The Lowdown
Righto, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the Noosa stretch in feet.
It’s a pretty grim outlook, no two ways about it. We’ve got a long stretch of flat and poor conditions before anything worth paddling out for even shows up. The first week is a write-off – tiny, weak swell with no quality. You’ll be waiting more than a week for the first proper recommendation, which isn’t until Monday the 3rd of August.
The best of a bad bunch comes on Tuesday the 4th of August at Noosa Main Beach. The morning is your best bet. Swell gets up to about 4ft from the east, with a short 7-second period. The combined wave energy hits moderate levels at 155, which is about the best we see in the whole run. Winds are light out of the south-southeast, keeping it clean and cross-off. Water temp is 69°, a bit below average for this time of year but nothing too crazy.
Wednesday the 5th of August morning offers something similar – around 4 to 4ft of east swell, same short period, clean with a light cross-off breeze and moderate energy at 120. It’s rideable, but nothing special.
One to note: Saturday the 8th of August afternoon shows a 4ft east swell with moderate energy at 146, but winds are up to 15 mph from the south-southeast, so it’ll be choppy and messy.
Honestly, there’s nothing here to get excited about. For a spot like Noosa Main Beach that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a quiet spell. Might be a good time to give the board a rest and see if the forecasts change. Keep looking.
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.
