The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a flat spell for the Noosa region, specifically around The Groin (Noosa). There’s no decent surf on the cards for the entire 16-day outlook. We’re talking a solid run of nothing worth paddling out for.
Right now, starting Sunday the 26th of July, we’ve got tiny waves. Sunday morning sees a weak 1 ft ENE swell with a short 7-second period, and the combined energy is just 16 – barely a ripple. It’s clean with a light cross-off breeze, but there’s no power behind it. Sunday afternoon and through Monday and Tuesday are the same story: wave heights between 1.0 ft and 2 ft, short periods, and combined energy staying under 43. It’s clean, but it’s gutless. The Groin’s a fairly exposed spot, so it’s not like it’s shielded from what’s out there – there just isn’t anything.
By Wednesday the 29th, we see a slight bump, but it’s still rubbish. Wednesday morning has a 3 ft E swell at a weak 6 seconds, combined energy at 63, but it’s poor quality and cross-shore wind messes it up. Thursday the 30th offers the only glimmer – a tiny 1.0 ft ESE groundswell with a 13-second period, light SSW offshore wind, and combined energy of 66. The forecast calls it “surfable but very ordinary,” and honestly, that’s about the best we get. The long period means the sets will be clean and spaced out, but with barely knee-high waves, it’s a long paddle for a waist-high wave.
From there, it’s all downhill. Friday the 31st through to Monday the 10th of August sees wave heights mostly under 1 ft, combined energy dropping as low as 3, and a lot of moderate breezes keeping things choppy. Even the glassy patch on Tuesday the 4th of August morning – light SSW wind, combined energy of 23 – only offers a 2 ft, 5-second windswell. Too weak to even call it a wave. Tuesday afternoon that tiny energy drops to 3. It’s a dead period.
So, there’s no standout session, no hidden gem. This is a real blank run for the area. The Groin just isn’t getting any love. Hang in there – forecasts change, but for now, save the wax.
Rusty.

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.
