The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's chew the fat on what Noosa's Boiling Pot is serving up for the next couple of weeks.
So, there's only one break on the list, and it's a classic point that really lights up when the swell comes from the east-northeast. Water temp is sitting at 68°, which is a couple of degrees cooler than usual for this time of year – you'll feel that cooler water on your face.
For the next few days, it's all pretty flat and boring. Saturday the 22nd starts off with a weak 3ft east swell (114 energy). It's clean with a light offshore breeze, but it's not going anywhere. This run of small, gutless surf stretches all the way through to Wednesday morning the 27th. A long stretch of meh.
Here's the first real standout: Thursday morning the 27th of August. Swell holds at 3ft from the east, but the energy bumps up to a moderate 211 and we get clean, gentle offshore winds from the SSE. That'll put some nice lines on the point. The afternoon stays clean but the wind picks up a little.
Friday the 28th afternoon is another good window. Swell at 3ft from the east with 201 energy and light offshore winds. Still small, but clean and fun.
Saturday morning the 29th is worth a mention, too – glassy, with a 3ft east swell. That's the kind of session you set an alarm for.
Now, look at Sunday the 30th. We get a pulse of bigger swell – 5ft to 6ft from the ESE – and the energy climbs to 233-249. But the wind is blowing a solid 19 mph, so it'll be a choppy mess. However, that size and energy on a point means Monday morning the 31st of August could be the real deal. A clean 5ft east-southeast swell (241 energy) with a solid offshore. That's big for a point, only for experienced crew, but for those who know the spot it'll be epic.
After that, we slide back into smaller, trickier conditions with onshore winds through the first week of September. There's a chance of a glassy morning on Wednesday the 2nd with a 3ft east swell, but it'll be ordinary.
So, the best bets? Thursday morning the 27th of August for the clean, fun little waves, and Monday morning the 31st of August for the big, powerful stuff. Keep your eye on that Monday session.
Rusty, out.
