The Lowdown
Alright mate, let’s cut to it. Noosa Main Beach is offering next to nothing across these 16 days. You’re looking at a long stretch of flatness and tiny, weak slop that’s not worth a paddle.
Water temp is about 21°, dead average for the time of year.
The first faint pulse arrives Tuesday, September 15th: 0.9m of east swell with a short 6-second period, combined energy around 68. That’s small and weak. Early morning might have a few drowsy waves with light southeast winds, but it turns choppy by the afternoon. Nothing to chase.
Wednesday the 16th repeats the same 0.9m east swell, energy up to 83, period at 7 seconds, and clean enough early under a south-easterly. But again, tiny and ordinary. It’s beginner territory at best, and that’s about it.
Later in the run, Saturday September 19th morning goes glassy, but the swell drops to 0.1m east with a long 13-second period and combined energy of 3 – you’re looking at a flat calm.
This is a true dry spell. Noosa Main Beach needs a decent north-east swell to light up, and this weak east windswell isn’t it. Don’t waste the petrol.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Noosa Main Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
