The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s break down what’s happening at Noosa’s Boiling Pot.
Water temp is around 69°, about what you’d expect for this time of year – nothing out of the ordinary.
It’s a slow burner. The first few days, Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th, are tiny and poor – not worth wettin’ a wetsuit.
Come Sunday the 16th morning, things change. A fresh offshore breeze from the SSE cleans it right up, and the swell jumps to about 7ft from the SE. The period is short, only 7 seconds, so it’s a bit lumpy. The energy is moderate (449), but that size is for the advanced crew only – too big for beginners.
Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th keep the energy pumping – moderate to strong (588 to 622) – with swell around 7ft to 8ft from the ESE. Wind stays cross-offshore, so it’s workable, but those short periods mean it’s not perfect. Tuesday morning (18th) is the pick of the first week for the bigger-wave hunters.
Wednesday the 19th afternoon, the swell drops to 3ft, but the period stretches to 11 seconds – proper groundswell. Light cross-off wind, clean conditions, and moderate energy (424). This is a nice, mellow session.
Thursday the 20th keeps it clean with 4ft from the ENE and light breezes. Another good, clean day.
Then it goes quiet. From Friday the 21st through the end of the month, it’s mostly tiny, weak, and poor. Swell drops under 3ft, wind turns messy, and energy falls low. A tiny glimmer on Sunday the 23rd afternoon with a 4ft SE swell and offshore wind, but it’s short-period and only ordinary.
Best bets: Tuesday the 18th morning for the bigger stuff (experts), and Wednesday the 19th afternoon through Thursday the 20th for cleaner, smaller waves. After that, it’s a long dry spell.
Rusty.
