The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s coming our way at Noises.
We’ve got a run of solid, groundswell-driven surf on the cards here, but honestly, the first week is a bit of a write-off for clean, paddleable waves. The onshore and cross-onshore winds are going to be a major problem. The water is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The action kicks off on Thursday, July 30th, but it’s pretty average. We’re looking at a 6ft SW swell with a 14-second period, giving us a hefty 2147 combined energy. The issue is a cross-on NW breeze at 9 mph making it choppy. Not a great start.
Friday the 31st sees the swell jump to 12ft and then 13ft, with a very long 16-second period, pumping energy readings over 6600. But the wind is howling from the NW at 19-22 mph – it’s a fresh breeze, onshore, and it’s gonna be lumpy and messy. No good.
Saturday, August 1st, the swell hits 13-15ft from the SW, period at 14-15 seconds. The energy is massive (up to 10304), but the S/SSW wind is a moderate cross-shore, making it a mixed bag. Afternoon has a 7/10 score, but it’s still going to be cross-chop, so only for the keen and experienced.
Sunday, August 2nd, things get interesting. The swell drops to 10-12ft from the SW, period still a solid 13 seconds. The morning is clean with a NE cross-offshore breeze at 12 mph. The real standout is the Sunday afternoon: a glassy 10ft SW swell, with a light NNE breeze at only 6 mph, giving us clean conditions and a crisp 4154 energy reading. This is the best window in the whole first week. Get out there.
Monday, August 3rd, the morning is glassy – a light SE breeze of 3 mph – with a 7ft, long-period SW swell at 15 seconds. The energy is down at 1994, but if you are looking for a clean, smaller session, that’s your window for experienced surfers. The afternoon turns to a cross-shore chop.
From Tuesday, August 4th, right through to Monday, August 10th the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is pumping hard. A huge pulse arrives on Wednesday, August 5th with a 15ft SW swell (16-second period, energy 9884) but it’s with a cross-onshore wind. The afternoon has a slight offshore, but it’s still onshore. Another big pulse hits Friday, August 7th and Saturday, August 8th, where the swell goes over 20ft, and the wind is a strong to near-gale cross-onshore, making it blown out. It’s too big and too messy for paddle surfing. Honestly, that bit looks more like a kite session.
Sunday, August 9th, offers a slight reprieve with a 15-16ft SW swell at 15 seconds (energy 10516) and the wind backs off to a moderate cross-shore. It’s a 6-7/10, but still messy. Not a standout.
From Monday, August 10th onwards, the swell dips again, with 8ft to 10ft, but the wind is onshore from the W. A short period (8 seconds) pulse arrives on the 11th, but it’s a washout.
The last week, starting Wednesday, August 12th, is just absolute monster groundswell. We’re talking 21ft-25ft SW/WSW swells with very long periods of 18-19 seconds, producing energy readings of 38,739 and higher. The wind is strong and cross-onshore or onshore, and the comment warns that the swell is too big for this break. This is expert-only, and even then, only if you can handle a full-on beast. The last few days (13th-14th) are all onshore and massive.
Best on offer: The clear standout is Sunday, August 2nd afternoon and Monday, August 3rd morning. The combination of a large, long-period SW swell and light, glassy offshore-to-variable winds will deliver clean, powerful lines at this exposed reef. It’s a rare window of quality in an otherwise wild and windy period. Let’s be honest, a lot of this 16-day window is just too big and too windy to be fun for a paddle. There will be long gaps of several days where there’s no good recommendation.

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.
