Noises Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Noises. This is a reef break that’s exposed to the swell, consistent, and it likes the swell from the WSW. The water temperature is 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – not a huge deal, but you might notice it.

The first few days are a bit of a write-off. Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st are onshore and cross-shore, with messy conditions. The swell is around 8ft to 8ft from the SW, but the wind is on it, and the quality is poor. It’s not worth paddling out for.

Then we get a nice window on Wednesday the 22nd. The morning is clear, with a light offshore wind from the ESE at 6 mph, and a solid 8ft SW groundswell with a very long period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is strong (4931). The waves will be clean, powerful, and well-shaped – excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon bumps up to 12ft from the SW, period 14 seconds, still clean with a cross-offshore breeze. That’s a standout session, but it’s big enough that only experienced crew should be out there.

Thursday the 23rd is still worth a look. The morning has a cross-offshore breeze from the NE at 12 mph, with 8ft SW swell at 14 seconds. The afternoon is the real gem: glassy conditions, with the wind dropping to 3 mph from the NE, and 8ft SW swell at 13 seconds. Clean, glassy, and a bit smaller – that’s a great session for anyone comfortable at that size.

Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th offer smaller waves around 5ft to 6ft from the SW, with cross-offshore winds. The energy drops to moderate (around 859 to 1259), but it’s clean. Decent for a quieter session, but nothing to get too excited about.

Sunday the 26th is a mixed bag. The morning is a cross-shore mess with a short-period 7ft W swell at 8 seconds – that’s a kite-surfing setup, not a paddle-surfing one. The afternoon, however, picks up to 12ft WSW swell at 12 seconds, clean with a cross-offshore breeze, and energy is strong (4490). That’s a big, clean wave for the experienced.

Now, here’s a long-range standout: Monday the 27th morning. The swell jumps to 15ft from the SW at 13 seconds, with a cross-offshore breeze from the N at 22 mph. The combined energy is huge (7200). That’s a heavy, powerful swell for experts only. It’s a week out, so keep an eye on it, but it looks promising.

The rest of the week into early August is a mix of onshore winds and large, messy swell. There’s a window on Saturday the 1st of August morning: glassy conditions, 10ft SW swell at 15 seconds, energy strong (3755). That’s a clean, solid session for the experienced. The following days are mostly blown out or onshore, with poor conditions.

Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th of August bring a drop in size to around 4ft to 5ft from the SW, with clean cross-offshore winds. Energy is moderate (around 944 to 1336). It’s small but clean, okay for a longboard.

The best on offer is Wednesday the 22nd – the morning and afternoon are both excellent, with the morning being the standout for clean, powerful groundswell. The other big one to watch is Monday the 27th, but that’s for experts only.

Rusty.
