The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what’s lining up for the Noises.
We’ve got a pretty solid run of surf, but it’s not for the faint of heart. This is a heavy, exposed reef break that demands respect. The first real window kicks off this Tuesday morning the 15th, with a solid 10ft SW groundswell at 14 seconds. The combined wave energy is huge at 4009 (very strong). The wind is a light offshore from the ENE, keeping those faces clean. The water temp is sitting at about 64°, which is pretty much average for this time of year. This session is for experienced surfers only.
By Tuesday afternoon, the wind swings to a light cross-off from the SSE, still clean and surfable with the same 10ft SW swell. Good.
Wednesday the 16th sees the swell ease to 7ft in the morning, but a stronger NE breeze makes it a bit messier with a cross-off wind. It’s a step down in quality. However, Wednesday afternoon cleans right up again with a slight NNE breeze and a 5ft SW swell – a nice, clean option if you want something a little smaller.
Thursday the 17th is a write-off with strong cross-shore and cross-on winds that will chop it up. Not worth it.
Now, the big news comes Thursday the 18th into the weekend. Friday the 18th sees a massive 10ft WSW groundswell with a super long 17-second period, but strong NNW cross-winds ruin it. The energy is massive (5258), but the surface will be lumpy.
Saturday the 19th is a complete loss with strong onshore winds.
The true standout is this: Sunday morning the 20th of September. The wind drops to glassy, dead calm from the SW, with a solid 8ft WSW swell at 12 seconds. The energy is moderate (1471), but that glassy wind is a golden ticket for a heavy reef like this. This will be pure, clean, and lined up.
Keep an eye on the following week. Monday and Tuesday the 21st and 22nd stay big, around 10ft, but winds are tricky – mostly onshore or cross-on. It’s a waiting game.
The absolute highlight of the whole forecast, if you are an expert, is Thursday the 24th and especially Friday the 25th, a full ten days out. Thursday afternoon kicks off a staggering 20ft SW swell with an 18-second period – that’s 23292 energy. Friday morning the 25th tops it off with a 21ft SW swell at 18 seconds (26267 energy). The wind on Friday morning is glassy. The note from the data says it's too big for this break, and honestly? For 99% of surfers, it is. This is a full-on, big-wave event for experts only. If you have the gear and the nerve, that Friday morning is the one.
After that, the swell drops back to 10-12ft for the final weekend, with cleaner conditions on Saturday the 26th with a cross-off NE breeze, and then the window fades out through the 29th and 30th as the swell backs off to 3-4ft and winds get strong.
To sum it up: This run is for advanced crew. The best bets for clean, manageable size are Sunday morning the 20th (glassy, 8ft). The biggest, most extreme window is the 24th and 25th, especially Friday the 25th. That’s the one you circle on the calendar if you’re ready for a big day.
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.
