The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the next two weeks are a bit of a mixed bag for the Noosa region. We’ve got one solid run of surf kicking things off, but then it’s a long, slow grind into a flat spell. Let’s break it down.
We start strong on Monday the 20th of July, but it’s not for the faint-hearted. Boiling Pot is pumping with a solid 13ft swell out of the ESE, packing a massive 3299 units of energy. That’s a lot of power. Problem is, the wind is a strong cross-offshore from the SE at 25 mph, which will keep things clean but the size is serious. Over 8ft, so this is strictly for the experts. The water temp is sitting at 69°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The swell eases a bit into Tuesday the 21st, with 8ft in the morning and 7ft in the afternoon, still from the ESE. The wind drops to a moderate 16 mph, still cross-off. It’s still big – too big for beginners – but the energy is dropping (1205 in the morning, 913 in the arvo). It’s a notch down from Monday, but still a solid day for those with the skills.
Wednesday the 22nd is where it gets interesting. The swell drops to 6ft from the E, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind eases right off to a gentle 9 mph cross-off. The energy is at 756 in the morning. This is your best bet for the whole run. The size is manageable, the wind is light, and the crowd factor at Boiling Pot is often an issue, but with these conditions, it’s worth the paddle. The E direction is a perfect match for the break’s optimum, so expect some nice lines.
Thursday the 23rd is a bit of a tease. The morning is glassy – 3 mph wind from the S, with 4ft of E swell. Clean, but the energy is low at 233. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. The afternoon turns to a light cross-shore, and the quality drops. By Friday the 24th, the swell is down to 3ft, and the wind comes up from the S at 16 mph, offshore. It’s clean, but the energy is just 108. A small, weak day.
From the 25th of July onwards, the story is a sad one. We get a few small pulses of 4ft and 3ft with light offshore winds on the 25th, but the energy is pathetic – 202 and 126. Then it’s a long, drawn-out slide into flatness. From the 26th of July, the swell drops under 2ft and stays there, with energy values barely breaking 60. The winds are all over the place, but it doesn’t matter because there’s no wave to ride. There’s a gap of about 10 days with no real surf on offer. The 30th of July and 31st of July have a tiny 1.0ft and 1ft, but with a 19-second period on the 30th, that’s a long, weak groundswell that’ll just make the water look bumpy. By the 3rd of August, it’s down to 0.7ft. It’s a dead period.
So, the standout is Wednesday the 22nd of July. That’s your window. The 6ft E swell with light cross-offshore winds at Boiling Pot is the best the next two weeks have to offer. Get it while you can.
Rusty.
