The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Noises over the next sixteen days. This is a reef break that’s exposed to the swell and picks up a solid SW groundswell, and it’s for advanced surfers only. The water’s sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing crazy, but you’ll notice it’s a bit more comfortable than average.
Right now, we’ve got no surf worth paddling for until Friday morning, July 24. That first session is a bit of a mixed bag – 6ft from the SW with a 12-second period, moderate energy (950), and a cross-off NNE breeze at 12 mph. Clean enough, but the conditions are marginal, and it’s not a standout. Friday afternoon improves a little: 5ft, same direction, lighter breeze at 9 mph, and the energy drops slightly (918). It’s still just a warm-up.
Saturday July 25 is a write-off. The wind cranks up to 19 mph from the north, cross-shore, with lumpy chop. Swell’s 6ft but the quality’s poor. Sunday July 26 gets ugly – onshore winds, 16ft to 20ft, and massive energy (5945 to 14743). That’s not surf, that’s a washing machine. Leave it for the kite crew.
Monday July 27 sees a drop in size: 13ft in the morning, easing to 12ft by afternoon, with a cross-off SSE breeze at 9 mph. Cleaner, but still a lot of water moving. The energy is high (4396 to 3207). Only for experienced paddlers.
Now, here’s where it gets good. Tuesday July 28 is the standout of the first week. Morning has 10ft SW swell, 14-second period, and a clean cross-off ENE breeze at 9 mph. The energy is strong (3743). But the real magic is Tuesday afternoon: 8ft, glassy conditions with the wind dropping to 3 mph from the NE. That’s as clean as it gets. The waves will have power and shape – excellent for those who know what they’re doing. Crowds are possible at Noises, but with this quality, you’ll want to be first in the water.
Wednesday July 29 is still solid: 8ft to 6ft, clean cross-off breezes, moderate energy. Good, but not as good as Tuesday. Thursday July 30 holds 7ft in the morning with a 15-second period, and a light cross-off breeze. The period stretches to 19 seconds Thursday afternoon – very long groundswell, which at a reef break like this will produce some beautiful, lined-up waves, but the sets will be spaced out.
Friday July 31 turns ugly again: rain showers, onshore winds up to 25 mph, and 10ft to 13ft of messy swell. Cross that off.
Now we’re into the second week, and the outlook is promising but less certain. Saturday August 1 and Sunday August 2 are the big standouts of the longer range. Saturday morning: 13ft SW swell, 16-second period, cross-shore S wind at 16 mph – moderate chop but the energy is massive (8581). Saturday afternoon cleans up: 15ft, same direction, 16-second period, cross-shore S wind at 9 mph, energy at 10232. This is big, powerful, and for experts only. Sunday August 2 holds 15ft with a 17-second period, but rain showers and cross-on winds start to creep in. Still, the energy is sky-high (12591). These two days are the best of the whole forecast for size and grunt.
Monday August 3 through Wednesday August 5 are messy: onshore winds, 10ft to 8ft, and poor conditions. Not worth the drive. Thursday August 6 drops to 5ft to 5ft, cross-on, and just limp.
Friday August 7 and Saturday August 8 are the final bright spots. Friday morning: 7ft from the WSW, 17-second period, clean cross-off SE breeze at 3 mph. Glassy, long lines, excellent quality. Saturday August 8 morning: 13ft from the WNW, 11-second period, clean cross-off SSE breeze at 9 mph – that’s a shorter period, but the energy is huge (5651) and the conditions are clean. Saturday afternoon: 8ft from the SW, 17-second period, cross-off breeze, energy at 7230. Another solid day for the experienced.
To wrap it up: the best surf on offer is Tuesday July 28 afternoon for glassy perfection, and Saturday August 1 through Sunday August 2 for raw power. Friday August 7 morning is a sneaky clean session too. There’s a gap from July 25 to 27 with no recommendations, and another gap from July 31 to August 1 morning. The rest of the time, it’s either too big, too windy, or just average. Keep an eye on the forecasts – things can shift.

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.
