The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve had a proper look at the charts for Noosa Main Beach and I’m not gonna lie to you – it’s pretty flat out there for the next two weeks. The one spot we’ve got on the cards just isn’t going to fire. We’re looking at a long stretch of ordinary conditions with no real standouts at all.
The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year at 69°F, so no surprises there.
For this Saturday, the 29th of August, we’ve got a tiny 2ft easterly windswell with an 8-second period. The combined swell energy is a weak 36, and it’s coming in with a moderate cross-off breeze. It’s clean-looking, but the size is just too small to bother.
Sunday the 30th is more of the same, with 2ft and a fresh cross-off wind making things bumpy. The combined energy is still weak at 64. Not worth paddling out.
Monday the 31st stays small, 1 to 2ft, with a messy 6-second period and rain showers. That’s a no-go.
Tuesday the 1st of September sees a slight bump – 3ft from the ESE, combined energy of 114 (moderate) and a light cross-off breeze. The report says it’s surfable but very ordinary. Honestly, it’s the best of a bad bunch, and that’s saying something.
From Wednesday the 2nd right through to Sunday the 13th of September, it’s a non-stop run of tiny swell, mostly under 3ft, with cross-on or onshore winds. The biggest day is Sunday the 13th afternoon, with 5ft from the ESE and a 6-second period – combined energy of 160 – but it’s still marked as poor surf conditions with light cross-onshore wind. That’s a joke.
There’s no standout day here, not even close. All the scores are zero. The consistency is “fairly consistent” but consistently tiny. Beginners might have a splash on the Tuesday morning, but I wouldn't bother.
Keep the board in the car and check back. Forecasts change, but right now, Noosa Main Beach is a write-off.
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 Noosa Main Beach 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.
