Noises Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way for Noises (reef), starting Monday the 27th of July. This is a consistent, exposed reef break that only suits advanced surfers, so don’t even think about paddling out if you’re not confident on a bigger reef wave.

The first wave of energy hits Monday afternoon with a 12ft SW swell at 13 seconds, producing a hefty 4080 combined energy. The water is sitting at 66°F which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Winds are a cross-offshore breeze from the SSE at 12 mph, keeping things clean-ish but the tide conditions might make it a bit average. Not the best of the run, but it’s a start.

Tuesday the 28th shapes up better. The morning sees a 10ft SW groundswell (14-second period) and 3929 energy, with a light ESE cross-offshore at 6 mph. This is clean, punchy, and excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon stays workable but a cross-shore breeze steps in.

Wednesday the 29th stays solid. Morning has a 8ft SW swell with light NE cross-offshore winds at 9 mph – clean and powerful for the crew who know the lineup. The afternoon stays similar but a little smaller.

Thursday the 30th is pure morning glass with clear skies, a 6ft SW swell, and NNE cross-offshore winds at 9 mph. That’s a very clean, manageable day for the advanced crew, with energy still around 1978.

Now, Friday the 31st is a write-off. Big 13ft SW swell but with a brutal 19 mph NW cross-onshore wind, turning into a full onshore mess by the afternoon. Don’t bother.

But here’s the standout. Saturday the 1st of August. This is the one. The morning delivers a 16ft SW swell with 9564 energy. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the SSE at 12 mph. That’s a massive, powerful reef swell with clean conditions – world-class for the experts. The afternoon stays just as good with lighter wind. If you can handle size, this is the pick of the whole forecast.

Sunday the 2nd still has plenty of juice. A 12ft SW swell with a sweet ENE offshore wind at 9 mph in the morning. That’s 6291 energy with a clean, offshore face. The afternoon eases off but stays clean.

Monday the 3rd brings a glassy morning with a 8ft SW swell and no wind – pure glass. That’s a joy to surf. The afternoon gets a bit cross-shore but still good.

Another big one to circle: Tuesday the 4th of August. Morning sees a 12ft SW groundswell with an 18-second period, clean cross-offshore winds at 9 mph, and 6736 energy. That’s a long-period, powerful reef swell with perfect conditions. The afternoon gets wind-affected, so hit the morning hard.

The following days mix it up. Wednesday the 5th is average with cross-onshore winds. Thursday the 6th has a big 12ft W swell but with onshore winds – messy. Friday the 7th is a monster: 20ft WSW swell with 23232 energy but onshore wind – that’s too big and blown out, expert-only if you’re crazy.

Saturday the 8th has a 16ft WSW swell but strong cross-shore wind. The afternoon improves with a clean cross-offshore breeze. Sunday the 9th is much cleaner with a 10ft SW swell and a light ENE offshore at 6 mph – a nice, mellow session for the experienced.

Into the second week, Monday the 10th of August brings a small but very long-period 4ft WSW swell at 21 seconds with 2884 energy and clean NNE winds. That’s a weird one – long period, small, but clean. The afternoon gets a bit of cross-on. Tuesday the 11th is a total loss with fresh onshore wind and ugly conditions.

To wrap it up: the absolute best sessions are Saturday the 1st of August morning and Tuesday the 4th of August morning. Both are big, clean, and powerful. Crowds are a possibility at Noises, but with this size, only the dedicated will be out. Don’t miss it.

Rusty.
