The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the next week and a half is a proper battle at Noises. If you’re an expert and you’ve got a death wish, there’s a couple of days that’ll get your heart pumping, but for the average punter, it’s a write-off. The swell is massive, the wind is on it, and it’s a reef break that’s just not playing nice.
It kicks off on Wednesday, 5th August. There’s a big 16ft SW groundswell running, with a long 16-second period. The energy is pumping – we’re talking 11376, it’s strong. But the wind is on it from the W at 9 mph, so it’s messy. I’d call it marginal, but the tide is a worry. Thursday and Friday are a total loss. The wind kicks up to 19-25 mph, and the swell stays around 13ft. It’s onshore and lumpy, just horrible. Don’t bother.
Saturday, 8th August, is where it gets wild. The swell jumps to 23ft from the SW, with energy readings of 18939 in the morning and a massive 25113 in the afternoon. That’s a massive amount of energy, but it’s too big for this reef. The wind is a strong cross-onshore, so it’s messy and dangerous. Only for absolute experts, and even then, it’s a risk. Sunday and Monday follow the same pattern – Monday afternoon sees a 28ft SW swell with an 18-second period, and energy hits 44386. That’s ridiculous. The wind is cross-shore, but it’s lumpy and brutal. The crowds are “sometimes” here, but with this size, you’ll have the place to yourself because no one’s that stupid.
The rest of the first week into the second week is a grind. From Tuesday, 11th August, through to the 15th, it’s mostly poor or marginal. The swell drops a bit to 12ft to 15ft, but the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, and the periods are still long (15-16 seconds). The energy is moderate to strong (between 6534 and 8159), but the conditions are just not there. The best of this bad bunch might be Wednesday, 12th August, morning, with a 13ft SW swell, 16-second period, and a gentle onshore breeze. It’s still marginal, but at least it’s not blowing a gale.
The real standout? Honestly, there isn’t a good one in the 16-day window for a paddle surfer. The swell is too big and the wind is wrong. If you’re a kite surfer, Saturday, 8th August, with that 23ft swell and strong cross-onshore wind, might look interesting. But for us, it’s a no-go. The water temp is about average for this time of year, no weird anomalies to report.
The second week is a write-off. From 15th August onwards, it’s more of the same: 15ft to 18ft swells, strong winds, and poor conditions. The only spot of light is Wednesday, 19th August, where the wind drops to a light 6 mph cross-onshore with a 13ft SW swell. It’s still marginal, but it’s the cleanest it’ll be. Still, I wouldn’t wet a suit for it.
No magic here. The forecast can change, but right now, it’s a big, angry ocean. Stay safe.
Rusty.

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.
