The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. This is Noises, a reef that’s wide open to the swell and really likes a good WSW direction. Water’s about normal for this time of year, nothing to mention.
The whole 16-day run has surf, but it’s a mixed bag. The first few days, Wednesday 26th and Thursday 27th, are rough. Wednesday morning has a solid 16ft swell from the WSW with a long 18-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore and it’s choppy. The energy is huge (14437), but it’s not the kind of day you paddle out for fun. The afternoon cleans up a bit with cross-off winds, but it’s still big and powerful. Thursday drops a little but stays fresh and lumpy. Friday 28th is smaller, around 7ft dropping to 6ft, and the energy drops off (1489 / 1199), but it’s clean. Nothing special.
Now, Saturday 29th is the real deal. The morning has a 7ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and the wind is offshore from the east, light and clean. That’s the kind of combo that gets you out of bed. The energy is moderate (3388) and those long-period lines are going to wrap beautifully around the reef. Saturday afternoon picks up to 10ft, still clean, with a light cross-off breeze. This is a standout for experienced surfers only—the reef will handle that long period and the waves will have serious push.
Sunday 30th stays big at 10ft but the wind shifts, and by the afternoon it’s cross-on with ripples. Not as good. Monday 31st is a write-off in the morning with onshore wind and poor conditions, though the afternoon cleans up. Tuesday 1st and Wednesday 2nd of September are plagued by onshore or cross-on winds, with big swell and messy conditions. The energy is high (over 6000) but the quality is poor.
Thursday 3rd September is still average. Then Friday 4th September morning looks like a gem: 10ft SW swell, clean, cross-off light breeze, and moderate energy (2803). That’s another one for the experienced crew. Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th are smaller, with cross or cross-off winds, but not as clean. The standout in the second week is Monday 7th September morning. The swell is 12ft from the SW, 16-second period, and the wind is offshore from the ESE. That’s exceptional for experts. The energy is strong (6443) and the line-up is going to be heavy and well-organised.
Tuesday 8th September morning also looks excellent with a 13ft WSW swell, 17-second period, and clean cross-off winds. The energy is very strong (8260). That’s a big, powerful day and only for the well-prepared. After that, the swell fades into the 9th and 10th, with Thursday 10th morning showing a 8ft WSW swell, 19-second period, and clean cross-off winds. That’s a nice, long-period groundswell with moderate energy (4997).
So, the true standouts here are Saturday 29th August morning with that offshore wind and clean lines, and Monday 7th September morning for the big, powerful, offshore perfection. The crowds at Noises are sometimes a factor, but when it’s this good, it’s worth dealing with.

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.
