Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Noosa.
To be straight with you, mate, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The forecast is showing a long gap with no proper surf on offer right through the first week and a bit. From Friday the 10th all the way through to Wednesday the 22nd, there’s barely a ripple worth paddling for. Tiny stuff, short period, and mostly messy conditions. You’ll be looking at a lot of flat days and clean but useless water. Not worth wetting a wetsuit for.
The first real sign of life shows up on Wednesday the 22nd of July in the morning. Noosa Main Beach picks up a little 2ft swell from the NNW with a short 4-second period and a light offshore breeze from the south. The combined energy is only 11 (weak), so it’s not going to be any kind of standout. It’s small, weak, and the period is too short to hold open much of a face. Beginners might find a crumbly little wave, but don’t expect much.
Thursday the 23rd morning sees a similar 2ft swell from the east, 9-second period, with light offshore wind from the WSW. The combined energy bumps up to 45, still weak. Glassy conditions early, but the swell is tiny and inconsistent. It’s not going to be a session you remember.
Friday the 24th morning looks the best of a very average run. Noosa Main Beach has 1ft of east swell, 9-second period, and glassy conditions with a light westerly breeze. Combined energy sits at 27. It’s clean, small, and probably the closest thing to a fun little log wave you’ll get. The water temperature is 69°F, which is about a degree and a half colder than normal for this time of year, so expect a bit of a chill.
Saturday the 25th morning offers similar 1ft east swell, with a light offshore breeze from the WSW, and clean conditions. Again, tiny and weak, but if you’re desperate and have a longboard, you might get a few soft ones.
Overall, there’s no true standout here. The entire 16-day window is flat to tiny. The best bet is Friday the 24th morning for the cleanest conditions and the most usable little waves, but don’t go expecting barrels. It’s a longboard-only kind of outlook.
