The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a serious run of swell on the way for Noises, but it’s a mixed bag. The standout window is tight, and you’ll need to pick your moments carefully.
The first real action kicks off on Friday, 21 August, with a big 11.5ft SW groundswell rolling in with a 14-second period. The wave energy is massive (5427), and the water temp is about average for this time of year. Friday morning is the absolute gem: glassy, zero wind, and that big SW swell. It’s a lot of water – over 8ft – so this is strictly for experts. Chopes-style power. The wind goes cross-shore by the afternoon, and the quality drops slightly, but the size holds.
Saturday, 22 August through Monday, 25 August is a write-off for clean conditions. The swell stays solid – 8ft to 10ft – but the wind is cross-shore or cross-onshore, and the sea state gets lumpy and choppy. The energy is still high (3000-4000 range), but the wind is just ruining the surface. Skip it.
Wednesday, 26 August is the big one. This is the true standout of the whole outlook. A massive 16.4ft WSW swell arrives with a very long 18-second period, and the energy reading is enormous (17607). The wind is only a light breeze from the south, cross-shore, so the surface is clean. This is a beast of a day. The swell is huge – over 8ft – so once again, experts only. The point break nature of Noises will handle that long period perfectly, keeping the waves from just closing out. Crowds are possible, but on a day this size, it’ll thin out the pack.
Thursday, 27 August sees the swell drop to 13-15ft, still with a 15-second period. The wind is a fresh SSE cross-offshore, keeping the waves clean. It’s still very big, and the energy is still high (6623-8693). Solid, but not quite as epic as Wednesday.
From Friday, 28 August onwards, the wind turns onshore or creates lumpy conditions, and the quality plummets straight into the dirt. There’s a brief window on Wednesday, 2 September and Thursday, 3 September where the swell is back up to 13-15ft with moderate cross-shore winds, but it’s not the same. The water will be choppy, and the energy is high but the surface is messy. The end of the run into 5 September shows a 16.4ft SW swell with 18-second period and light onshore wind – that’s promising but the wind direction is wrong, so it’s a question mark.
So to wrap it up: Wednesday, 26 August is your day. The combination of size, period, and clean wind is a rare thing. Friday the 21st morning is also a classic. The rest is for the die-hards or the kite surfers when the wind gets strong.
Stay safe out there.

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.
