The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, let’s run it down for Noises. This is a serious reef break, only for advanced surfers, but it’s consistent. Water temp is 68°F, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year.
We’re off to a slow start. Wednesday morning and afternoon have a 13ft SW swell, but the wind is on it or cross-onshore, so it’s not clean. There’s plenty of energy in the water, though – 7399 and 7055.
Thursday morning, August 13th, is your best bet. The swell is 15ft from the SW with a 16-second period – that’s a long-period groundswell that will reel down the reef. The wind is glassy, dead calm, and the forecast says it’s exceptional. Energy is 9419. This is the one.
Thursday afternoon keeps it going with a 13ft, 17-second swell, and a light cross-onshore wind. Energy hits 9854. It’s a solid second pick.
Friday morning, August 14th, is still good with an 12ft SW swell, 16 seconds, and a clean cross-offshore breeze. Energy is 5898. A nice morning, but Thursday is the winner.
After that, it gets rough. The wind kicks up, the swell drops, and from Saturday onward, it’s mostly messy. Monday brings a risk of thunderstorms and 45 km/h winds, with a 16ft swell and energy of 13281. That’s a horror show.
Later in the week, a 21ft swell on Wednesday, August 19th, with 45 km/h onshore wind – energy 11360. Thursday, August 20th, has a 20ft swell with 35 km/h winds and energy of 15110. The forecast says it’s too big for the break. Nope.
The following weekend is still oversized, then it starts to settle. Tuesday morning, August 25th, looks glassy with a 8ft SW swell, 13-second period, and calm wind. Energy is 4014. That’s a clean, fun finish.
So, the big standout is Thursday morning, August 13th. That glassy, 15ft SW groundswell is going to be magic. Friday morning is a good backup. The rest of the period is mostly for experts only, or downright unridable. If you see anything over 8ft, it’s too big for beginners.

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.
