, Thursday afternoon (10th September) is the best all-rounder. 7ft of clean, glassy, long-period WSW swell. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. For the big-wave crew, Monday morning (14th September) is the standout for sheer power and clean conditions.

Take care of yourselves out there.
