The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – for the next few days, we’re just not getting the goods at Boiling Pot (Noosa). The swell’s tiny, around 2ft to 2ft from the east, and while the wind’s offshore or glassy at times, there’s just no energy behind it. The combined wave energy is pitiful, barely scratching 107 on Tuesday morning, and it just drops off from there. You’d be bobbing around on dribble, not surfing. We’ve got a solid gap of nothing worthwhile right through until the end of the week.
Now, things start to stir on Sunday the 16th of August. We get a pulse of short-period, 6-second southeasterly swell pushing in at 5ft. The combined energy jumps to 218, which is still only moderate, but it’s a start. The morning looks best with a moderate offshore SSE breeze keeping it clean. This isn't a standout, but it’s the first real surf we’ve seen. The swell builds through Monday and Tuesday, hitting 7ft by Tuesday the 18th, but the wind swings cross-offshore and the period stays short and weak (7-8 seconds). The energy climbs into the moderate range (up to 566 on Tuesday morning), but the quality is marginal – a bit of a messy, wind-affected affair.
The real highlight, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is Saturday the 22nd of August. We’ve got a 5ft southeasterly swell with a longer 9-second period, and the combined wave energy is a solid 652 – that’s proper moderate energy for this spot. The morning brings a moderate offshore SSE wind, setting the Pot up for some of its best waves in this forecast. Expect clean, lined-up walls. This is the standout session of the outlook. The weekend after that holds decent 4ft ESE swell with clean conditions, but Saturday morning is the pick.
Keep in mind, Boiling Pot is an inconsistent point break that needs a decent swell and the right tide to fire. The water temp is sitting at 68°F, which is about 2°F cooler than average for this time of year – nothing unusual, just a touch of winter still hanging around. If the crowds are there, and they often are, get there early.
Rusty.
