The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin’ in with a look at what’s on offer for Noosa’s Boiling Pot over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the first few days are a bit of a write-off. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are pretty grim—small, short-period wind slop from the ESE, blown out by a cross-offshore breeze that’s not doing it any favours. The swell energy is weak (192), and it’s just not worth paddling out for. Monday the 14th is only marginally better, with a 3ft of weak, 6-second swell but at least it’s clean enough to dribble around on.
The real standout of the whole period is shaping up for Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th. Friday morning is the pick: a solid 7ft of SE swell, moderate energy (673), with a clean, moderate offshore wind out of the south. That’s proper Boiling Pot territory—long, drawn-out lines wrapping around the point. It’s an exposed spot for the swell, and the ESE optimum direction is a perfect match. Saturday the 19th is also a gem, with a very long-period groundswell (12 seconds) from the ESE, pushing 5ft, and glassy conditions in the morning. That long period will make for some beautiful, groomed waves, but because it’s a point break, it won’t be too straight. Expect a consistent, powerful wave. The water temp is 69°, about normal for this time of year, so a 3/2mm steamer will do you fine.
There’s a bit of a lull after that, with small, onshore junk for a few days, but Thursday the 24th sees a pulse of 6-7ft ESE swell returning, though the wind is cross-offshore and the conditions are only marginal. Still, it’s surfable. The energy is moderate (229 to 416). The following Friday the 25th looks similar, with clean conditions but nothing to write home about. The last weekend of the month (27th) might offer a tiny window of glassy 4ft waves, but it’s small. For the whole run, the first week is a wash, Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th are the clear highlights, and the second week is smaller and more ordinary.
