The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here with the full rundown in feet and miles per hour. Keep your eyes peeled, this one has some serious grunt coming.
We’re looking at a classic Noises reef, and the water is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so less neoprene needed. To get that A-frame barrel, we need a solid SW groundswell and clean wind.
Friday morning, 28th August, starts a bit average. Waves are about 8ft from the SW, period around 12 seconds, but that 12 mph SE cross-off wind messes with the shape. The energy is moderate at 1630. It’s a scratch session more than anything.
The first real highlight is Saturday morning, 29th August. We’ve got a clean 7ft SW groundswell with a long 16-second period, and a light 12 mph offshore breeze from the ESE. The energy is cooking at 3510. That’s proper reef-swell territory, so the lines will be clean and powerful. For the advanced crew, this is the call. Just watch for other paddlers.
Then Saturday afternoon turns it up a notch. Swell hits 10ft from the SW at a very long 17 seconds, and the wind goes glassy—completely dead calm from the east at 3 mph. The wave energy is massive at 5223. This is the absolute best window of the whole two weeks. If you can handle it, it’s a dream session.
Sunday the 30th is still big with an 12ft SW swell (6471 energy), but winds get tricky. By Monday the 31st through Tuesday the 2nd of September, onshore winds and rain mess up the surface, so skip those days.
It cleans back up on Thursday morning, 3rd of September. You’ve got an 12ft SW groundswell at 13 seconds with a light 6 mph offshore from the SE. That’s clean and powerful. However, Friday the 4th brings risk of thunderstorms and 25 mph NW winds, so no good.
Another date to lock in is Monday the 7th of September morning. Swell drops to a manageable 7ft from the SSW at 12 seconds, with light 6 mph cross-off winds from the NNE. It’s clean and excellent for experienced surfers.
The big one sits on Thursday morning, 10th of September. This is massive: 18ft from the WSW at a solid 16-second period, with clean 16 mph offshore winds from the NNE. The wave energy is a staggering 13,697. That is a bomb. But it’s for experts only—anything over 8ft is heavy water. The afternoon of the 10th and the 11th will see the wind turn and chop it up.
That whole second week runs big (14ft to 18ft) but is often wind-affected. You have to pick the right morning with clean offshore flow to score the best of it.
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.
