The Lowdown
Alright, let’s run through it again in feet and miles per hour.
A proper rollercoaster ahead. For a reef that can handle a big one, you’ve got to wait for the stars to align. The water’s running a touch warm at 66°F, about 3°F above the norm for this time of year – you’ll feel the difference.
Noises (reef) kicks off Tuesday, August 25th, but it’s a write-off. There’s a solid 8–10 ft SW swell, but a strong 25 mph northwesterly wind is trashing it. The combined energy is huge – 2910 on Tuesday morning, climbing to 3721 in the afternoon – but it’s all messy and blown out. Nothing to see here.
Wednesday the 26th gets your heart going. A 16 ft WSW groundswell with a very long 18-second period is moving in. The energy is monstrous – 14733 in the morning, 15372 in the afternoon. The wind swings SSE at 15 mph and goes cross-off, cleaning it right up. The afternoon is clean, but at this size this reef is for top-tier experts only. The long period means longer lulls, so paddling out is easier, but don't even think about it unless you know what you're doing.
Thursday the 27th still has a solid 13 ft SW swell (15-second period) with the same clean SSE cross-off wind. Energy is still strong at 6996 in the morning. The sets are big and waiting, but the wind picks up to a fresh breeze, so the surface isn't as glassy. A good session for the crew who live on this reef.
Friday the 28th fades quickly. The swell drops to 7 ft (12-second period) and the wind stays cross-off, but it’s low on power. Energy is down to 1227–1495. It’s marginal, rideable, but not memorable.
Then comes Saturday, August 29th – the best of the lot. The morning is still a bit lumpy with a 7 ft SW swell (16 seconds, 3814 energy), but the afternoon is magic. The swell picks up to 11 ft SW with a very long 18-second period and the wind goes light SSE cross-off. Energy at 6697. It’s clean, glassy, and powerful – exceptional for experienced surfers. Be there.
Sunday the 30th is a step back. Still a 10 ft swell, but the wind goes light and cross-shore from the north, then cross-onshore from the NW in the afternoon. The waves are there, but the wind messes with them.
Monday the 31st has a clean window in the morning – 8 ft WSW swell (17 seconds) with an offshore west wind. Nice corners possible. But by the afternoon, the wind picks up cross-onshore and it gets choppy and poor.
From September 1st to the 3rd, it’s messy. Swells hold at 7–13 ft, but the wind is mostly onshore or rough. The energy stays high, but it’s lumpy and disappointing.
Thursday the 3rd through Sunday the 6th is a big, ugly stretch. 13–16 ft SW swells with near gale-force winds. 13716 energy on Saturday the 5th – it’s massive, but completely blown out. This is kite-surfing weather.
Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th start to settle. The swell drops to 8 ft, and on Tuesday morning the 8th the wind goes light from the southeast (cross-off) and it cleans right up. Energy down to 1878 – not huge, but clean and good for experienced surfers.
Then Wednesday, September 9th delivers another good window. A 10 ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, light offshore NNE breeze (near glassy), and clean conditions. Excellent for experienced crew. The energy is 4331, but the quality is in the shape and stillness of the air.
The afternoon of the 9th gets messy again as the wind turns cross-onshore.
Bottom line: Don’t bother before the 29th unless you’re chasing big, clean power. The absolute standout is Saturday afternoon, August 29th – 11 ft SW, 18 seconds, light SSE cross-off wind, and clean. That’s the one. The other good windows are the 8th and 9th of September, but they’re smaller and more manageable.
Crowds at Noises can show up sometimes, so on those clean days expect a few others in the lineup.

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.
