Noises Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, grab a coffee, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Noises. This is a reef break suited for advanced surfers, exposed to the swell and picking up a solid SW groundswell all through the window. The water is sitting at 66.6° which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might be able to go a little thinner on the rubber.

The first real chance to get wet won’t be until Thursday the 23rd of July. It’s not a standout, but there’s a clean 8.2ft SW swell with a 14-second period pushing through on Thursday morning. The wind is a cross-off from the NE at 12 mph, keeping things tidy. The combined energy is strong at 2893. Thursday afternoon sees the swell drop a touch to 7.9ft, but the wind swings to a light NNW cross-on, so it’s a bit messy with small ripples.

Friday the 24th has a smaller 5.6ft SW swell at 12 seconds in the morning, with a clean cross-off breeze. The energy drops to moderate (964). Friday afternoon is a little better with 5.2ft and clean conditions, but nothing to write home about.

Saturday the 25th picks up a bit with 5.9ft SW swell at 13 seconds, but the wind is a stiff 16 mph cross-off, keeping it clean but a bit bumpy. Saturday afternoon goes cross-shore with the same breeze, droppin’ to 3.9ft – not worth paddling out for.

Then we get a wild one. Sunday the 26th of July: a big 14.8ft WSW swell hits in the morning, but the wind is a nasty 22 mph SSW cross, and the energy is very strong at 4668. The surf is poor. Sunday afternoon’s a different story – 18.0ft SW swell at 13 seconds, energy through the roof at 9491, and a moderate cross-shore wind. That’s big, heavy, and only for the brave. This is too big for beginners and only for experts if they’re on.

Monday the 27th is excellent for experienced surfers: 13.1ft SW at 12 seconds in the morning with a light cross-off breeze, clean. Energy is high at 4396. Monday afternoon holds at 11.5ft with the same clean conditions. That’s a solid day.

Tuesday the 28th has a 9.8ft SW swell at 14 seconds, morning cross-off from the NE. It’s clean but the energy is still strong (3683). Tuesday afternoon drops to 8.2ft, still clean.

Wednesday the 29th is a bit of a write-off: 7.5ft SW at a long 17 seconds, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-off, so it’s clean but bumpy. The long period will make this a bit weird at the reef – long gaps between sets. Wednesday afternoon gets messy with a cross-shore.

Now for the standout. Thursday the 30th of July: a glassy morning with 4.9ft SW swell at 15 seconds. The wind is a glassy 3 mph from the NNW. That’s clean, smooth, and the energy is moderate (1757). This is the best on offer for the first week. The crowd is known to be there sometimes, but with conditions this good, expect company.

Friday the 31st of July: a big 11.5ft SW swell at 18 seconds in the morning – very long period, very strong energy at 8507. The wind is a light cross-shore, so it’s only slightly rippled. That’s a big, powerful groundswell. Friday afternoon holds at 13.1ft SW at 16 seconds, energy at 8378, with a gentle cross-shore. This is another standout for experts.

Saturday the 1st of August: morning has a 13.1ft SW swell at 15 seconds, with a moderate offshore wind from the ESE at 12 mph. That’s exceptional for experts. The energy is very strong at 6299. Saturday afternoon bumps to 14.8ft, still clean with a cross-off breeze, energy at 11410 – a true monster.

Sunday the 2nd of August: 13.1ft SW at 15 seconds, morning clean with a 9 mph cross-off. Energy is 7891. Sunday afternoon is 11.5ft, but the wind picks up to 19 mph, still cross-off, so it’s a bit howling but clean.

Monday the 3rd of August: 9.8ft SW at 15 seconds, morning offshore from the E at 16 mph – clean and lined up. Energy is 4651. Monday afternoon is 11.5ft, still offshore, and exceptional for experts.

Tuesday the 4th of August: 11.5ft SW at 16 seconds, morning cross-off from the ENE at 19 mph – clean but windy. Energy is 6922. Tuesday afternoon is 13.1ft
