The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s happening at Noises.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a decent run of Southern Ocean energy coming in. The water is sitting at a very unusual 67°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—a nice little surprise. The first standout is Sunday the 2nd. The morning has a nice 12ft SW groundswell (13 seconds) with clean conditions and a moderate breeze. The afternoon cleans up even more with a light breeze and excellent conditions for the experienced surfer. The combined energy is pumping hard at 4148 (moderate) and it feels powerful. This is your window if you know what you’re doing.
Things get messy mid-week. Monday and Tuesday see the swell jumping up to 13ft and beyond with strong onshore winds and lumpy, choppy water. The energy racks up into the thousands (9480 on Tuesday morning), but with onshore wind, the quality is poor. For the experienced crew, Wednesday morning still has a 16ft SW swell (16 seconds) but the cross-onshore breeze is making it fairly choppy. Not the cleanest, but there’s plenty of grunt.
We hit a real problem from Thursday the 6th right through Saturday the 8th. The swell is huge—15ft to a massive 20ft—and the wind is howling. The energy numbers are off the charts (17881 on Saturday morning), but this is expert territory only, and even then, the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, making it a messy, lumpy beast. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most days.
There’s a gap of poor conditions until we see a promising shift on Tuesday the 11th. Tuesday morning brings a 15ft SW groundswell (15 seconds) with a fresh offshore wind from the ESE. The energy is massive at 9795 (moderate to strong), and with clean offshore conditions, this is the best on offer for the second week. Crowds are sometimes a problem at Noises, so expect company if it’s pumping.
The rest of the second week is a mixed bag—big swells keep rolling through, but winds are often cross or strong. A real bright spot lands on Saturday the 15th. The morning is glassy with a light NNE breeze, a solid 10ft SW groundswell (15 seconds), and glassy conditions. This is a perfect window for a long session.
Then Sunday the 16th morning looks exceptional for experts: a 13ft WSW groundswell (13 seconds) with glassy conditions and clear skies. The energy is at 5039 (moderate), and it’s going to be clean and powerful. Mark that one. The following Monday, the 17th, also has a 16ft WSW swell with a clean cross-off breeze—a solid way to finish the run.
Overall, the best windows are Sunday the 2nd afternoon, Tuesday the 11th morning, and glassy Saturday the 15th morning. Keep an eye on the early bigger swells if you’re an expert, but for most, those mid-week days are messy and blown 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.
