Noises Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Noises.

This is a reef setup that loves a good WSW swell, with a consistent track record. It’s an advanced spot by nature, and we’ve got some serious size and energy heading our way over the next couple of weeks. The water temp is sitting at 64°F with anomaly of 2°F which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year – not a huge deal, but it’s nice.

Right off the bat, Friday (the 11th) is a bit of a write-off. We have waves around 7ft from the WSW, but that 30 km/h cross-off wind from the north is messy and it’s only scoring a marginal call at best. Not your day.

We then go into a pretty bleak stretch. From Saturday the 12th right through Sunday the 13th, it’s all onshore wind (W and WNW) with wave heights from 6ft up to 13ft. The conditions are poor, so don’t bother. That’s a solid two-day gap with no recommendations.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Monday the 14th morning is a standout. The swell is a proper 12ft from the SW with a solid 14-second period giving it plenty of grunt – combined energy is a strong 5483. The wind is light and cross-off from the ESE at 10 km/h, which will keep it clean. This is exceptional for advanced surfers, and the wave quality will be high. Noises (exposed reef) is handling that SW direction well; the optimum is WSW so there’s a slight mismatch, but the wind and shape will still produce. This is the best on offer.

Tuesday the 15th morning is also very good. We’ve got 10ft of SW swell, 14-second period, and glassy offshore wind from the ENE at just 5 km/h. The combined energy is 3789, which is strong, and it’ll be clean and lined up. Another top pick for experienced surfers.

After that, the end of the week (Wednesday 16th) drops to 7ft and the winds start to swing, making it marginal. Thursday the 17th is blown out with strong breeze, so avoid.

We get another brief gap with poor conditions until Saturday the 19th morning brings back some serious size – 16ft from the WSW with 14-second period, and combined energy of 8978. However, it’s cross-on from the SW at 15 km/h, so it’s fair to say the quality is compromised. The wave comment is marginal, and at this size, it’s only for experts. It’s more a spectacle than a clean session.

Sunday the 20th morning continues the trend: 18ft of SW swell, 16-second period, massive energy (14678), but still that light cross-on wind from NNW at 10 km/h. It won’t be perfect, but the power is undeniable. Another expert-only day.

Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd are a write-off with onshore winds, then Wednesday the 23rd is also poor. Thursday the 24th is onshore and big again (10ft to 13ft from SW with 19-second period) – way too much wind and size for a clean wave.

Finally, Friday the 25th morning brings a return to better shape: 12ft of SW swell, 16-second period, with a cross-off wind from SSE at 30 km/h. The combined energy is 6288. It’s clean but the wind is on the stronger side, so it’s marginal. Still, it’s a decent option for the experienced crew.

Saturday the 26th morning drops to 8ft with a gentle cross-off, but it’s only scoring marginal and the energy is moderate (2686).

No single break here stands out as picture-perfect every day, but if I have to pick the true standouts, it’s Monday the 14th morning and Tuesday the 15th morning. Those are the sessions to circle. The rest is a mix of huge swell but messy wind, or clean spells with less juice.

Stay safe out there, this reef doesn’t forgive mistakes.

Rusty.
