Table - best surf conditions forecast for Noosa - Boiling Pot over the next 16 days.


Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cooking for Noosa, especially the Boiling Pot.

First things first, the start is a dud. From July 12th right through to the morning of July 16th, it’s flat and small. Tiny waves, weak energy, nothing to write home about. The water temp is about 69°F, which is dead average for the time of year.

The first real pulse comes on the afternoon of July 16th. A new swell from the SSE bumps up to 10ft with a fresh offshore wind. The combined energy is strong at 1483, but the period is short at 9 seconds, so it’s a bit of a messy, powerful wall. Not the cleanest.

The standout is the morning of Saturday, July 18th. We’re looking at an 12ft SSE swell with a 10-second period. The combined energy is a massive 4070, and we’ve got fresh offshore wind. This is a serious, heavy, powerful swell. The Boiling Pot (Noosa) is a point break, so it’ll hold some of that energy, but it’s going to be a big, fast, expert-only wave. For the rest of the run, the wind gets messy on the 24th and 25th, so don’t get your hopes up for those days.

The best session by far is that Saturday morning, July 18th. It’s the biggest, most powerful swell with clean conditions. Everything else is either too small or too wind-affected. Beginners, steer clear of that 18th.

Rusty.
