The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's talk about what's cookin' at Noosa's Boiling Pot. We start off pretty quiet, so don't rush down to the beach just yet. The water temp is about 69°F, which is pretty standard for this time of year.
Sunday the 9th is a no-go, with a weak 3ft east swell and a messy cross-on breeze. Monday the 10th sees a bump to 4ft from the north-northeast, but the period is a short 6 seconds and the wind is all wrong. Tuesday the 11th morning gives us the first glimpse of life with 2ft from the east and a clean cross-off breeze, but the energy is weak. Things stay small and clean but gutless for a few more days.
Friday the 14th morning is where it starts. A clean 5ft south swell with a solid offshore breeze delivers the first real chance for a surf. The energy is moderate, so it's not massive, but it's a step up. The swell builds through the weekend and into the next week, with heights hitting 5ft by Monday the 17th and 6ft by Tuesday the 18th, but the period stays short and the quality is only ever marginal.
The champion session, and the one you want to plan for, is the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August. That morning we've got a pumping 8ft groundswell from the southeast, with a long 10-second period. The wave energy is strong at 1229. Wind is a light south-southeast breeze, making the waves clean and glassy. This is proper power and will create some unreal bowls. It is an advanced wave at that size, so only the experienced should be out. The swell direction is perfect for the spot. After lunch, the wind swings around to a cross-on from the east-northeast, so the window is the morning. This spot is normally inconsistent, so when it fires, it's a true treat.
Before that, Wednesday the 19th shows 8ft with strong energy, but the conditions are only marginal, so it's not as clean. After the 22nd, it drops back to 6ft and then 4ft by Monday the 24th, still clean but less exciting.
So, a long slow start, a little teaser on the 14th, and a big, clean, and powerful morning on the 22nd. That's your window. Be ready for it.
Rusty.
