Noises Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer for Noises over the next couple of weeks. There’s a solid run of great, powerful swell coming through, but this is a spot for the crew who know what they’re doing. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.

The first real action kicks off Sunday morning, September 6th, with a thumping 13ft groundswell from the SW. The energy is through the roof (6003), but it’s a bit lumpy with that cross-off SSE wind at 19 mph. The afternoon looks even bigger, with a 15ft swell and period hitting 17 seconds – that’s some serious, long-period groundswell (10964 energy). The wind stays cross-off, so it’ll be clean but heavy. The crowd here is sometimes a factor, so you might have to share the reef.

The standout window is Monday morning, September 7th. The swell drops slightly to 12ft from the SW, but the period is still a glorious 16 seconds, and the wind switches to a gentle SE breeze at 9 mph. The energy is massive (6877) and the conditions are described as exceptional for expert surfers. This is the one to circle. The afternoon has the same swell but the wind picks up again, making it less appealing.

Tuesday the 8th is another solid day. The morning has a 13ft SW swell with 16-second periods, a moderate ESE wind, and clean conditions. The energy is strong (8674). The afternoon is even better wind-wise, with a gentle SE breeze and the same solid swell. This is a top-tier call for experienced surfers. Wednesday morning the 9th sees a drop in size to 10ft from the WSW, but the wind goes clean offshore from the ENE at 16 mph. The energy is still significant (4673). It’s excellent for experienced surfers, but with that offshore wind, it’ll be a thing of beauty.

From Thursday the 10th onwards, things get messy. The swell drops to the 7-8ft range, but the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, and the quality goes downhill. Friday and Saturday are a write-off with poor conditions and choppy seas. Sunday the 13th is a no-go with 19 mph SW winds and lumpy, blown-out surf.

There’s a brief glimmer on Tuesday morning, September 15th, with a 10ft SW swell, 14-second period, and a light NNE cross-off breeze. The conditions are clean and the energy is moderate (3419). It’s a good option for experienced surfers, but it’s a one-morning wonder.

The second week looks big but wild. Wednesday the 16th is marginal, and then from Thursday the 17th through to the 21st, the swell gets huge – 20ft to 21ft. The energy readings are off the charts (19412, 33756). However, the wind is onshore and strong (25-28 mph onshore). The guidance says the swell is too big for this break, and the conditions are poor. This is only for the absolute top-tier experts, and even then, it’s going to be a battle. For most, it’s a hard pass. The setup here looks more like a kite-surfing session than a paddle session.
