Noises Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab a coffee, let's chew the fat on what's comin' down at Noises. This is an exposed reef break, so it's got some serious grunt when it's on – asks for a bit of respect.

Right off the bat, we’re in for a bit of a wait. The first couple of days are all about big, powerful groundswell. Come Monday the 7th, we’re looking at a solid 12ft swell pulsing in from the southwest with a long 16-second period. That's a lot of energy (6,877) pushing through. It's clean, with a light cross-offshore breeze, but brother, that is expert-only territory. Not a spot for the faint-hearted. That trend carries into Tuesday the 8th – the swell actually bumps up to 13ft with the same long period. The morning is a bit windier, but that afternoon session on Tuesday with lighter winds and that big, lined-up SW swell is your true standout. The wave energy is just throbbing (7,961), the combo of swell size, direction matching the break, and clean conditions is as good as it gets here if you’ve got the skills. It’s a wild, powerful beast.

We start to see things settle through the middle of the week. Wednesday the 9th is smaller, around 10ft, and the morning is a bit lumpy. The afternoon cleans right up with a light offshore breeze from the northeast though, making for a fun, punchy session that's more manageable for the experienced crew. The wind clocks around on Thursday the 10th, going glassy-light from the NNW creating some cross conditions. The swell drops to a much friendlier 6ft to 7ft.

Then Friday the 11th through Sunday the 13th? Honestly, just a write-off. The wind swings onshore and it gets messy, choppy, and blown out. That big groundswell turns into a washing machine with the onshore flow. Not worth paddling out. That’s a solid three, maybe four days you can sleep in.

Monday the 14th is the real comeback. The wind swings light out of the NNE, giving us a clean cross-off breeze. The swell is back up to 12ft from the southwest with a nice 14-second period. The energy is still hefty (4,996), but with that light wind, it's going to be smooth and powerful for the experienced surfers.

Through the following week, the picture gets a bit more average. There's still swell, but the wind is unreliable, swinging around and often blowing onshore. Tuesday the 15th is okay, Wednesday the 16th gets messy, and Thursday the 17th through Saturday the 19th looks like another poor spell.

Now, the end of the forecast window throws a wildcard. Look at Sunday the 20th of September. The swell is back up to 13ft from the WSW, but the wind goes light from the north, creating gentle cross-shore conditions. The combined energy is absolutely screaming – over 9,000 (9,219 in the morning, 9,835 in the afternoon). That is a massive amount of juice. It's still big, expert-only stuff, and a little inconsistent with those long sets, but the potential for some absolute bombs through the middle of the day is massive. Keep an eye on that one, but remember the second week is always a bit touch and go. The crowd factor lingers here too – it’s a known spot and can get busy, especially when it’s this good.

So, to sum it up: If you're an expert, your best bet is Tuesday the 8th afternoon for sheer power and perfection. The backup is Monday the 14th morning for a cleaner, slightly more manageable version of the same thing. Long-range look on Sunday the 20th has the potential to be a monster of a day.

Stay stoked.

Rusty.
