Alright, let’s talk Noosa in feet and miles per hour, because that’s how it’s done. We’re looking at a long, flat stretch stretching from Monday the 6th of July right through to Saturday the 18th of July – nearly two weeks with barely a ripple. The only real hope is a pulse that shows up Sunday the 19th of July, so keep your eyes on that.
The Groin (Noosa) is the only game in town. It’s a beginner-friendly breakwater that’s fairly consistent, but it’s often crowded – expect company. Water temp is about 69°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Let’s walk through the timeline. Sunday morning, July 19th, is the big moment. Swell hits 7ft from the ESE, period around 9 seconds – a solid groundswell. Combined wave energy is 711, moderate-to-strong. The wind is offshore from the SSW at 12 mph, so glassy and clean. The Groin prefers ENE, but ESE is close enough for some nice lines. At 7ft, it’s a bit much for beginners, but intermediates will love it. That’s the one to chase.
Sunday afternoon drops to 6ft from the E, 8-second period, still offshore wind at 6 mph. Energy’s at 534 – still a good session, but the morning is the standout.
Monday the 20th of July morning offers 5ft from the E, 8-second period, offshore wind at 9 mph. Energy drops to 241. It’s clean and surfable, but nothing special. After that, it fades fast. Tuesday the 21st of July sees only 3ft from the NE with short period – not worth the paddle.
Bottom line: a long flat spell, then one killer day on Sunday the 19th of July morning. Make it count.

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.
