The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. This one’s all about Noosa – Boiling Pot, and honestly, it’s a real mixed bag. The first week’s mostly small and average, but there’s a couple clean windows and one absolute standout later on.
Thursday the 30th of July morning: tiny 2ft from the ENE, clean with a 15 km/h southerly offshore. Weak energy (80). You could scratch out a few, but nothing to write home about. That afternoon it’s 1ft – not worth it.
Friday the 31st morning: 2ft from the east, cleaner with a 20 km/h SSE offshore, but still weak (87). Gutless.
Saturday the 1st of August morning size bumps: 5ft from the SSE, short period at 6 seconds, moderate energy (223), with a 25 km/h southerly offshore. Clean enough for a fun, lumpy session for a shortboarder. Afternoon drops off.
Sunday the 2nd morning: 5ft from the ESE, cross-off wind, marginal (312 energy). That afternoon is the curveball: only 2ft from the SE but a huge 15-second period and massive energy (533). At Boiling Pot, a point break, that long period groundswell will produce long, peeling lines – best for a longboard, but clean and pretty.
Monday the 3rd morning: 3ft from the SE, 13-second period (338 energy), light SSW offshore. Proper point-break shape, clean, and worth a session.
Then a long, flat stretch. From Tuesday the 4th through Tuesday the 11th of August, swells stay between 1ft and 3ft, often with poor wind or onshore junk. Energy rarely breaks 150. Tuesday the 4th morning is glassy with 2ft SE, but just too tiny. The water temp is 69°, about average for the time of year.
Now the real one: Wednesday the 12th of August morning. 7ft from the SE, period 9 seconds, with a 25 km/h SSW cross-off. Energy is huge at 738. This is expert territory, big and powerful at Boiling Pot, but clean and offering serious walls. The afternoon holds 7ft from the SE (686 energy) with lighter ESE winds. This is the standout – the best day of the whole outlook for experienced surfers.
Thursday the 13th morning: 4ft from the SE (234 energy), light SSW winds – still decent, but a big drop. After that it fades again into small, inconsistent junk.
So, the session to aim for is Wednesday the 12th of August – that big, clean SE swell. For the smaller stuff, Sunday afternoon the 2nd and Monday the 3rd are your best bets. Long wait, but worth it for that one day.
Rusty.
