The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. The first thing you need to know is that for the next week or so, the swell is going to be absolutely smoking, but it’s also going to be way too big for most of us. We’re looking at a classic case of “too much of a good thing” for a solid stretch.
The pick of the entire run, and the only time I’d really be getting excited, is the morning of Friday the 14th at Noises. It’s a reef break, so it handles the size, and the swell is dropping to a still-heavy 12 ft from the SW, with a very long period of 16 seconds. That groundswell will be peeling, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE. That’s clean, smooth, and glassy. The combined energy is still pumping at 5974 (moderate). This is for experts only – the size and power will be serious. A lot of that energy is coming from a second swell too, pushing the water temperature up to 68°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year.
The week before that, from the 8th of August through to the 11th, the swell is pushing 16 ft to 25 ft. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore and strong, 15 to 31 mph. It’s blown out and messy. Even though the combined energy is massive (22456 on the 8th morning), it’s not surfable for a paddle surfer. It’s more of a kite-surfing setup, to be honest.
From the 12th to the 13th, the swell drops to 13 ft to 15 ft, but the wind is still cross-onshore and the conditions are choppy. You’ll get a wave, but it’s not the good stuff. The morning of the 13th has a glassy moment with a light onshore breeze, but the swell is still big and lumpy.
After that Friday the 14th stand-out, the weekend of the 15th and 16th sees the swell drop right off to 8 ft to 13 ft, with the wind turning cross-offshore. It’s cleaner, but the energy is weak (2395 on the 15th morning). It’s marginal, not really worth the drive.
The window opens again on the 17th of August with a 16 ft SW swell and a very long period of 17 seconds. The wind is moderate cross-shore, so it’s not perfect, but it’s a solid wave. The energy is 14356, so there’s some power. It’s a bit of a gamble.
Then from the 18th to the 19th, we’re back into the too-big territory. The 18th morning has a 21 ft swell with 22 mph onshore winds – blown out. The 19th morning is interesting: a 21 ft WSW swell, very long period of 16 seconds, and a light cross-offshore from the NNE. That’s a clean, glassy, massive wave. The energy is 19927. It’s an expert-only session, but it’s a big, beautiful beast.
The 20th is a step down to 15 ft, cross-shore winds, and mediocre energy. And then the 21st to the 23rd is just a repeat of the first week – huge swell (18 ft to 25 ft) and strong, messy onshore winds. The 23rd afternoon has a 25 ft swell with 12 mph cross-onshore wind, but it’s still lumpy. The energy is 34137, which is massive, but it’s a complete washout for paddle surfing.
So, bottom line: the morning of Friday the 14th is your best bet. It’s clean, powerful, and just about manageable for the experienced. The 19th of August is a long-range promise of another big, clean day, but it’s a week away and could change. For the rest, it’s either too big and blown out, or too small and weak.

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.
