The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get stuck into it.

Well, it’s a pretty bleak stretch ahead for the Noosa region, I’ll be straight with you. The whole 16-day window is a tough one, with barely a glimmer of decent surf. We’ve got a long dry spell to start, so if you’re frothing for a paddle, you might want to find something else to do for a while.

The first few days, from the 30th of August right through the 1st of September, are a write-off. Tiny, weak swell, cross-off winds, and just poor conditions all round. The combined energy on the 30th is a paltry 39, and it doesn’t get much better. The water temp is 68°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – about a couple of degrees off, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit.

The only real sniff of anything surfable comes on the morning of Tuesday, the 1st of September. We’ve got a tiny 3ft east swell with a 10-second period, and the wind is offshore from the SSE, light breeze. The combined energy jumps to 139, which is still weak, but the conditions are clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. You’d be scratching for a wave at Boiling Pot (Noosa). The rest of that day and the next few are back to poor, with onshore winds and choppy mess.

You’ll notice a pattern: a lot of light wind and cross-off conditions, but the swell is just too small and inconsistent to do anything with. The break itself is inconsistent, which is par for the course here. The 7th of September morning has a little hope with a 2ft east-northeast swell and a light cross-off, but it’s still marginal.

The best of a bad bunch is the 11th of September, Friday. The morning is a bit of a dud, but the afternoon throws up a 6ft swell from the south-southeast, with a 7-second period. The combined energy hits 379, which is moderate wave energy, and the wind is cross-off from the ESE. It’s a bit of a messy period, but it’s the biggest swell of the forecast. The 12th of September, Saturday morning, also has a 4ft east swell with a 7-second period and 219 combined energy, and it’s clean with a cross-off wind. These are the only two days that even get close to being worth a look. The 6ft swell is a tad big for beginners, but it’s not a full-on howler.

Honestly, for a spot that’s as consistent as Boiling Pot can be, this is a real bummer of a forecast. We’re looking at nearly two weeks of pretty much nothing. The forecasts can change, but right now, you’d be better off finding a river to explore or a board to fix. There’s simply nothing to get excited about.
