10-day surf forecast with Strike Scores for Noosa Tea Tree, Noosa Heads, Australia
Noosa Tea Tree is the second point in the legendary Noosa point break series, sitting between First Point and Nationals in the Noosa National Park. The wave breaks over boulders and is hollower and more powerful than the mellow First Point, demanding better positioning and more commitment. When solid E-NE swell pushes through, Tea Tree can connect with First Point below and Nationals above for rides measured in the hundreds of metres. The walk through the national park to reach it adds to the anticipation.
