The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Noises.
Water temp is about 66°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a little extra warmth.
First week is a bit of a struggle. We’ve got a solid, long-period groundswell (SW) starting on the 22nd, but the wind is a pain. Saturday morning the 22nd sees 10ft swell with a 16-second period, but it’s a cross-shore breeze and the combined energy is strong (4301). The surf is there, but it’s not clean. That pattern holds through Sunday and Monday, with the swell around 8ft to 10ft, but the wind stays cross or cross-on, keeping things choppy. Tuesday the 25th is a write-off with strong winds (20-25 mph), and Wednesday the 26th the swell jumps to 18ft with a massive energy reading (18843) – way too big for this reef break. That’s a kite day, not a paddle day.
Thursday the 27th drops to 13ft, but the wind is still cross and the energy is high (6228) – still marginal.
The standout window is the morning of Friday the 28th. The swell drops to a much more manageable 8ft, but the wind swings to a light cross-off from the SSE at just 3 mph. Conditions are clean, and the energy is moderate (1517). For a reef break like Noises, that’s a sweet spot – the long period (12 seconds) will give you some nice, lined-up waves, but it’s for experienced surfers only.
After that, Saturday the 29th through Monday the 31st of August has improving wind. The morning of the 31st is a gem: glassy conditions with a light W wind, 10ft swell from the WSW with a 15-second period, and a strong energy reading (5008). That’s a proper session for the experts – clean, powerful, and dead calm.
First week of September sees more swell. Thursday the 3rd has a clean 10ft morning with offshore E wind, but the period is a bit shorter (12 seconds). The real solid one is Friday the 4th of September – 15ft of SW groundswell (16-second period) and a very strong energy reading (10873). The wind is cross-on but light, so it’s not perfect, but the size is there for the big-wave crew.
The outlook then goes downhill into the 5th and 6th of September with strong onshore winds and messy conditions.
Best on offer is the glassy morning of the 31st of August, with the clean cross-off on the 28th of August a close second. Both are for the experienced crew only.
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.
