The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. The next couple of weeks are a wild ride for Noises, a heavy reef setup that’s got a serious pulse of southwest groundswell running through it. The water’s sitting at 68°F, which is a solid 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a noticeable jump, so you might not need the full 5/4.
The opening days are a write-off, to be honest. Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th are blown out with strong cross-onshore winds, messy 15ft to 18ft swells, and just plain poor surf. Don’t even bother. The combined energy is all over the place, but it’s just not clean.
But then things start to click. Tuesday the 11th has a proper swell – 18ft of long-period SW groundswell at 16 seconds, with a massive energy reading of 16529. The wind is cross-on, but the forecast says it’s favorable. The catch is, this is an 18ft swell on a reef. That’s not for the faint of heart. This is serious, expert-only territory. The water’s warm, but the power is real. That’s one of the standout, holy-crap moments of the window.
Wednesday the 12th drops a bit to 13ft, but it’s still cross-onshore and choppy – marginal at best. Then Thursday the 13th morning is the one. The sun’s out, the wind goes glassy, and you’ve got 13ft of SW groundswell at 16 seconds. The report calls it “exceptional” for experts. This is the pick of the first week. Clean, powerful, and on a reef like Noises, that long period is going to stack up and unload. It’s going to be perfect, but it’s still big – 13ft is no joke.
Friday the 14th is still good, with a cross-offshore breeze and 12ft of SW swell, keeping it clean and fun. Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th are the letdown. The swell drops to 8ft-10ft, but the wind swings cross-shore and gets fresh, making it lumpy and average. Not worth the paddle.
Then we get another big pulse on Monday the 17th. We’re looking at 18ft of WSW groundswell, again at a long 16 seconds, with a huge energy of 16239. Winds are light, but the swell is just too big for this break. It’s another one for the experts only, a proper bomb. The following days, Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th, are back to rubbish – strong onshore winds and rain, making a mess of things.
The second week is more of the same in terms of size, but the quality is mixed. Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st are poor, with strong winds and rain. But then we get a nice run starting Saturday the 22nd. The wind goes cross-offshore, and we’ve got a solid 15ft SW swell at 16 seconds. It’s clean, powerful, and a proper session. The morning of Sunday the 23rd is also worth a look – 12ft of SW groundswell, light offshore winds, and clean conditions. It’s a bit more manageable.
So, if you’re an expert and you can handle serious size, the absolute standouts are Tuesday the 11th and Monday the 17th – those are the days with the biggest, longest-period waves. But for a mix of size and cleanliness, Thursday the 13th morning is the one to circle on the calendar. The rest is a waiting game between the pulses.
Alright, stay safe out there.
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.
