still a few onshore waves around firstpoint at low tide,not that good at full tide,plenty of peeps practicing,it kicks off this arvo with all sorts of circus events.
dog surfing,nipper surfing,clubbie v surfer surfing,body surfing,backpacker surfing(really),Peruvian straw boat surfing, over 70's and a weekend of token 666 events pretending to be attached to the festival,.
Monday sees the surfing start with the o65's out at 6.30 am,high tide(2.1mtrs) there will probably be some heats held down between the rockwalls.
goodluck to anyone from seabreeze entered,we will be staying away from the whole 8 days of 700 competitors

It used to be such a great place...even as late as the 80's you could get a wave there.

Now it's just a circus, even when it's not real good.

Bad luck for the Festival.... it's as flat as a tack

At last someone shares my opinion. This is very rare indeed.

For all you red thumbers out there, this event has turned into a money making venture for Noosa. It is no longer about surfing.

The original concept was great and achieved by hard work from a few hard workers that had an idea an followed it through. They know who they are.

This event tacks onto the Noosa Long Weekend, the Jazz Festival, the Food Festival etc etC etc. it is about getting bums in beds and in restaurants.

A great shame that a great event borne from a great idea has been ruined,

Thats all I have to say about that.

Fully agree with what firstpoint, surfbroker and ET have said.
The crowds lately have been amazing. Swarms at the outer most point too.
The festival does come across as just another Noosa promo nowadays.
The hipsters had their very own ghetto in the carpark last year and the lack of availability for carparks can make things tense.
People with vans who hang all day for days on end don't help with the parking shortage.
