G’day, Rusty here, same outlook but in old-school units. The Noosa region is looking at a long dry spell before a late-in-the-game chance for a paddle.
We’re starting with nothing – and I mean nothing. From Sunday the 5th of July right through to Friday the 17th of July, the swell is flat or laughably small, under 1 foot at best. The combined wave energy is in the single or low double digits, which is barely a ripple. Winds are cross-off but it doesn’t matter when there’s no wave to push. The water temp at Noosa Main Beach is 69°F, which feels a bit cooler than usual for this time of year. This stretch is pure frustration.
The first sign of life arrives on Saturday morning the 18th of July. We see a bump to about 3ft from the NE, period around 8 seconds, combined energy at 90. Winds are light and cross-off, so the surface is clean. It’s small and ordinary, but it’s a wave. Afternoon turns sloppy with a light cross-onshore, so hit it early.
The clear highlight is Sunday morning the 19th of July. Swell pushes to about 3ft from the NE, period still 8 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 129 – that’s moderate energy. The killer detail is the glassy wind from the SW – dead calm. That means perfect, clean conditions at Noosa Main Beach. The direction is spot on for the optimum NE angle. It’s small but clean and user-friendly. Afternoon goes cross-shore, so the window is tight.
Monday the 20th of July offers a drop-off. Morning has 1ft from the NE with a 9-second period, combined energy at 77, and clean offshore wind. Afternoon gets to 2ft with 93 energy and light offshore. Both are surfable but ordinary. The longer period might add a little shape, but don’t expect much.
Summing it up: ten days of flat, then a three-day window of clean but small surf. The Sunday morning on the 19th is your best bet by a mile. Get out there if you can.
Rusty.

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.
