The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down, but in feet and miles per hour this time.
We’re looking at The Groin (Noosa) – a little breakwater wave that’s perfect for beginners when it’s tiny. Unfortunately, the next 16 days are mostly a desert.
Starting Wednesday the 2nd of September, there’s nothing. Waves are barely 2 ft from the east, with a cross-onshore breeze messing it up. Water temp is 68°, a little cooler than normal for this time of year.
Thursday and Friday are even smaller, around 1 ft, and even with some glassy conditions Friday morning, there’s just no power – the combined energy is only 49, which is dead.
The first week is a total washout. The only tiny glimmer is Monday the 7th of September, with 2 ft NE swell and a clean cross-off wind. It’s rideable but nothing special.
Things finally get interesting around Saturday the 12th of September into Sunday the 13th. The swell bumps up to 4-5 ft from the ENE, with a period of 7-8 seconds. The combined energy hits 120 on Saturday and then jumps to 232 on Sunday morning – that’s moderate energy, real waves for this spot. Sunday morning the 13th is the pick of the whole outlook: 5 ft ENE swell and glassy conditions. That’ll be clean and fun. Expect a crowd, though – only wave in town.
After that, the swell sticks around but the wind gets messy again through Monday and Tuesday the 14th and 15th. By Thursday the 17th of September, we see a 5 ft easterly swell with a clean cross-off SSE breeze, and combined energy hits 258 – that’s strong. But that’s 15 days out, so it’s promising but not locked in.
Bottom line: the window is tight. Sunday the 13th morning is your best bet for a clean, fun session. Thursday the 17th morning could be bigger, but that’s a long way off.

Information about the The Groin (Noosa) Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for The Groin (Noosa) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at The Groin (Noosa) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our The Groin (Noosa) 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 (The Groin (Noosa)) 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 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.
