Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim start for the next week and a half. The Groin (Noosa) is looking at a real flat spell. For the first ten days or so, there’s nothing worth paddling out for – just tiny, weak dribbles and a lot of wind. You’ll be waiting a long time. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is about a degree and a half colder than usual for this time of year, so you’ll feel that nip.
The only real glimmer in this whole 16-day window shows up on Tuesday the 21st of July. We’ve got a pulse of moderate energy swell (256) pushing in from the ESE, with waves around 4ft. The period is a solid 10 seconds, so there’s a bit of shape to it, but it’s a cross-off breeze from the SSE, so it won’t be perfect. The combined energy drops to 191 by the afternoon with 4ft waves. It’s still surfable, but it’s not a standout by any stretch – just the best of a bad lot. The winds are moderate, so expect a bit of bump.
After that, it fades back into the small stuff for the rest of the month. The 24th shows a little bump of 2ft from the ESE with a long 11-second period, but the energy is low (104) and the wind is cross-off. It’s ordinary. The 25th is similar, and by the 26th, the wind swings onshore and chops it up.
So, if you’re desperate, the 21st of July is your only real shot. The Groin is a breakwater, so it handles a bit of direction, and the ENE optimum swell direction is close enough to the ESE we’re getting. But don’t expect anything special. Crowds are often here, so you won’t be alone.
Rusty.

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 The Groin (Noosa) 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.
