The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s brewing.
First few days are quiet. The water’s sitting at about 69°, which is normal for this time of year. At Noosa - Boiling Pot, the waves are small and weak – a lot of 3 to 4 foot swell with a short 6-second period. Winds are cross-off, so it’s not messy, but there’s just not enough power. The combined swell energy is mostly in the double digits or just over 100 – that’s weak stuff.
Monday the 14th is rideable but nothing special – same small 3ft east swell, short period. Tuesday the 15th morning is glassy but only 3ft – too small. Wednesday the 16th afternoon shows a jump: a 7ft SE swell, fresh cross-off wind, and energy of 350 – moderate, but the conditions are still called poor. Hard pass.
Now here’s the real deal. Thursday the 17th morning – that’s the one. Swell hits 7ft from the SE, period of 8 seconds, and a clean offshore wind from the south at 25 km/h. The energy jumps to a strong 514. This is proper groundswell. The forecast says very good surf. For Boiling Pot, that’s a classic setup – a point break with the right direction and offshore wind. Just know, at 7ft, this is for experienced surfers only.
Friday the 18th morning is still good – 6ft SE, offshore wind, energy at 365 – a solid backup. Saturday the 19th morning is interesting: glassy conditions, only 4ft but a long 12-second period. Energy sits at 345. That long period could make it a bit straight for some spots, but at a point like Boiling Pot, it’ll likely produce some nice lines.
Then the plug gets pulled. From Sunday the 20th right through to the 28th, it’s all small, weak, and cross-onshore. Combined energy drops below 100 most days, and the swell is tiny – mostly 2 to 3 feet with short periods. There’s a long gap of over a week with nothing worth chasing. A little blip on the 25th morning gives 3ft ENE and energy of 116, but the cross-on wind and short period kill it.
So, if you’re paddling out, make it Thursday the 17th morning – clean offshore, solid 7ft SE groundswell, plenty of juice. That’s your window.
Rusty.
