Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down the surf at Noosa - Sunshine Beach for the next couple of weeks.
The outlook is a bit all over the place. We kick off with some clean conditions right at the start, but then a long stretch of messy wind takes over. There are a few short windows for a cleanup later, but the swell is tiny. This is one of those forecasts where you need to be flexible.
The pick of the period is the first day, Friday morning, July 3rd. Water temp is about 69.6°F, which is normal for the season. We’re looking at a clean 2.6ft swell from the ESE with a 10-second period – that’s a decent little groundswell. The wind is a light northwesterly, giving a clean cross-off breeze. The combined swell energy is a moderate 214, so there’s enough oomph. It’s going to be a good, fun session for someone at an intermediate level, but expect some company.
After that, the wind shifts onshore and gets nasty from the Friday afternoon and right through the weekend. We’re talking 18 to 22 mph winds, making for lumpy, cross-chop conditions for about a week. The swell builds to 8.2ft by Monday, but it’s all short-period windswell with that onshore wind – total rubbish. That kind of size with that wind is better for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
Things get a little better by Wednesday, July 8th. The swell is a solid 6.6ft from the SE with a long 11-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The combined energy on Wednesday morning is a strong 1725. But the wind is still a moderate cross-shore breeze, so the conditions are just passable. A bit of a shame.
There’s another clean session on Friday morning, July 10th. The swell has dropped to a much smaller 3.6ft from the ESE at 10 seconds, with a light southwesterly cross-off wind. The combined energy is 216. It will be clean again, but you’ll need a bigger board.
From there, the second week is mostly dead. The swell drops to 0.7ft to 1.3ft. Most days are a flat, blown-out mess. There’s a glassy moment on Sunday, July 12th, with a 1.3ft swell, but it’s barely surfable. After that Friday the 10th, it’s a long, flat run, so don’t get your hopes up.
