The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s chew through this one.
It’s a slow start, no two ways about it. The surf is pretty ordinary for the first week and a half, so you’ll be waiting a while for anything worth getting wet for. The first real highlight doesn’t show up until the second week, so keep your expectations in check early on.
The first spot to eyeball is Boiling Pot (Noosa). This is an advanced, inconsistent point break, so when it fires, it’s a special deal. The water temp is about 70°, which is normal for the season, nothing crazy.
From the 9th through the 18th, wave heights are mostly between 2ft and 7ft, but the quality is poor. The wind is cross or cross-off from the SE and SSE, often a fresh breeze, and the swell energy is low to moderate (53 to 433). The periods are short, around 6 to 8 seconds, so the waves are weak and messy. Not worth the paddle for most of this stretch. There’s a slight bump on the 12th with 6ft from the ESE and a moderate breeze, but it’s still only marginal.
Now, the real standout is Saturday, 19th September. The morning glass-off is the one to circle. The wind drops to a glassy SSE at just 3 mph, the swell jumps to 10ft from the SE with an 8-second period, and the combined energy shoots up to 1238 (strong). That is a serious amount of power and the water will be clean. That’s the best window for experienced surfers. The afternoon stays clean with a cross-off wind, but that glassy morning is the pick of the whole forecast. The point break handles that 8-second period well, and while the swell is big, it’s not out of control.
The following days, 20th through 24th, see heights dropping back to 4ft to 7ft, with the swell shifting more easterly. The energy stays moderate to strong (206 to 579). The 23rd is notable with a 5ft to 5ft SSE swell and a period of 11 seconds, a proper groundswell. That’s clean and should offer good shape, especially in the afternoon. The 24th is a bit more average with shorter period chop.
Bottom line: if you can wait, the 19th of September morning is the absolute standout. The weekend after that has some decent waves too, but nothing touches that glassy, 10ft session. Crowds are likely at Boiling Pot, especially on a good day, but that’s just the price of a quality wave.
