The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for the Noises reef.
We’ve got a proper run of swell coming through, starting this Tuesday the 28th of July. The water’s sitting at 66°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the extra thick wetsuit at home.
The first call is Tuesday morning at Noises. A solid 10ft SW groundswell, with a long 14-second period, is pumping in. The combined energy is a powerful 3929, so you’ll feel the weight of it. With a light ESE offshore breeze, it’s going to be clean and lined up. This is serious, advanced territory though – 10ft and a long period on a reef means you need to know what you’re doing. It’s a standout for the week.
Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th keep the goodness coming. The swell eases a touch to 8ft and then 6ft, still SW, still with that long period, and the wind stays offshore or cross-offshore from the NE and NNE. Clean, punchy waves for the experienced crew.
Now, Friday the 31st turns ugly. A big 12ft to 13ft swell arrives, but it’s wrapped in onshore gales. The combined energy jumps way up, but it’s going to be a complete mess. Give it a miss.
Hold on to your boards for Saturday the 1st of August. This is the best of the best. The swell jumps to 15ft from the SW, with a 14-second period. The combined energy is a massive 10529 in the afternoon. More importantly, the wind swings around to the SE, cross-offshore, and the sky is clear. The conditions are calling for exceptional surf for experts. This is a true standout, but with a 15ft swell, it is strictly for the experienced crew. Don’t even think about it if you’re not.
Sunday the 2nd drops back a bit, with 8ft swell and a cross-offshore breeze, but the energy is lower. Things get messy again from Monday the 3rd and into the second week.
From the 4th of August onwards, we’re looking at a lot of huge, dangerous swell with howling onshore winds. The 5th of August, Wednesday, sees a 21ft WSW swell, but the wind is just too strong and onshore. The spot will be too big. The 7th of August, Friday, has a 23ft WSW swell with a 19-second period, and the combined energy is a colossal 30472. That’s just pure power, but it’s going to be a washing machine with gale-force onshore winds. It’s only for the absolute lunatics, and even then, it’s a gamble.
The long-range forecast into the second week keeps this theme of massive, unmanageable swell and relentless wind. The 9th of August, Sunday, has a 25ft swell and gale-force cross-onshore winds. It’s just not worth the trip.
The best windows are definitely Tuesday the 28th and Saturday the 1st of August. For the big stuff later on, it’s more of a promise than a guarantee, but if the wind cleans up, it could be a once-in-a-seasons event. Stay safe out there.
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.
