The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's break down the outlook for Noosa's Boiling Pot. Things are pretty complex right off the bat.
The first real surf we can talk about is on Monday, July 20th. A big, powerful swell is on the way from the east-southeast, pushing a solid 13 ft face with a 10-second period. The combined energy is massive at 3174—that's a lot of juice. But the wind is howling from the southeast at 25 mph, blowing straight across the break. It's still clean, but that's a strong breeze, and a 13 ft wave at a point break like Boiling Pot is going to be a handful. This is expert territory, and the wind is going to make it a battle. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Moving into Tuesday the 21st, the swell drops to 8 ft, still from the east-southeast at 10 seconds. The wind eases to 16 mph, but it's still cross-offshore. The energy is down to 1153, which is still strong, but it's another day for the experienced crew. Wednesday the 22nd sees the swell drop further to 6 ft, and the wind turns light, but it's still cross-off. The energy is now moderate at 499.
Now, Thursday, July 23rd, is the standout of the first week. We get a glassy morning with the wind swinging light from the southwest. The swell is a much more manageable 4 ft from the east with an 8-second period, and the energy is 202. It's not huge, but for Boiling Pot, that glassy, clean surface with a light southeast swell is perfect. This is the best bet for the first week—a proper window of clean, fun waves. Crowds are likely though, as it's often busy here.
From Friday the 24th, things get a bit ordinary. The swell drops right off, and the winds are messy. We've got a few days of small, weak surf under 3 ft with poor conditions. There's a long gap of quiet days from the 25th through to the 30th of July.
We do get a late pulse to close out the month. On Friday, July 31st, a new long-period groundswell arrives from the southeast. It's a small 2 ft wave, but with a very long 14-second period, and the wind is a gentle offshore from the south. The energy is back up to 206, and it's clean. The long period means it'll be smooth and lined up, but it's small. This is a promising but less certain long-range call for a sneaky session. The run then continues into the first week of August with similar small, clean conditions, but the wind picks up again.
So, the clear winner is Thursday, July 23rd, with that glassy morning. The rest of the window is either too big and windy, or too small. Don't expect much else.
Rusty.
