Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu for Noosa. We're looking at a classic pattern: a quiet start, then a solid pulse of energy that builds into some serious size, especially for the experienced crew.

The first few days are pretty flat and not worth paddling out for. The swell is small, and the wind is messy. You'll be sitting on your board doing nothing. That run of poor conditions stretches from now through the middle of the month.

The real story starts to kick off on Thursday, 16 July. The swell jumps up to 8ft from the SSE, with a fresh offshore wind. That's a proper start, but the period is a short 9 seconds, and the energy is ramping up hard – we're talking a combined energy of 1131. That's moderate energy turning strong. The wave comment says "marginal" for a reason: the short period at that size can make it bumpy and hard to handle at the beach break. This is expert territory.

By Friday, 17 July, the swell holds at 10ft from the SE, and the period stretches to 11 seconds on the afternoon. That's a groundswell now, and the energy hits 2320. That's strong. The wind is cross-off, keeping it relatively clean, but again, 10ft is only for the experienced. The wave comment is still "marginal" for experienced surfers, so don't get too excited unless you know what you're doing.

The standout of the whole outlook is Monday, 20 July. That morning the stars align: a 10ft swell from the SE, an 11-second period, and a gentle offshore wind from the south. The combined energy is a massive 3307 – that's very strong. The wave comment calls it "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." This is the day to circle. The size is big, but that offshore wind is a gift. For a point break like Boiling Pot, that long-period groundswell and clean offshore wind is a dream. Just be aware it's an advanced spot, and it's inconsistent, so it won't be breaking every set. The crowds are likely to be there, too. This is the best on offer.

The swell holds through Tuesday, 21 July, with a 7ft swell and a 12-second period, again with gentle offshore wind. Very good, but not as peak as Monday. The rest of the week sees the swell drop, but it stays clean with ESE groundswells and offshore or cross-off winds. By the 23rd through the 26th, we're back to 4ft to 3ft, which is much more manageable for a wider range of surfers, but it's also a lot smaller.

To sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The real action is the big swell from 16 July, but it's only for the experts. The absolute standout is Monday, 20 July, with that massive, clean, offshore groundswell. After that, the swell fades, but the conditions stay clean.

Rusty out.
