Noises Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Noises over the next couple of weeks. It’s a solid reef break for the advanced crew, and it’s consistently exposed to the swell. The water is sitting at 68°F right now, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like we’ve skipped a season.

The first few days are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. Monday the 3rd has a clean-looking morning with cross-off wind from the NNE at 16 mph, and a 6ft SW swell with a period of 15 seconds, but the energy is weak (1448) and the forecast calls it marginal. The afternoon turns choppy, so best to wait.

Tuesday the 4th brings a big jump in size – 12ft from the WSW – but the wind is onshore all day. The morning has a decent energy reading (8079), but it’s blown out, and the afternoon is a total no-go. Wednesday the 5th sees the swell push to 16ft from the SW with a 16-second period. That’s a lot of water (energy at 11522 and 11797), but the wind is onshore or cross-on, so it’s going to be a messy, lumpy beast. This is expert-only territory, and even then, it’s not looking clean.

Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th are not much better – solid 13ft to 15ft swells, but the wind is all wrong, with onshore and cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. No points for those days.

Now, the standout window. Saturday the 8th is a big one. The swell is a massive 20ft from the SW, with a 15 to 16-second period. The energy is through the roof (16428 and 18337). The wind is cross from the SSW at 22 mph in the morning, turning cross-on in the afternoon. This is a serious, heavy, expert-only reef. It’s likely too big even for a lot of advanced surfers, but if you’ve got the nerve and the skill, it’s going to be a day to remember. The forecast says wind and tide are favorable, but the size is the factor.

Sunday the 9th drops back to 16ft, but the wind is onshore and cross-on again, making it poor. Monday the 10th has a clean afternoon with a SSE cross-off breeze at 16 mph and a 15ft SW swell, but again, the energy is high (17959) and it’s a big, powerful wave. Tuesday the 11th is a good one – 18ft in the morning with a light SSW cross-on breeze at 6 mph, and the energy is strong (14566). The wind is light, so it’s going to be less choppy, but still a big swell for experts.

Wednesday the 12th is a real treat. The morning is glassy – a slight air from the SE at 3 mph, cross-off, with a 13ft SW swell at 13 seconds. The energy is moderate (5168), but the conditions are clean. This is a prime window for the advanced crew.

Thursday the 13th morning has a 15ft SW swell with a very long period of 19 seconds, cross-off from the ENE at 9 mph, and energy is high (15586). That long period will make it a ledgey, powerful wave at this reef. Again, experts only.

The following week starts to settle. Friday the 14th afternoon is a standout – 16ft from the SW, 16 seconds, with a light NE cross-off breeze at 6 mph. The energy is high (11962), and the conditions are clean. This is a top pick for the second week. Saturday the 15th morning has a 15ft swell with a cross-off NNE breeze at 16 mph, but the energy is a bit lower (9609). Still clean though.

After that, the swell drops and the wind picks up. Sunday the 16th is smaller, with a 10ft to 8ft swell, but the wind is fresh and cross-off or cross, so it’s clean but less powerful. Monday the 17th is a washout with onshore winds.

Tuesday the 18th morning is the last real highlight – 13ft from the SW, 16 seconds, with a light SSE cross-off breeze at 6 mph, and energy is solid (7492). Clean, powerful, and promising for the advanced surfer.

So, to sum it up: the first week is blown out until Saturday the 8th, which is massive and extreme. The best bets are Wednesday the 12th morning, and Friday the 14th afternoon. Those are the ones to circle on the calendar. For the rest, it’s either too big, too windy, or just marginal. Keep your eyes on the forecasts, because this reef can dish it out.

Rusty, signing off.
