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


G'day, Rusty here. Look, I'm not gonna lie to ya – this is a rough start for the Noosa region. We’ve got a solid week of tiny, weak dribble before anything worth paddling out for shows up. The first seven days are basically a write-off.

We kick off on Monday the 13th with nothing. The swell is a measly 2ft from the ESE and the combined energy is a pathetic 64. Just ankle-biters. That flat spell hangs around through Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning, with the swell barely ticking over and energy staying under 100. Wednesday the 15th sees a strong S wind of 12 mph blowing offshore, but the swell is only 1ft, so you’re just getting blown around for nothing.

The first real shift comes on Thursday the 16th. The swell bumps up to 7ft from the SE with 570 energy, but the period is a short 8 seconds. It’s a bit lumpy and more for the charger crew. Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th stay in that 7ft range, with the period still short, and winds are fresh cross-offshore. It’s not clean, but it’s surfable for the keen.

Now, the standout window, and the one I’d circle on the calendar, arrives on Sunday the 19th. We get a solid 10ft swell from the ESE with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a strong 1853. That’s proper groundswell energy. The wind is cross-offshore out of the SSE at 22 mph, which will keep the face reasonably clean. This is a big, powerful swell for Boiling Pot, and at this size it’s strictly for advanced surfers only. The direction matches the optimum ENE direction pretty well for this exposed point. With the spot being inconsistent, catching it on this kind of day is a treat, but you’ll have to deal with the crowds that turn up when it’s firing.

That big energy holds through Monday the 20th with similar 10ft swell and 1433 energy before slowly dropping off into the following week. By Wednesday the 22nd it’s back under 5ft and the energy drops to 237. The last week sees a slow fade down to tiny 2ft conditions by the 26th of July. There is a slight flicker on Monday the 27th with a clean 4ft swell and 251 energy, but it’s nothing special.

So, to sum it up: wait for Sunday the 19th. That’s your best bet. Big, powerful swell at a classic point. Just know your limits and expect a crowd. Everything else is either too small or too ordinary.

Rusty.
