Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Noosa Main Beach.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a real struggle for Noosa Main Beach. The swell is almost non-existent for the first week and a half, with wave energy readings sitting at zero or just a few measly points. The first solid blip of energy doesn’t show up until Thursday, July 16th, but even then we’re talking about a combined energy of just 35, which is weak. You’re going to be staring at a lot of flat, clean water with nothing to ride.
The waiting game continues through the second week. The best opportunity in the whole window looks like it falls on Monday, July 20th in the afternoon. We finally get a bit of life with a 2ft swell from the east, a period of 10 seconds, and a combined energy reading of 61. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SSE, which should keep things pretty clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. Don’t expect any barrels or power.
The following morning, Tuesday, July 21st, offers a similar 1ft east swell, but the wind is a cross-onshore from the NW at 12 mph, which will chop it up. The afternoons after that look cleaner, but the swell stays tiny. For the last few days, from July 23rd on, it looks like it drops back to flat again.
Water temperature is sitting at 69°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so a good wetsuit is a smart call.
Honestly, for Noosa Main Beach, this is a long stretch of nothing. The best you can hope for is a few small, weak waves on the afternoon of July 20th. It’s not a total write-off for the patient surfer, but don’t get your hopes up. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because this kind of blank run can’t last forever.
Rusty.

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.
