The Lowdown
G'day, it's Rusty. Alright, let's have a proper look at what's coming up for Noises. We've got a solid run of consistent, groundswell-driven surf, but it's a game of patience for the clean conditions. First up, the water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there to worry about.
Right now, it's pretty ordinary. Sunday is a write-off with a messy, choppy 10ft onshore slop and strong winds. The combined swell energy is pumping at nearly 4000 (3984), but it's useless with that cross-on wind. You'd be mad to go out. That wind is pushing plenty of energy around, but it's not for us.
It looks like the real go is going to be Monday morning, September 14th. That's when we see a shift. We've got a solid 13ft swell from the SW with a 14-second period, combined energy around 5902, and clean glassy conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SE. The file says it's exceptional for experts, and I'd agree—that's a powerful, clean groundswell. It's a reef break, so it should handle that size well, but at 13ft, this is for experienced crew only. This is the standout for the first week.
The good conditions hang around for Tuesday morning the 15th, with 10ft SW swell, a clean offshore breeze from the ENE, and light winds. Again, that's a top session for those who know what they're doing, but you'll have to contend with others in the water, as it's no secret.
Wednesday through Thursday get smaller and a bit messier, with cross-chop creeping in. The energy drops back into the 1000s (ranging from 1398 to 1805), so it's less punchy. The period stays in the 13-14 second range, so there's still shape, but the wind makes it harder to enjoy.
Then Friday the 18th throws a curveball. A powerful 10ft to 12ft swell returns with very long 15-second periods and huge combined energy over 4000 (4166 to 4536). But it's accompanied by heavy rain and gale-force SSE winds at 25 mph. Saturday the 19th is even more of a mess with strong onshore and cross-shore winds. Unless you're a mad dog, stay on the beach.
The fun looks set to return on Sunday the 20th. The morning has a clean 12ft SW swell, moderate energy around 3669, and a nice cross-offshore NNE breeze. That's a solid option. By the afternoon, the wind swings light and cross-on, but the swell holds.
Now, the real gift is on Monday the 21st of September. We've got a massive 13ft Southwest swell with a very long 16-second period, and the combined energy rockets up past 8000 (7492 to 8243). The tricky part is the wind is light and cross-onshore, which is not ideal for a point or reef setup, but with that much power and length, the wave quality should still be exceptional. This is a serious, powerful groundswell and the biggest energy of the forecast. This is the second standout, but keep an eye on how the tide sits with that cross-on breeze.
Things stay decent through the middle of the second week, with Tuesday the 22nd seeing a small drop in energy, but it's still a 12ft to 10ft range. Then Wednesday the 23rd fires up again: a 13ft SW swell with a stunning 18-second period and combined energy of 10841. That is a monster. Light and cross-onshore again, but with that period, the reef at Noises will be firing. This is a very promising long-range call.
Thursday the 24th is smaller but still clean into the afternoon. But then Friday the 25th is another cracker: a 15ft SW swell, the biggest of the entire run, combined energy of 10955, and clean offshore winds from the SSE. That's a full-on, expert-only day. The period drops to 12 seconds, which is a bit shorter, but it's still groundswell and it will be heavy. Saturday the 26th keeps the offshore winds from the East, with a 12ft SW swell.
The outlook tapers off after that, with Sunday the 27th still holding clean 12ft sets, but Monday the 28th gets messy with northerly winds and a big energy drop. So the second week is full of power, but nearly all of it is best left to the experts or heavy chargers. The two true standouts are the cold, clean dawn on Monday the 14th of September, and the massive, glassy-clean energy spike of Friday the 25th of September.
For the most part, it's consistent and good. Keep your eye on the wind shifts, and don't be afraid to wait for the clean windows. The swell energy is moderate to very strong throughout most of the run, so there's plenty to work with.
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.
