Late afternoon on Main Beach — golden light, the headland beyond, and a walker heading toward the water.

By the headland, by the bar.

An independent, sourced guide to Noosa Heads on the Sunshine Coast. Surf and weather from BOM Southeast Coast and Open-Meteo, national-park alerts from QPWS, and clear local rules so you spend less time researching and more time on the coast.

Plan your Noosa trip well.

Live conditions

What the coast is doing right now

Drawn from the Bureau of Meteorology’s Southeast Coast marine district and Open-Meteo’s free marine API. Tiles refresh every 30 minutes; if an upstream falls out it shows an Unavailable badge rather than guessing. For bar crossings always defer to the MSQ Noosa bar report and the Noosa Coast Guard broadcast — this site is a planning tool, not a navigational authority.

Last refresh: AEST

BOM + Open-Meteo Marine + Open-Meteo (UV). Refreshed every 30 minutes.
