The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve been looking at the charts for the Noosa area, specifically Boiling Pot. Let’s talk about what’s coming.
The first few days are a slow grind. Thursday the 30th of July has a small 0.7m swell from the ENE, but the energy is weak (80). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. Friday and Saturday stay small, with short-period swells and rain showers, though the wind stays offshore or cross-offshore, keeping the surface clean. The water is around 69°, which is normal for this time of year.
Sunday the 2nd of August brings a bigger 1.6m swell from the ESE, but the period is short (7 seconds), and the wind is cross-offshore. The energy jumps to 284 in the morning and 444 in the afternoon, but it’s a bit messy and marginal. Not the best for a beginner.
The first real standout is Monday the 3rd of August. The morning has a clean 0.9m groundswell from the SE with a 13-second period, and the combined energy is a solid 375. The wind is cross-offshore, so the waves should be clean and well-shaped. The afternoon holds up too, with 0.8m surf and 339 energy. That’s your best bet for the first week.
The middle of the week settles back into smaller, glassy mornings on the 5th and 6th, but the energy is low. Not worth setting an alarm for.
In the second week, Saturday the 8th of August has a 1.1m E swell with 161 energy, but it’s nothing special. The real promise is on Thursday the 13th of August. The morning shows a 0.9m ESE groundswell with an 11-second period, clean cross-offshore winds, and 228 energy. But the afternoon is the one to lock in: glassy conditions, 1.1m swell from the ESE, a 12-second period, and energy jumping to 330. That’s a long-range standout, but it’s a bit of a wait. Boiling Pot is a point, so that long-period groundswell will set up well, with longer lulls between sets. It’s an inconsistent spot, so when it lines up, it’s a gem, but expect company—crowds are often there.
The week ends with smaller surf on the 14th, so aim for that Thursday. Clean, glassy, and a bit of power. If you’re up for it, you’ll be rewarded.
Rusty.
