Noises Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at Noises. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way, but the wind is going to be a real mixed bag, so you’ll need to pick your windows carefully. The standout window looks to be Monday the 14th of September, with a real clean-up happening if you’re an experienced surfer. Otherwise, it’s a lot of onshore wind and lumpy conditions, especially after the first weekend.

Thursday the 10th kicks things off with a 6.9 ft SW swell and a 14-second period, combined energy of 2327 (moderate). Wind is a cross-off from the NE at 15.5 mph, so it’s clean. The call is marginal, though – might be a bit tricky with tide. By the afternoon, the swell drops slightly to 6.6 ft, still from the WSW with a 15-second period (2109 energy). A light NNW breeze keeps it cross and clean, but still marginal.

Friday the 11th rolls in with a 6.9 ft WSW swell, 16-second period, and energy jumping to 3401 (moderate to strong). Morning wind is cross-off from the NNE at 18.6 mph, so it’s clean but a bit breezy. The afternoon gets interesting – swell pushes up to 9.8 ft from the WSW, 18-second period, and 4741 energy (strong). Wind goes N at 15.5 mph, but it’s cross, and there’s a cross-chop. Still marginal, but the swell is there.

Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are write-offs. Onshore wind from the W and WNW, 15.5–18.6 mph, with onshore and cross-on conditions. Swell is 7.9 ft to 11.5 ft, but it’s all onshore and lumpy – zero scores. Don’t bother.

Now, Monday the 14th is where it gets real. The morning is the standout. A 13.1 ft SW swell, 14-second period, and massive energy at 5891 (very strong). Wind is from the NE at just 3.1 mph – cross-off and glassy. That’s exceptional for expert surfers only; 13.1 ft is well over 8.2 ft, so this is for experienced crew only. The afternoon drops to marginal, with a 9.3 mph S breeze making a slight cross-chop. Still a 13.1 ft swell, but the wind’s not as clean.

Tuesday the 15th has a 9.8 ft SW swell, 14-second period, and 4010 energy (strong). The morning is the pick, with a SSE breeze at 6.2 mph, cross-off, and clean – excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon gets a fresh SSE breeze at 18.6 mph, still cross-off and clean, but it’s marginal.

Wednesday the 16th sees the swell drop to 8.2 ft–9.8 ft, with cross-on winds and small wind ripples. Not the best.

Thursday the 17th turns ugly again – strong N wind at 21.7–24.9 mph, cross, with a 6.6 ft WSW swell. Poor.

Friday the 18th is onshore gales from the WNW at 31.1 mph, with rain. Don’t even look at it.

Saturday the 19th improves slightly in the afternoon – 8.2 ft W swell, 14-second period, 3413 energy, with a SSW breeze at 12.4 mph, cross. Marginal but possible.

Sunday the 20th has a 11.5 ft SW swell, 14-second period, and 4270 energy. Morning is light cross-on from the NNW at 6.2 mph – marginal with small ripples. Afternoon goes onshore from the WNW.

Monday the 21st is a write-off – strong cross-onshore winds at 24.9–28 mph, rain, and 13.1 ft swell. Messy.

Tuesday the 22nd stays poor, with fresh cross-onshore winds and 8.2 ft–9.8 ft swell.

Wednesday the 23rd afternoon shows some hope – 7.9 ft SW swell, 14-second period, 2161 energy, with a SSE breeze at 12.4 mph, cross-off and clean. Marginal but cleaner.

Thursday the 24th morning has a smaller 5.9 ft SW swell, 13-second period, and 1176 energy (weak). Light N breeze at 6.2 mph, cross – small ripples. Marginal.

Friday the 25th morning brings a 8.2 ft SW swell, 18-second period, and 4682 energy (strong). Wind is from the WSW at just 3.1 mph, cross-on but with light ripples – marginal but promising.

The best on offer is Monday morning the 14th of September at Noises – 13.1 ft SW swell, glassy cross-off wind, and exceptional conditions for experts only. Second pick is Tuesday morning the 15th – 9.8 ft SW swell, clean
