The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Noosa Main Beach in proper measurements.
Mate, it’s a pretty dry spell. The first few days, Monday 20th through Tuesday 21st, are rubbish – strong cross-off winds and no swell to speak of. Don’t bother.
Wednesday 22nd July afternoon finally shows a pulse: 1.6m (that’s about 5 feet) easterly swell at 9 seconds, with combined energy of 411 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-off, so it’ll be clean. Water temp is about normal for this time of year. That afternoon is the best you’ll get – small, but rideable.
Thursday 23rd morning is glassy with 1.2m (4 feet) east swell (8 seconds) and 196 energy (moderate). It’s surfable but nothing special. The afternoon turns cross-on and fades. Friday 24th and Saturday 25th are tiny, with waves under 1m (3 feet) and weak energy.
From Sunday 26th July all the way to 4th August, it’s a long run of very small, weak surf. Most days show 0.3m to 0.5m (1-2 feet), and the combined energy is under 60. Even the longer period swells on 1st and 2nd August (15-16 seconds) are only producing 0.1m – that’s barely a bump.
The only real standout is Wednesday 22nd afternoon. For a beginner-friendly break like Noosa Main, the small stuff is okay, but there’s just no power. If you’re keen, hit it Wednesday arvo for a few small ones. Otherwise, forecasts can change, so don’t write it off completely.

Information about the Noosa Main Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Noosa Main Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Noosa Main Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Noosa Main Beach 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 (Noosa Main Beach) 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 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. 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.
