The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's take a look at what's cookin' over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, it's a bit of a wait-and-see situation. The coming days are going to be a battle with the wind, and honestly, there’s not much to get excited about just yet. The first real chance of a decent wave doesn’t pop up until late on Monday, and even that is a bit of a gamble. The big news, though, is brewing for the following week. We’ve got a monster swell on the horizon, but that comes with its own set of problems.
At Noises, this is a reef break for advanced surfers only, and it’s consistent. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
We start this Sunday the 26th with a big, messy SW swell around 18ft at 12 seconds, but a strong cross-onshore wind is just going to wreck it. The combined wave energy is massive (7851). It’s poor. It’s really not the day for it.
Monday the 27th is a messy start with that S cross-shore wind and a 11.5ft SW swell (3887 energy). The morning looks pretty average, but Monday afternoon shows some improvement. An 11.5ft SW swell (3844 energy) with a cross-offshore breeze and a clean surface. It’s a marginal day, but it’s the first time the wind looks workable.
Tuesday the 28th is where we start to see some light. The swell drops to 10ft from the SW with a long 14-second period (4122 energy). Tuesday morning the wind swings to a light offshore from the ENE, making for clean conditions. This is the first real standout for experienced surfers. Tuesday afternoon turns glassy, with no wind at all. That is the moment to be there. Clean, long-period groundswell. The period is a bit long for a beach break, but on this reef, it should line up beautifully.
Wednesday the 29th is smaller again, with an 8ft SW swell (3105 energy) in the morning. A cross-offshore breeze keeps it clean, but it’s a bit marginal. The afternoon drops to 6.5ft from the SSW (2306 energy) with a light cross-offshore. It’s clean but smaller.
Thursday the 30th sees the swell back to 6ft from the SW (2130 energy). A moderate morning cross-offshore keeps things clean, but it’s marginal. It’s a day for a smaller board.
Friday the 31st, the wind turns ugly again. An 8ft SW swell (3552 energy) gets torn up by a fresh cross-onshore. Not your day.
Saturday the 1st of August is another windy one. A 13ft SW groundswell (7276 energy) is met with a strong cross-shore. It’s messy, but there’s a chance the afternoon could clean up a little with the wind easing. Still, it's marginal.
Sunday the 2nd is a write-off. An 11.5ft SW swell (5010 energy) with a cross-onshore wind making it choppy.
Now, here comes the really interesting part. Monday the 3rd of August looks fantastic. The swell drops to 8ft from the SW (1737 energy) and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the NE. Clean conditions for experienced surfers. Monday afternoon gets even better with a 6.2ft SW swell (1616 energy) and glassy conditions. That’s your second standout window. Absolutely beautiful.
Tuesday the 4th is a step back. An 8ft to 10ft SW swell (3232 to 4310 energy) with a cross-onshore breeze. Choppy.
Wednesday the 5th of August is a wild card. The swell jumps to 14.8ft from the W (7319 energy) with a fresh cross-shore wind. It's lumpy, but it's big and powerful for the experts.
Then, we look towards the end of the forecast. Thursday the 6th of August is a day of serious size and potential. The morning kicks off with a 13ft WSW groundswell with a ridiculous 17-second period (11905 energy) and a gentle cross-offshore breeze. The conditions are described as exceptional for experts. That is a massive, clean, long-period groundswell. However, Thursday afternoon sees the swell explode to a massive 26ft from the WSW (20273 energy). It is simply too big for this break, even at an exposed reef. For the experienced charger, that early morning window on the 6th is the ultimate prize, but the afternoon is for watching only.
Friday the 7th through Monday the 10th is a continuous run of massive, dangerous swell. We’re talking 19.7ft to 28ft from the WSW (18473 to 38951 energy) with strong cross-onshore or onshore winds. This is pure, raw power. For 99.9% of surfers, this is not a surf day. For the select few with big-wave gear and a death wish, maybe. The setup would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
If you’re an experienced surfer, your best windows are Tuesday the 28th for that clean, glassy long-period groundswell, and Monday the 3rd of

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.
