Noises Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk surf. We got a solid 16 days ahead, but it’s a bit of a rollercoaster with the wind, so you gotta pick your moments. First real chance is Monday the 7th.

Monday afternoon brings a 11.5 ft SW swell into Noises. Water temp is a mild 64.8°F, a touch warmer than usual for this time. Problem is the wind is screaming from the SSE at 18.6 mph cross-offshore – it’s doable but a workout. The combined energy is 6307, so plenty of grunt, but the call is marginal. Not the best start.

Tuesday morning (8 September) is a step up. Clean 13.1 ft SW groundswell with a long 16-second period, wind drops to cross-off ESE at 12.4 mph. Energy reading is 8888 – that’s deep ocean power. This is for advanced surfers only, as it’s well over 8 ft. Tuesday afternoon is even cleaner: SE wind at 9.3 mph, still cross-off, glassy, same 13.1 ft SW swell. This is a standout for the confident crew.

Wednesday morning (9 September) drops to 9.8 ft SW, but the wind goes fresh ENE at 18.6 mph cross-off. Not as good. Wednesday afternoon is a cracker: offshore east wind at just 6.2 mph, glassy, with a 9.8 ft SW swell and 15-second period. Energy is 3649 – strong. The commentary calls it excellent for experienced surfers. This is your best mid-week window.

Thursday (10 September) sees the swell drop to 6.9 ft. Morning is cloudy with a moderate cross-off breeze from the ENE. But Thursday afternoon is a beauty: glassy conditions with a NW wind at just 3.1 mph, the same 6.9 ft SW swell, and 15-second period. Energy at 2232 – moderate, but the glassy surface makes it a dream. A gem for anyone on a step-up.

Friday the 11th brings the swell back up to 9.8 ft, but the wind goes cross-onshore from the NNW, and the period stretches to a massive 18 seconds in the afternoon. That’s very long period groundswell – at Noises reef, it’ll produce proper lines, but the cross-onshore chop will mess with the face. Not a top pick.

From Saturday the 12th through Sunday the 13th, it’s ugly. Strong onshore winds, lumpy, and the swell jumps to 13.1 ft. Energy readings are through the roof (up to 4998), but the wind is howling from the west and WNW. This is kite-surfing territory. For paddle surfing, it’s a write-off.

Monday 14 September offers a reprieve: an 11.5 ft WSW swell with a 14-second period, light cross-shore wind from the north at 6.2 mph. Energy reading is 5194 – still strong. It’s not perfect, but it’s a lot better than the weekend. A solid, heavy day for the experienced.

Tuesday 15 September is smaller at 9.8 ft, wind from the south cross-shore and building. Just a standard day.

Wednesday 16 September sees the swell back up to 11.5 ft SW with a 16-second period, gentle cross-onshore wind from the SW. Energy is 6525 – proper push. Rideable for the savvy local.

Thursday 17 September has a weird drop in period to 8 seconds – short-period windswell at 9.8 to 11.5 ft. Light cross-shore wind, but the short period will make it crumbly. Not the best.

Now, the standout of the entire forecast lands on Friday 18 September. The swell jacks to 19.7 ft from the WSW with a 15-second period, wind a cross-offshore NNE at 12.4 mph. The energy reading is a staggering 32641 – extreme. The commentary says it’s wind and tide favorable, but the swell is too big for this break. For expert surfers only, and even then it’s a day to watch from the cliff. Saturday and Sunday after that are back to messy, onshore garbage.

Monday 21 September brings another big pulse: 14.8 ft SW with an 18-second period, but the wind is a strong cross-onshore from the SSW at 21.7 mph. Messy and lumpy.

Tuesday 22 September finishes the run with a 16.4 ft SW swell and
