Noises Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’re looking at a solid run of swell, but the wind is gonna be the main character for the first several days. The core of the window is Noises, a powerful reef break for advanced surfers only. It’s a consistent spot, exposed to the swell, and it loves a good WSW direction. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

We kick off Wednesday, September 2nd, with a chunky 12ft SW swell and a 13-second period, but the wind is a cross-onshore 16 mph, making it a messy affair. Combined swell energy is a strong 4447 (moderate to strong), but the quality is poor. Thursday the 3rd is worse – the swell jumps to 13ft, but the wind is up to 25 mph from the WNW, creating proper lumpy, onshore junk. Friday the 4th is a bit of a tease. A solid 16ft WSW swell rolls in, but the wind is onshore. By Friday afternoon, the wind drops a little, and the score jumps, but it’s still a big, onshore peak. Saturday the 5th is a write-off with near gale-force cross-shore winds.

Now, Sunday, September 6th, is where it gets interesting. The morning is still a bit messy with a 16ft SW swell and strong energy (8888), but the wind is shifting. By Sunday afternoon, it’s a different story. We’ve got a 16ft SW swell with a 17-second period – that’s some serious groundswell energy (15047). The wind is a moderate cross-shore, but the report says it’s actually wind and tide favorable. The only catch? It’s predicted to be too big for this break. Unless you’re a seasoned charger, that’s a day to watch from the rocks.

The real standout is going to be Tuesday, September 8th. The morning looks absolutely pristine. A 16ft SW swell with a 19-second period (very long period groundswell), and the wind is a light offshore breeze from the ENE. The combined energy is a massive 16423 – that’s strong to very strong. The conditions are described as “clean.” This is the pick of the first week. The afternoon is also good, but you’ll want that morning glass-off. Remember, that long period groundswell is best at a reef like Noises, so the shape should be epic, but expect long lulls between sets.

The next big highlight is way down the line. Looking at Thursday, September 10th, the morning is glassy. A 7ft WSW swell with a 16-second period, and the wind is a glassy 3 mph from the north. The energy is lower (3119), but the conditions are described as “excellent for experienced surfers.” It’s a cleaner, more manageable size than the 8th.

Then, we jump to Sunday, September 13th. Another morning gem. An 12ft SW swell with a 15-second period, and the wind is a gentle offshore from the ESE. The energy is solid (5339), and the conditions are “exceptional for expert surfers.” That’s a strong call.

Finally, the last standout deep in the outlook is Thursday, September 17th. The morning is glassy – a 13ft WSW swell with a 16-second period, and the wind is a 3 mph westerly (glassy). The energy is high (8407), and the conditions are “exceptional for expert surfers.” This one is a long way out, so treat it as a promising but uncertain date.

The only real gap in the action is the first few days, which are blown out. After that, there’s consistent, big swell, but you need to pick your moments with the wind. The two absolute standouts are the morning of Tuesday, September 8th, and the morning of Thursday, September 17th, if it holds. The water is average temp, so a 3/2 is fine.

This is Rusty, signing off.
