Table - best surf conditions forecast for The Groin (Noosa) over the next 16 days.
Alright crew, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are gonna test your patience. We’re looking at a long, drawn-out flat spell with nothing but small dribble for the foreseeable future.
We’re focusing on The Groin (Noosa) here. The water’s running a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 69°, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit if you’re heading out.
Right now, and for the rest of this week, it’s a dead loss. Wednesday and Thursday are showing zero surf with a stiff cross-off wind, and that carries right through to the end of next week. There’s a brief tease on Saturday, July 11th, with a tiny 1ft swell from the ESE showing up, combined energy is weak at just 41, and the wind goes offshore in the morning, but it’s just not enough to get excited about. That swell is gone by the afternoon.
Sunday the 12th offers a glassy afternoon with a pathetic 0.3ft from the NE, energy at 4. It’s pretty, but you won’t be surfing it. The pattern of tiny, near-micro waves continues day after day until we finally see a glimmer of hope.
For a standout, you have to look way down the line. The only real highlight in this whole outlook is the morning of Thursday, July 23rd. We get a 1.6ft swell from the East with a nice long period of 12 seconds, combined energy climbing to a still-modest 74. The wind is light and cross-off, which will keep things clean. It’s not big, but it’s the cleanest, most organised wave on offer in a very long time. The afternoon gets a little messy with a cross-shore, so make that morning session your target. It’s a long wait, and at this range it’s promising but not a lock, so keep your fingers crossed.
For now, find something else to do.

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.
