The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about the next couple of weeks in terms you can feel.
First thing, the water at Noises is sitting at 20° – that’s about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be fine in a spring suit or even just boardies if you’re used to it.
The surf starts firing Sunday afternoon, August 2nd. We’ve got a clean 3.0m SW swell with a 13-second period, and a light NNE breeze keeping it cross-off. The wave energy is strong (around 4148), and conditions are perfect for experienced surfers. That’s your first real standout.
Monday the 3rd, the swell drops to 1.8m but the period jumps to 15 seconds – classic long-period groundswell. The morning’s still clean with a cross-off wind, but the wind picks up to 25 km/h by the afternoon, swinging cross-shore and making it a bit messy. The wave energy is moderate.
Tuesday the 4th is a total washout. The swell hits 4.0m, but it’s paired with a strong 25 km/h onshore west wind. That’s a big, blown-out mess. Leave it.
Wednesday the 5th sees the swell push to 5.0m with a 16-second period, and wave energy is massive – well over 11,000. But the wind is cross-onshore from the WNW, so it’s fairly choppy. The morning is the better call, but it’s still marginal. Only for the brave.
From Thursday the 6th through Sunday the 9th, it’s a rough patch. Swell hangs around 4.0m to 5.5m, but the wind is cross-onshore to onshore, mostly fresh and lumpy. Wave energy stays high, but the quality is poor. Saturday the 8th afternoon has a slight chance of cleaner conditions with a gentle cross-shore, but it’s still marginal.
Monday the 10th is a game-changer. The swell drops to 4.0m, but the period hits 18 seconds in the morning – that’s serious groundswell. The wind switches to a cross-off from the ESE, and wave energy is still strong (9594). The morning is clean, the arvo is clean – this is a solid day for experienced surfers.
Tuesday the 11th is a monster. Swell is 8.0m to 8.5m with a 17-second period, and wave energy is astronomical – over 67,000. The wind is light, so it’s glassy in the morning and cross in the arvo, but this is way too big for anyone except the absolute charge crew. The file says it’s too big for the break.
Now here’s the real standout – Wednesday morning, August 12th. The swell drops to a more manageable 5.5m from the SSW, but the period is still a solid 13 seconds. The wind goes glassy – 5 km/h from the east. Wave energy is very strong at 14,657. This is exceptional for expert surfers. Clean, glassy, and powerful. That’s the pick of the whole forecast.
The rest of the second week is a mixed bag. Thursday the 13th sees a 2.5m SW swell with a 12-second period and a fresh cross-off breeze, but it’s a bit blown out. Friday the 14th is messy with rain and cross-onshore winds. Saturday the 15th morning has a clean 1.9m SW swell with a very long 19-second period – that’s a beautiful groundswell, but the period is so long it might line up a bit too straight for the beach, so keep that in mind. Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th offer clean conditions with cross-off winds and 3.5m to 4.0m SW swells, but nothing jumps out like Wednesday the 12th.
So, if you’re an experienced surfer, mark Wednesday August 12th morning in your calendar. Glassy, powerful, and clean. If you’re not charging that, then Monday the 10th and Saturday the 15th morning are solid backup options.

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.
