Table - best surf conditions forecast for Noosa - Boiling Pot over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s take a look at what’s on offer. I’m talkin’ about Noosa’s Boiling Pot. This is a classic point break, but it’s an inconsistent one, so when it does fire, you gotta be on it. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
We start off this Friday, the 10th of July, with a bit of action. A solid 5ft swell from the SE, with a period of 10 seconds, and a moderate energy level (714). The wind is offshore, a gentle breeze from the south, keeping things clean. Expect very good surf, but this is the Boiling Pot, so be ready for the crowd, it’s often packed. The swell direction is perfect for the ENE optimum.
Saturday the 11th, the swell drops a touch to 4ft, but the wind stays light offshore from the SSW in the morning. Still clean, still decent, but the energy is lower (317). The afternoon sees a cross-shore wind, so it gets a bit messy.
Sunday the 12th, the swell is small and the wind turns cross-onshore, so it’s pretty poor. The wave energy is low (254). Not worth a paddle.
Monday the 13th is glassy in the morning, but the swell is tiny, only 2ft, and the energy is very weak (64). Basically a lake.
Tuesday and Wednesday the 14th and 15th are flat. Don’t bother.
Now, Thursday the 16th of July, things get interesting again. The swell jumps up to 6ft from the SSE, with a period of 9 seconds, and the energy is moderate (584). The wind is strong offshore from the south – a fresh breeze – so it’s clean, but that’s a strong paddle. By the afternoon, the swell hits 10ft, and the energy is huge (2381). That’s big, powerful stuff. It’s clean with a strong offshore, but this is expert-only territory. Too big for most.
Friday the 17th, the swell eases to 5ft in the morning, with a 12-second period, giving it good shape. The energy is still solid (599). The wind is fresh offshore, so it’s clean. The afternoon picks up to 6ft with a 13-second period, and the energy is strong (1112). This is a standout stretch.
Saturday the 18th of July is the pick of the bunch. The morning has 6ft swell from the SE, a 12-second period, and strong energy (1103). The wind is a moderate offshore from the SSE. The conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one to circle.
Sunday the 19th, the swell holds at 6ft, with a 12-second period, and good energy (929). The wind is a gentle offshore, so the waves will be clean and lined up. Very good surf.
Monday the 20th, the swell drops to 4ft, but the morning is glassy. A calm, clean session with weak energy (310).
From Tuesday the 21st through to Saturday the 25th, it’s a long stretch of small, weak surf. The energy is under 100, and the swell is under 2ft. Not worth a look.
So, the standout window is the 18th and 19th of July, with the 16th and 17th being solid for the experienced crew. Don’t sleep on that Saturday the 18th – that’s the one.
