The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough run for the Noosa region. The Groin (Noosa) is usually a reliable little bank, but the next 16 days are looking flat and uninspiring. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf ahead, with hardly anything to get excited about.

The water temperature is sitting at 69°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real chance to get wet comes on Saturday afternoon, July 25th. We’re looking at small 3 ft waves from the east with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy here is weak, only 117 (moderate wave energy), and the wind is a cross-offshore from the SSE. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Don’t expect much push or shape. Sunday morning, July 26th, is even smaller at 2 ft and the wave energy drops to 54 (weak). The wind is light, so it’ll be clean, but you’ll be scratching for anything.

After that, it’s a long, flat gap. From Monday, July 27th, all the way through to Thursday, August 6th, we’re looking at tiny, non-existent waves. The combined energy readings are in the single digits or low teens – that’s basically no wave energy at all. The wind is mostly cross-offshore, but it doesn’t matter when there’s nothing to ride. This is a real blank run.

The only faint glimmer of hope comes late on Thursday, August 6th. The afternoon shows a pulse of 2 ft swell from the ESE with a long period of 15 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 179 (moderate wave energy). That’s a groundswell, and it’ll be long-period, meaning it might wrap in a little better at The Groin, but it’s still tiny. The wind is from the SSE at 16 mph, so it’ll be cross-offshore and clean. It’s a promising hint, but it’s far out (over a week away), so don’t hold your breath.

Honestly, this is a period for checking the wax on your board and waiting. The setup is so small and weak, it’s barely worth a paddle. For the next week, the only thing consistent is the lack of surf. Keep an eye on the longer-range pulse, but for now, it’s a quiet one.

Rusty.

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.
