The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for our local jewel.
We’ve got a classic reef setup on our hands, and it’s a spot that doesn’t mess around – advanced territory, and it’s consistent. The first few days are a bit of a write-off, but if you’re patient, there’s some proper gold waiting.
### The Outlook
We start off Monday the 27th of July, and honestly, it’s a rough one. A solid 12ft swell from the SW is pushing in, but that 12 mph S wind is ruining it. It’s cross-shore and messy, with the wave energy feeling massive (3887). You’d be battling a cross-chop, and the forecast says it’s marginal. Tuesday morning the 28th is where it starts to get interesting. The swell drops a touch to 10ft from the SW, but the wind goes light and cross-offshore from the ESE. That’s clean. The period jumps to 14 seconds, which is proper groundswell, and the energy is still pumping (3929). This is an excellent session for the experienced crew.
Wednesday the 29th keeps the clean vibes rolling. The morning has a 8ft SW swell with a NE cross-off at 9 mph. The wind is gentler, and the waves are still packing a punch (3068). By the afternoon, it’s down to 7ft from the SSW, glassy with a light breeze, and feeling excellent.
Thursday the 30th sees the swell drop to 6ft, but the wind swings N and gets a bit stronger, making it cross-shore and choppy. The energy is dropping (1940), and it’s a bit of a letdown after the previous days.
Friday the 31st of July is a total blowout. The swell is back up to 10ft, but a 22 mph NNW cross-on wind is shredding it. The energy is massive (4970), but it’s poor. The afternoon gets worse with a 13ft swell and a 28 mph onshore gale. Stay home.
Saturday the 1st of August brings a 16ft SW beast. The energy is frightening (10409). The wind is cross-shore from the SSW at 22 mph, so it’s not clean, but it’s big. This is for the brave, but the wind makes it a messy, lumpy affair.
Here’s the standout. Sunday the 2nd of August. The swell drops to a still-serious 12ft from the SW, but the wind goes offshore from the E at 9 mph. Properly clean. The period is 14 seconds, and the energy is still very strong (4764). The morning is the winner. The afternoon keeps it clean with a light SE breeze. This is the best on offer.
Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are clean again, with the swell sitting around 8ft to 10ft. The wind is light and cross-off or offshore. Tuesday morning the 4th is especially nice: 10ft from the SW, 16-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the E. That’s a long-period groundswell that will wrap into the reef beautifully.
Then things get chaotic. From Thursday the 6th of August through to Tuesday the 11th, it’s a series of stormy, giant swells and brutal winds. Swells between 15ft and 25ft, with onshore and cross-onshore winds hitting gale force. The energy readings are off the charts (over 20,000 in some cases). This is not paddle surfing. This is for the big-wave tow crews or kite surfers, but even then, the wind is so onshore it’s just a mess. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual to report.
So, to wrap it up: forget the first few days and the end of the run. If you’ve got one session to chase, make it Sunday the 2nd of August. The offshore wind, the 12ft SW groundswell, and that reef setup will be firing. Tuesday morning the 4th is another solid, clean option. The rest is either blown out, too big, or both.
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.
