Hey, Rusty again. Same story for Noosa – Sunshine Beach, but in imperial. First week’s a write-off – strong cross winds, lumpy mess, no surf worth a paddle. That gap runs about seven days from now up to Saturday the 11th.
Water temp’s around 69°F, about normal for winter.
Come Sunday morning the 12th of July, that’s your moment. Wind’s a light SSW at 3 mph, cross-off and clean – glassy as it gets. Swell is 4ft out of the southeast with a solid 11-second period – groundswell with good energy. Combined energy 339 – moderate but that long period gives it shape. Sunshine Beach is consistent and exposed east, and this SE swell hits pretty close to the sweet spot. It’s intermediate-level stuff, not too heavy. Crowds are possible but early birds get the pick.
After that, Monday the 13th brings a glassy start but only 3ft with less period – okay but nothing special. The rest of the second week is small: 2ft, 2ft, even smaller. Clean wind on a few mornings but the waves just aren’t there.
Only Sunday 12th July morning stands out. That’s your call.
