The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the local surf over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid pulse of swell hitting Noises on Sunday the 30th. This is a heavy-duty, advanced reef break, and it’s a proper groundswell. You’re looking at a 10-foot swell from the WSW, with a long 16-second period that’s packing a punch – the combined energy reading is a burly 4844 (moderate). The water is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the NW, so it’s a bit bumpy, but still surfable. For a Sunday afternoon, it’s worth a look, but this is an advanced spot, and with that size, it’s not for beginners.
The next few days are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st see the swell size drop a little, but the wind gets messy – fresh cross-onshore and choppy. The scores are low, and it’s just not looking clean.
Now, hold on to your boards, because the end of the first week and into the second is where things get wild. From the 4th of September onwards, we’re looking at some serious size. Friday the 4th afternoon sees a massive 16-foot swell from the WSW, with a 16-second period. The combined energy is a staggering 12569 (strong to very strong). The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so it’s a bit choppy, but the swell is just too big for this spot. The guidance says it’s predicted to be too big for the break. This is expert territory only, and even then, it’s a dicey situation.
The standouts in this whole run are the mornings of the 8th and 9th of September. On Tuesday the 8th, we’ve got a 15-foot swell from the SW, but the wind is a gentle cross-shore from the North, which is cleaning it up nicely. The combined energy is 10420 (strong). Wednesday the 9th is even better – a 15-foot swell from the WSW, with a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. This is about as good as it gets for a big-wave reef. The energy is massive at 10559 (strong), and the wind is making it glassy. This is the window to be out there if you’ve got the skills and the big-wave board. Keep in mind, though, that with this size and long period, it’s going to be a heavy, powerful wave, and you’ll be waiting for those sets.
After that, the wind gets a bit messy again through the 10th and 11th, and the swell stays solid but with cross-onshore winds, making it lumpy and choppy. There’s a long stretch from the 11th to the 14th where the conditions are poor, with strong onshore winds and rain. The swell is still there, but it’s not going to be a pleasant paddle.
So, to sum it up: the best bet is the window from the 8th to the 9th of September. That’s your window for clean, powerful surf, but it’s for experts only. The rest of the run is either too rough, too windy, or too big to be enjoyable.
Stay safe out there.

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.
