Table - best surf conditions forecast for Noises over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is your local surf outlook for the Noises, a reef break that takes a serious swell from the WSW.
The water temperature feels about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
We’ve got a bit of a wait, honestly. The first few days are a mixed bag of conditions that are just not worth paddling out for. Friday the 24th has some clean surf, but the swell is a touch wonky and the tide’s a problem. Saturday the 25th looks even worse as the wind swings cross and chops it up. Sunday the 26th is a write-off with a 25-34 mph onshore wind turning the place into a washing machine. That pattern keeps up through Monday, with huge, stormy, chunky swell.
The first real standout comes on Tuesday the 28th. The morning kicks off with a clean 10 ft SW swell, light offshore breeze from the east, and the combined energy is a solid 3638 (moderate energy). The afternoon is even better – glassy conditions, zero wind, 8 ft SW swell. This is excellent for experienced surfers, but at 8 ft, it’s definitely not for beginners. The water will be smooth and the waves will have some real power.
Wednesday the 29th looks okay, but not as good as Tuesday. The swell drops a bit and the wind picks up from the north, putting a bit of a cross-chop on the surface.
The end of the week and into the weekend sees a massive jump in size. Friday the 31st of July has a 15 ft to 16 ft SW swell with a 17-second period. That’s a very long period groundswell. The energy is huge (12941 and 13147), but the wind is cross or cross-on, making it messy. This is massive, powerful swell, and given the reef setup, it could be phenomenal for experts, but the wind is not cooperating. The following Saturday and Sunday (August 1st and 2nd) have similar size and even cleaner conditions with a cross-off wind, but the swell is still enormous (18 ft). At over 8 ft, this is expert-only territory, and the long period will make the sets powerful and unruly at a beach break, but on a reef like this, it could be a standout session for the brave.
After that, the swell backs down through Monday and Tuesday, but the wind turns onshore again, shutting it down. The long-range window from the 5th to the 8th of August looks like a complete loss with stormy, onshore winds and giant, messy swell.
The best window: Without a doubt, Tuesday the 28th of July is the pick. The morning has a clean 10 ft swell from the SW with an offshore breeze, and the afternoon is glassy. The water will be clean, the waves have punch, and the conditions are prime for experienced surfers. The second standout is a bit of a gamble: the 31st of July and August 1st have massive, long-period groundswell, but the wind is a factor. If the wind plays nice, it’ll be a beast of a day for experts only.
This is a long-range forecast, so the stuff in early August is a bit of a promise rather than a certainty. Keep an eye on the wind.

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.
