The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks at Boiling Pot at Noosa (Noosa).

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya – the surf scene here is pretty flat and ordinary for the foreseeable future. There’s nothing that’s gonna get the heart pumping. We got a big gap of almost two weeks with nothing worth paddling out for.

Starting from Saturday, the 29th of August, we got tiny waves – around 2 ft to 2 ft from the east. The combined swell energy is weak (48 to 64). Winds are cross-off from the SSE at 12 to 19 mph, so it’s clean but the swell’s just got no grunt. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year.

Sunday the 30th sees a bit of a spike in size, with swell hitting around 6 ft from the SE in the morning, and 6 ft in the afternoon. But it’s short period – 6 to 7 seconds – and the combined energy jumps to moderate (351 morning, 272 afternoon). Winds are still cross-off from the SSE, but those short-period waves are gonna be crumbly and messy, not really offering anything decent. The wave comment sums it up: poor surf conditions, and by afternoon it’s only marginal.

From Monday the 31st right through to Saturday the 5th of September, it’s all tiny and weak – swell heights mostly below 3 ft, periods short, with combined energy below 100 most of the time. Winds vary from light to fresh, but the swell just isn’t there.

Sunday the 6th of September gives a little window of glassy conditions in the morning with a light southerly breeze, but the swell is only 2 ft from the north-northeast with a super short 5-second period. Combined energy is a scant 47. Not worth getting wet for.

Monday the 7th through to Wednesday the 9th sees slightly bigger swell in the 4 ft to 5 ft range from the northeast, with combined energy a bit healthier (125 to 142). Winds turn offshore or cross-off on a few occasions, and the wave comment finally says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” But honestly, these are still pretty average, with short periods.

The best of a bad lot might be Tuesday the 8th of September, with 4 ft swell from the northeast at 7 seconds, clean cross-off winds from the west-southwest in the morning. Combined energy is 142. It’s not gonna be pumping, but if you’re desperate, it’s the most surfable option in the whole window. Still, nothing to write home about.

From the 10th of September onward, it drops back to tiny waves and poor conditions again, right through to Sunday the 13th of September.

So there ya have it – no standouts, no real swell. A long, quiet stretch for Boiling Pot. Keep an eye on the forecasts; it’s bound to turn around eventually. As always, I’m Rusty.
