The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about what’s coming. We’ve got a solid run of swell, but the wind is going to be a real problem for most of the month. The water is at 19°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The spot to watch is Noises (reef). The first real chance of something decent is on Wednesday morning, August 5th. A 5.0m SW groundswell with a 16-second period is pumping in, and the combined energy is 11376. But it’s a gamble with the wind onshore from the WSW. The afternoon gets a little better with a lighter NW cross-on breeze.
Thursday and Friday, August 6th and 7th, are pretty much a bust. The swell holds, but the wind gets nasty with fresh to strong onshore breezes.
Saturday, August 8th, is a major red flag. We’re looking at a 6.5m to 7.0m SW groundswell, with a massive combined energy (17178 to 23324). It’s flagged as too big for this break, and with a strong cross-onshore wind, it’s an expert-only situation, and even then it’s rough. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There’s a long stretch of poor conditions from Sunday, August 9th, through to the end of the second week. The swell stays above 3.5m almost constantly, but the wind is cross-onshore or onshore, with moderate to fresh breezes. The scores are consistently low.
The next real standout window is much later. On Monday, August 17th, a massive 7.5m to 8.0m swell from the WSW arrives, with combined energy hitting 19964 to 26003. Again, it’s flagged as too big for the break, and the wind is onshore. The following morning, Tuesday, August 18th, sees a 6.5m swell with a lighter WSW breeze, still cross-onshore, but the energy is huge (22447). It’s still too big for all but the most experienced.
Looking further ahead, Wednesday, August 19th, offers a slight glimmer. A 5.0m WSW swell with a 16-second period and a light N cross-shore breeze. The combined energy is 11936, and the score is decent. The morning is the best of the whole run, but it’s a long-range call, so treat it as promising but not a lock.
Summing it up: the wave energy is consistently strong, but the wind is the enemy. There’s no clean, easy session in the entire 16 days. The best bet is Wednesday morning, August 5th, for those who can handle the size and the onshore wind, or the long-shot on Wednesday, August 19th.

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.
