The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's cooking at Noises.
This is a classic reef break set-up, and for the first week or so, we've got a real mix of proper groundswell and some tricky wind. The water is sitting at 66° right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus.
The action kicks off Wednesday morning, July 29th. It’s not the best start, with a 8ft SW swell and a cross-off NE breeze at 9 mph. The wave energy is decent (2924), but it’s a bit marginal. The afternoon is the real standout for the first day. The swell drops slightly to 7ft from the SSW, the wind backs off to a light 6 mph, and it stays clean. That’s your window for a good session if you can get out there.
Thursday, July 30th, is a bit of a let-down. The swell holds at 6ft from the SW, but the wind picks up to 16 mph in the morning and shifts around, making it messy. The afternoon is clear but the cross-shore wind creates a bit of chop. Not worth getting too excited about.
Friday, July 31st, is a write-off. A big 12ft to 13ft SW groundswell hits, but with strong onshore winds up to 25 mph, it’s just a lumpy, blown-out mess. The wave energy is massive (6476 and 7826), but it’s not for surfing.
The first real standout of the whole outlook comes on Saturday, August 1st, in the afternoon. We’re looking at a solid 15ft SW swell with a 15-second period, and the wind swings to a clean cross-off from the SSE at 12 mph. The energy is huge (9922), and it’s clean. That’s a legit session for experienced surfers, but at 15ft, this is experts only. Sunday, August 2nd, is also very good, with a 10ft SW swell and clean, light winds. A proper weekend.
Monday, August 3rd, is a hidden gem. The morning is glassy – a 3 mph WSW wind – with a 7ft, 15-second SW groundswell. That’s going to be silky smooth, though the long period means it might be a bit straight at times, but it’s still a beautiful window.
After that, the forecast gets a bit wild. From Tuesday, August 4th, through to Monday, August 10th, the swell is consistently huge, often over 12ft and up to a monstrous 30ft with periods over 15 seconds. The wave energy figures are off the chart (up to 118527). While some days, like Tuesday morning, August 4th, and Thursday, August 13th, have clean offshore or light winds, these waves are way too big for this spot. The forecast says it’s too big, and I agree. This is big-wave, big-boat territory, not a standard paddle session.
The best bet for the whole 16 days? Lock in Saturday, August 1st afternoon. That 15ft SW groundswell with clean, cross-off winds is a proper, powerful, clean reef wave. The only other day that comes close for quality is that glassy Monday morning, August 3rd. For the rest of the second week, there are a few windows with smaller swell (August 12th morning), but the wind is onshore or the swell is simply too big to be fun. The last truly promising day is Thursday, August 13th morning, with a 23ft WSW swell and a light offshore ESE breeze, but again, that’s only for the elite.
Rusty.

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.
