The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles per hour.
The Groin (Noosa) – It’s a tough stretch. For a good week and a half, you’re looking at flat to tiny surf with messy conditions. The total swell energy is mostly weak (under 100). We kick off Monday the 14th with a 4ft easterly swell, but the wind is cross-off and the period is short. By the afternoon it’s even worse.
Tuesday the 15th morning is the bright spot. The swell drops to 3ft from the east, but the wind goes glassy. Dead calm. That’s a golden chance for a clean, fun little session on a longboard. The energy is weak (59), so don’t expect power. After that, it’s nearly flat for days. We see heaps of 0.3ft junk with fresh southerly winds through the 17th and 18th. The longer period (13-16 seconds) shows up but with no size – barely a ripple.
We hit a big gap with no surf until the 24th of September. That Thursday afternoon a pulse comes in: 6ft from the ESE with a strong moderate energy reading of 454. But the wind is moderate onshore, so it’s choppy and only for experts.
Monday the 28th of September morning is your other decent call. Glassy again, dead calm, with a 3ft easterly swell (energy 111). The period is short at 7 seconds, but the clean surface makes it workable.
Best of the bunch? Tuesday the 15th morning for the glass, even with tiny waves. Tuesday the 29th morning is also clean. The 24th afternoon is the only time we see real size, but it’s not clean.
Water temp is normal for the time of year. The Groin usually picks up more than this, so it’s a quiet run. But forecasts change – it won’t stay this poor forever.
Rusty, over and out.

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.
