The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. The next couple of weeks are looking like a proper mixed bag. We’ve got some solid swell windows, but we’ve also got some real junk to paddle through. The first few days are a total write-off, so don’t be in a hurry to grab your board.
Right now, and for the next couple of days, it’s all about hanging on the beach and watching the chaos. The north-west winds are going to be howling, ripping the surface to shreds. It’s big, it’s messy, and it’s not for anyone. We’re looking at close to a 12ft plus SSW/WWS swell, but with that onshore wind it’s just a washing machine. There’s a boatload of energy in the water, but it’s all over the shop.
The first real chance to get wet is on the 14th. It’s still not perfect, but it’s a step in the right direction. We have a 13ft SW swell with a 14-second period starting to push through. The wind is cross-off, so there’s some shape on it. It’s going to be challenging, but for the advanced crew, it's worth a look. Don't expect anything world-class, but you’ll get some waves.
Now, Tuesday the 15th is where it starts to get interesting. The wind drops off, going to that light offshore E or glassy SSE direction. The swell eases back a bit to 10ft, but it’s still a solid SW groundswell. The conditions are clean, and the surfaces will be smooth. This is one to get excited about; the kind of day you look at the forecast for all week.
The middle of the following week is just a holding pattern. The swell eases off and the periods drop, leaving the bank looking a bit fat and lazy. The wind turns cross-shore, making things choppy. It’s a day to leave the board in the car and just watch.
Then we get a proper blast from the north-west on the 18th. Winds are hitting gale force, absolutely howling onshore. It’s basically a cleanup. This is not a day for a surfboard. Honestly, with 40+ mph winds and a big swell, it’s looking like a kite-surfing day, not a paddle-surfing day. The ocean is going to be a whiteout.
The 19th stays raw and windy. There’s a massive 15ft SW swell, but those strong cross-onshores are going to make it a mess. It's a day to watch the power, not ride it. We then get another brief window of calm on the morning of the 20th. It’s looking glassy with a solid 13ft SW swell, but it’s still big and raw. That’s for the experts only.
Now, the standout of this whole period is the 21st. Mark your calendars. It looks like the best day on offer. The wind is offshore, the swell is holding at a solid 13ft from the SW with a long 16-second period. Combined wave energy is massive. The conditions are prime for the reef, with clean lines and plenty of power. This is the day.
After that, things get a bit more mixed. The 22nd has some glassy morning conditions with 10ft swell, but it's not as strong. The 23rd and 24th see new energy arrive. The 24th especially has a monster swell arriving with a 16ft SW groundswell with a 17-second period, and it's glassy. That’s huge, powerful, and only for the gun surfers. If you’re not an expert, stay well clear.
The period after that just gets blown out again with onshores. The last few days of the forecast are looking big but messy like it do around here. There's still some size, but you'll be fighting the wind the whole time.
The water temperature is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so neoprene-wise, you can get away with a good summer suit.
So, bottom line: the clear standouts are the 15th for the cleaner conditions, and the 21st is the clear winner for the combination of size, wind, and power. The 24th is for the big-wave chargers only. Everything else, you’re taking what you can get.
Rusty, out.

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.
