Noises Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

So, the story for this stretch starts with a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some serious size on the cards, but the winds are going to chop things up for a few days. The water temp at Noises is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus.

The first real highlight comes early. Wednesday the 9th morning and afternoon are looking clean. We’ve got a solid 10ft SW groundswell with a very long 15 second period pushing through. The energy is strong (4064), and with an ENE wind at 12 mph staying cross-offshore, it’s going to be clean. The afternoon is even better, with the wind dropping to a light 6 mph breeze, also cross-off. The water’s still a touch warm. This is the standout of the first week, for sure. Noises is an exposed reef break, so with that period and direction, it’s going to be proper. Just keep in mind, at this size, it’s for advanced surfers only.

Thursday the 10th sees the swell dip a little to 7ft but the morning wind picks up to 16 mph from the NE, cross-off, so it stays clean, but the energy drops. The afternoon gets a weird NW breeze at 3 mph, but it’s cross-on, so expect a little bump.

Friday the 11th morning is blowy. 19 mph from the NNE, cross-off, so it’s clean but windy. The afternoon gets messy with a 16 mph cross-shore from the north and a cross-chop forming. The swell bumps up to 10ft with a very long 18 second period, energy is huge (4803), but that wind is going to ruin it.

Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are a write-off. Strong onshore winds from the west and WNW, gusts up to 16 mph, and the swell is pumping 10ft to 12ft, but it’s all onshore junk. Not worth paddling out.

Now, here’s a proper moment. Monday the 14th morning. It cleans right up. A light NNE breeze at 6 mph, cross-offshore, and we’ve got a big 12ft WSW swell with moderate energy (5305). It’s rated as exceptional for expert surfers. If you can handle that size, this is going to be a session. The afternoon has a SSW breeze coming in cross-shore, still rideable but not as perfect.

Tuesday the 15th drops off a bit. The swell is still decent at 12ft in the morning, but a moderate 12 mph S wind makes it cross-shore with a chop. Not the best.

We jump to Monday the 21st of September. This is a long-range call, but it looks massive. The morning has 15ft SW swell with a very long 17 second period and a massive 11968 energy reading, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-shore from the SSW, so it’s lumpy. The afternoon gets even bigger, 18ft SW, but that’s too big for this break, it’s overshooting. Tuesday the 22nd morning has the same huge 18ft swell with a light cross-offshore SSE breeze, so it’s clean, but again, it’s just too big for this spot unless you’re a serious charger.

The final real standout is Thursday the 24th of September morning. Glassy conditions. A light 3 mph ENE breeze, cross-offshore. Clean 12ft SW swell with a 15 second period, strong energy (5894). Rated exceptional for experts. A very promising way to finish the outlook.

So, overall, the best bets are Wednesday the 9th and Monday the 14th for the near-term, and then look at that Thursday the 24th for the longer haul, though that’s two weeks out, so keep an eye on the charts. There are no beginner-friendly days in this window with the swell consistently over 5ft.

Rusty.
