The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. The first action is on Thursday, 20 August. Noises is a reef break, and it’s soaking up a big groundswell. Thursday morning sees a solid 4.0m swell from the WSW, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s a bit choppy. The combined energy is extreme at 7197, so there’s heaps of power, but the surface is lumpy. The water is 19°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. Not the cleanest day unless you’re a seasoned local.
Friday 21 August is the gem. The morning is glassy – dead calm – and the swell drops to 3.5m from the WSW, with a 14-second period. The combined energy (5427) is still huge. This is exceptional conditions for expert surfers. The reef will be firing with long, powerful sets. The water is still a touch warmer than normal, so that’s a bonus. The afternoon gets a bit of a cross-onshore breeze, so the morning is the window.
Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 August are smaller. Saturday morning has 3.0m from the SW with a 16-second period, but the cross-onshore wind is back. The energy is down to 4301. Sunday is a bit more wind and smaller swell. It’s still rideable, but not the quality of Friday.
Monday 24 August has a 3.0m morning from the SW with a light cross breeze, but the energy is dropping to 2837. It’s a marginal day.
Then the wheels fall off. From Tuesday 25 August through to Thursday 3 September, it’s poor. The wind goes onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell gets big – 5.0m on Wednesday 26 August with a 17-second period and 40 km/h winds. The combined energy goes over 13,000, but it’s a messy, dangerous mess. That’s over a week of no good surf. Kite surfers might be interested, but for paddle surfers, it’s a hard pass.
Friday 4 September shows a bit of hope. The swell is 4.0m from the SW with a 15-second period, and the wind is light onshore. The energy is still huge at 7562, but it’s marginal. It’s the best we’ve seen in a while, but it’s not the standout.
The only true standout is the Friday 21 August morning session at Noises. Glassy, 3.5m, 14-second groundswell, and a reef that loves that WSW direction. It’s for experts only, so be ready. The water is a touch warmer than normal, which is awesome. Get on it early.

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.
