Noosa Main Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s going down over the next couple of weeks for Noosa Main Beach.

Straight up, I’ll level with you – it’s a grim run. There’s nothing to get excited about. The forecast shows a long, dry spell with no real surf to speak of. We’re looking at a gap that stretches from now, Saturday the 11th of July, all the way through to Tuesday the 21st of July with absolutely nothing worthwhile. Just flat, green water and clean conditions, which is nice for a paddle but useless for a wave.

There’s a tiny blip on Wednesday the 22nd of July – we’re talking a weak 0.3 ft swell out of the NNE with a short period of just 4 seconds. Combined energy is a pathetic 4 (weak). It’s clean in the morning with a light cross-offshore breeze, but honestly, this is barely a ripple. Not worth dragging your board down for.

Later, on Friday the 24th of July, there’s a little pulse from the east with a 0.7 ft swell and a period of 16 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell. Energy reaches just 24 (weak). While the long period can mean better shaped waves at a point or reef, at a beach break like Noosa Main it can break too straight. Still, with a cross-offshore breeze in the afternoon, it’ll be clean. But you’ve got to be realistic – 0.7 ft is tiny. For beginners, it might be a fun little knee-slapper, but there’s no power behind it.

The water temperature is around 69°F, which is about average for this time of year – no surprises there.

Look, the bottom line is this: Noosa Main Beach is a total write-off for the next 16 days. There’s nothing that gets the heart pumping. The wind is often offshore or cross-offshore, so the conditions will be pretty, but the swell just isn’t showing up. It’s one of those quiet runs that happens sometimes in this area. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave the board in the shed.

Rusty.
