The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. We've got a big, powerful swell train lining up at Noises, but the wind is going to be a real bastard for most of the run. The water's sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The whole show kicks off Monday afternoon, 17th August, with a solid 20ft WSW groundswell. The energy is cranking hard (9973), but it's blown out with a strong 28 mph onshore wind. This is not a day for a paddle. This much swell and that wind is more kite-surfing territory.
We've got a messy few days following. Tuesday the 18th is still big at 15ft, but it's cross-onshore and choppy. Wednesday the 19th is the same size, with a 15-second period, and the wind goes light and onshore, so it's a bit of a gamble with the tide. The energy is still massive (over 10,000 on Wednesday arvo). The pattern of onshore, marginal conditions holds through Thursday the 20th.
Then, on Friday morning the 21st of August, we get a window. The swell drops to a still-chunky 12ft from the SW, and the wind goes glassy. The energy is still strong (4869), but the conditions are finally clean. This is your best early bet, but it's a morning-only shot before the cross-onshore ruins it in the arvo.
Saturday morning the 22nd is another glassy, clean window with 10ft SW swell and a 16-second period. This is a top pick for experienced surfers. The energy is strong (4471), and the long period will make for some heavy, well-shaped waves, but at a reef break like Noises, be ready for the big sets.
The pattern gets messy again from Sunday. The swell drops to 8ft, but the wind is a cross-onshore chop by Monday. The energy drops back to moderate.
The next real standout is on Tuesday morning, 25th August. The swell jumps back up to 13ft from the SW, with a 13-second period, and the energy surges to its highest in the whole run (12457). The wind is only a light cross-onshore, so it's just a few ripples on the face. This is a massive, powerful day for experts only.
Thursday morning the 27th brings another glassy morning with 8ft swell, but it's a bit smaller. Then Friday the 28th is a cracker. The morning has clean conditions, a cross-offshore breeze, and 12ft WSW swell. The energy is solid (4929). That's a prime day for a paddle.
The run fades out into the end of August and start of September. Saturday the 29th gets a fresh cross-offshore, but the swell is small. The final days from the 30th onwards are all onshore, windy, and poor. September 1st brings rain and 28 mph onshore winds with 16ft swell. A total write-off.
So, the standout windows are Friday morning the 21st and Saturday morning the 22nd for the clean conditions, and Tuesday morning the 25th for the pure, raw power. Friday the 28th morning is also a solid, clean option. For the rest, it's a waiting game.
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.
