Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the Noosa Main Beach region.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – we’re looking at a pretty bleak stretch for this neck of the woods. We’ve got no real swell to speak of through the whole forecast period, which goes out to the 19th of July. The picks are so slim you could slide a piece of paper under 'em.
So, the first bit of action worth mentioning is Saturday the 4th of July, but don't get excited. The water temp is sitting around 69°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year. We’re looking at a tiny 1ft swell from the NE with a short period of 8 seconds, which is weak, weak, weak (combined energy of only 38). The wind is a cross-off, so the surf will look clean, but there's just no power in the water. It’s a poor surf situation with a score of zero – not worth the paddle.
That flat spell just keeps rolling through the whole first week and into the second. There’s a big gap with zero surf on offer day after day. A slight breath of life might appear on the 16th of July, with a 1ft NE swell and a period of 7 seconds, but again, it’s tiny and still considered poor by the models.
Then, on the 18th of July (Saturday morning), things get a whisper. We see a 1ft NE swell with a 8-second period and combined energy bumping up to 23. Still nothing to write home about on the size front. But, the wind is pure glassy – WNW at 3 mph. For a spot like Noosa Main Beach, that glassy morning will look clean as a whistle, but you are floating on a short-period ripple. It's a beginner-friendly wave, but don't expect to pull into anything.
Honestly, there’s nothing that screams standout here. The one and only half-decent call is that glassy Saturday morning on the 18th of July if you just need to get wet without a fight.
Stay realistic out there.
Rusty.

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.
