The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. For the next couple of weeks, we’ve got a real solid run of swell aimed at Noises (reef). It’s not all perfect, but there are some clean windows that’ll get your heart pumping. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The real action kicks off Friday morning, September 4th, but it’s rough – a 16 ft SW swell with a 13-second period, cross-on wind at 16 mph, and the combined energy is a hefty 8981. That’s a lot of power, but the wind is messing it up. Unless you’re a masochist, skip it. The afternoon cleans up a bit – still 16 ft SW, but the wind drops to a gentle cross-off at 9 mph, and the energy jumps to 10769. It’s a marginal call due to tide, but that’s a big, powerful groundswell for experienced surfers.
Saturday, September 5th, is a write-off – strong onshore winds and lumpy conditions. Sunday morning, September 6th, is a proper standout. The swell drops to 15 ft from the SW, 13-second period, but the wind is a fresh cross-off at 22 mph from the SSE, and the energy is 8197. The report says “clean,” and I’m stoked to back that up. The afternoon is even better for the soul: 8 ft from the WSW with a very long 17-second period, clean cross-off wind, and 7859 energy. That’s a classic groundswell – long lulls, but the sets will be world-class.
Monday, September 7th, keeps it fun. Morning sees 13 ft SW, 16-second period, light cross breeze at 6 mph, and 7259 energy. It’s surfable, but not the pick. The real gem is Tuesday, September 8th afternoon. The swell holds at 13 ft from the SW, 17-second period, with a gentle cross-off at 9 mph from the SE. The energy is 9585, and the report calls it “exceptional for expert surfers.” That’s your best bet for the first week – clean, powerful, and lined up.
The second week gets a bit windier, but there’s still hope. Wednesday, September 9th, is clean but smaller. The real standout in the second week is Wednesday, September 16th. Morning brings a solid 16 ft SW swell with a 16-second period, gentle cross-off wind from the ENE at 9 mph, and massive energy at 12452. The report says “exceptional for expert surfers.” That’s a long-range call, so it’s promising but not locked in yet. The afternoon is also good with a 15 ft SW swell and light cross wind.
Look, Noises is a reef break, so it’s for advanced surfers only. When the swell is over 8 ft, it’s expert territory. That 16 ft stuff is no joke. Crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might get a wave or two to yourself if you’re early. The optimum swell direction here is WSW, and we’re getting mostly SW, which still works fine.
There’s a big gap in quality from Thursday, September 10th, through to Monday, September 14th – those days are either windy or choppy, with low scores. The swell is still there, but it’s not worth fighting the wind. Stick to the Tuesday, September 8th afternoon and Wednesday, September 16th morning windows.
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.
