Noises Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, crew, Rusty here. We've got a wild two weeks on the horizon at this reef break—big swell, messy winds, but a few windows of pure magic if you don't mind doing some waiting.

The run starts Monday, August 31st, and honestly, it's a washout. You're looking at 8ft of WSW groundswell with a 16-second period, but that cross-shore breeze has the surface all chopped up and lumpy. Questionable tide, weak energy—just leave it.

Tuesday, September 1st, it stays messy. Morning brings 10ft on a 15-second period, but it's cross-onshore and choppy. The afternoon cleans up a little with lighter winds and the swell swings more SW, but it's still only marginal. You might find a ripple, but you're better off waiting.

Wednesday the 2nd, the swell pushes to 12ft, but the wind turns onshore and everything gets blown out. Morning's a complete mess, afternoon's not much better. (Energy moderate, around 4400.)

Thursday the 3rd is a total skip. Swell hits 13ft, and with the onshore wind and rain, the face is just shattered. Poor conditions all day. Don't even bring your wetsuit. (Strong energy at 6000+.)

Now, pay attention here. Friday morning, September 4th, the swell explodes to a massive 20ft with a 16-second period. Wind and tide are cooperating, but this is too big for this break—it'll be a moving mountain of whitewater, not a surfable wave. Afternoon backs off a touch to 18ft, but it's still way too big and onshore. This one's for the kamikazes only.

Saturday the 5th is a complete disaster. Gale-force winds at 70 km/h, a 15ft swell—complete blown-out chaos. Energy is through the roof, but it's unsurfable. Stay home and watch the roof.

Sunday the 6th, we get a reprieve. Wind goes light onshore, and we've got 16ft of SW swell on a 14-second period. Still huge, and only "marginal," but at least you can paddle without getting sandblasted. Monday the 7th is similar—still 16ft, but the light wind and a longer 16-second period make it slightly more manageable. The afternoon looks a touch better.

Then—here we go. Tuesday morning, September 8th. The swell drops to a still-solid 13ft, but the wind goes glassy—a dead-flat 5 km/h—and the call is "exceptional." This is the standout session. Big, powerful swell with a clean, glassy face. For the advanced crew, this is your best bet of the whole run. The afternoon stays glassy with 12ft. Go get it.

Thursday the 10th is your other big one. Morning brings 13ft of WSW swell with a 14-second period, and again—dead flat calm. Glassy conditions, another exceptional call. Mark it in the calendar.

After that, it starts to fade. Friday the 11th gets lumpy again with the cross-onshore wind. Saturday the 12th has a pulse but the wind isn't clean. But get this—Sunday morning, September 13th, we get one more beauty: 10ft of SW groundswell, 15-second period, and dead calm air. The call is "excellent for experienced surfers." Clean, lined-up reef waves. Perfect way to wind down.

Monday the 14th follows suit—light cross-offshore wind, 10ft, clean conditions. Two solid mornings to finish things off. After Tuesday the 15th, it goes to hell in a handbasket with fresh onshore winds and lumpy conditions, so that's your last call.

Water's at 65°F, about a degree warmer than average—nothing crazy, just a touch of extra warmth.

So, read the room—skip the first five days, all wind and no shape. Your true standouts are Tuesday the 8th and Thursday the 10th, with the 13th and 14th as solid backup plans. Chase the glass, and you'll be rewarded.

Rusty out.
