The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for Noises.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a short window of ridable surf kicking off Thursday morning, but this 16-day forecast is a real mixed bag. The next week and a half is dominated by big, powerful SW groundswells, but the wind is going to be our enemy for most of it. There are some serious pulses of energy, but you’ll be battling strong onshore and cross-onshore winds that will chop up the surface.
We start on Thursday, July 30th. The morning is your best bet early on, with a clean 5.9ft SW swell on a 14-second period. The combined energy is already into the strong range (1931), and we’ve got a light NNE cross-offshore breeze. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 66.0°F, which is a nice bonus. The afternoon sees the wind swing NNW and go cross-shore, bringing a bit of chop.
Friday, July 31st, sees a big jump in size to 11.5ft, but the wind is howling from the NW at 22 mph, making it a lumpy, cross-on mess. Not worth it. Saturday, August 1st, is a standout. The swell holds at 13.1ft, but the wind swings SSE in the afternoon, giving us a clean, cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is a massive 11723. That’s the best window all week, but at 13-16ft, this is strictly for the experienced crew. It’s not a day for beginners.
Sunday, August 2nd, drops a bit in size, but it’s still a solid 11.5ft in the morning with a clean NE cross-offshore breeze. The afternoon goes glassy with a light N wind, but the swell drops to 8.2ft.
From Monday, August 3rd, the wind starts to play up again. We get a few days of onshore wind and big swell, making it messy. It’s not until Saturday, August 9th, that we get another notable window. The swell is towering at 19.7ft from the SW with a 16-second period, and the wind is a moderate cross-shore from the SSW. The energy is enormous (16439). However, the forecast notes that the swell is simply too big for this break. That’s a “no-go” even for the experts.
The rest of the forecast into the second week is a slog. Big swells keep coming (13.1ft to 16.4ft), but the wind is predominantly onshore or cross-onshore, often up to gale force. There’s a brief window of clean conditions on Tuesday, August 11th, with a strong NNE cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is a smaller 8.2ft. The final days see a return to big, lumpy, cross-shore conditions.
Honestly, if you can nail the Saturday afternoon window on August 1st, that’s your best shot by a long way. It’s clean, it’s powerful, and it’s got the right direction. The rest of the time, we’re mostly watching the wind blow it out. For a setup like this, with the big, choppy conditions, it might be more interesting for the kite crowd than for paddle surfing.
That’s the long and short of it. 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.
