The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, your local surf reporter. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Noosa region.
Alright, Boiling Pot, we've got a bit of a slow start. The first week and a bit is looking pretty flat and messy, with only small, weak, short-period swell and unfavourable winds. There's a promising pulse building, but you'll have to be patient. The best window looks to be around the middle of the second week.
Let's kick things off. The first real chance of anything half-decent pops up on Wednesday afternoon, the 9th of September. The swell is only 3ft from the SE with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at (184). It's not going to be a world-beater, but the wind is light and cross-offshore, so it'll be clean. Still, with only "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" on the cards, it's barely a warm-up.
The next session of note is Friday the 11th of September. The swell picks up to 6ft from the SE in the morning, dropping to 5ft in the afternoon. The period is short at 6-7 seconds, so the energy is moderate to strong (276). This is a bit of a messy, heaving lump of a swell, and with a cross-offshore breeze, it's going to be a handful for most. This is probably only for the experienced crew who know the Pot well.
Now, the standout. Clear your schedule for Wednesday morning, the 16th of September. We get a solid 7ft swell from the S, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to (400), which is strong. The wind is offshore from the S, making for clean, lined-up waves. This is the pick of the forecast. The swell is over 5ft, so it's a bit much for beginners, and getting into the 8ft territory, it's more for the experts. The Boiling Pot is a point break, so it should handle the size and energy well, offering some proper waves. The water temperature is sitting around 69°F, which is about 2°F cooler than the long-term average for this time of year, so it's not unusual, just a touch nippy.
After that, things drop away again quickly. The morning of the 17th has a tiny 2ft swell, and the rest of the period is small, weak, and mostly poor. The 18th of September has a long-period (21 seconds) SE swell, but it's only 1.0ft, so not enough to do anything with. There's a chance of a glassy morning on the 19th of September, but the swell is only 1ft, so it's a lake.
So, the long and short of it: The first week is a write-off. The window from the 11th is marginal, but Wednesday the 16th is your best bet. It's a solid swell with clean offshore wind. Get on it.
Rusty.
