The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got the long-range picture for Noises.
Alright, let’s talk about Noises. This is a reef break that's consistent and exposed, with an optimum swell direction from the WSW. Right now, the water is sitting at 65°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
We’ve got a big run of swell coming, but the wind is going to be the main character in this story for a while. The first standout window is this Saturday afternoon, the 29th of August. We’ve got a solid 10 ft SW groundswell with a very long 17-second period, and the wind is a gentle offshore from the east. That’s clean, glassy conditions for an expert-level wave. The combined energy is massive at 5038, so there’s plenty of power. This is a real gem for those who can handle it.
Sunday the 30th morning is also looking very clean with an 12 ft SW swell and a northeast offshore breeze. The energy jumps up to 6471. This is the pick of the early period for the big-wave crew.
Then things get messy. From Sunday afternoon through to the 5th of September, the wind clocks around onshore, and the surf gets choppy and blown out. There’s a lot of size, but it’s not surfable for a paddle. From the 4th, the swell is just too big—over 16 ft and up to 20 ft—with strong onshore winds. This stretch is more for the kite surfers than anyone else, with the energy into the five-digit range.
After a long gap of poor conditions, we get a promising but less certain window starting Thursday the 10th of September. The morning shows a 16 ft WSW swell with a clean, cross-offshore wind from the SSE. The energy is huge at 16003, but the size means it’s strictly for experts. The afternoon of the 10th is a standout, with a slightly smaller 16 ft WSW swell, still clean, and the energy is 12501. It’s still big, but the conditions are much better.
The following Friday the 11th offers a more manageable 12 ft WSW swell with clean cross-offshore winds, but the energy is still high at 5485. It’s a solid option for those who missed the earlier windows.
The final note for the 13th of September is a tease: a 20 ft WSW swell with a 19-second period, and it’s glassy. The energy is a staggering 24686, but it’s going to be way too big for all but the most experienced. It’s a sight to see, but not a paddle.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
