The Lowdown
Alright boys, let's have a look at what the Boiling Pot's got cooking. It's a slow start, but there's a couple of windows that'll light up if you're patient.
Right now, Saturday morning is offering a 3ft easterly swell, around 8 seconds, clean with a light offshore southerly breeze at 12 mph. Not much power there, combined energy is a weak 191. It picks up Saturday arvo with a solid 4ft ESE swell and a 9 mph cross-offshore wind, giving you clean conditions with a bit more push – energy up to 251.
Then the taps get turned off. From Sunday morning right through to Thursday morning next week, it's mostly flat and poor.
Thursday arvo the swell jumps to 6ft, but it's got a stiff 19 mph cross-offshore wind on it, so it's messy. Friday gets bigger again but with rain and strong winds. Not the best.
The first real standout is the morning of Saturday, August 1st. You're looking at a 6ft ESE swell, still short period at 7 seconds, but with a clean 16 mph offshore southerly breeze. The combined energy is a moderate 364 – it’s the best combo of size and clean conditions in the first week.
Looking further out, keep an eye on the morning of Thursday, August 6th. That's showing a 5ft ESE groundswell with a nice 9-second period and glassy conditions – no wind at all. Energy is a solid 459. That glassy surface is what you want on the Pot. That’s your long-range hope.
And then on Saturday, August 9th morning, there's a 3ft ESE swell, period has stretched to 10 seconds, with a light 9 mph cross-shore wind and moderate energy at 302. It might just be worth a look if you're keen.
The water's sitting around 69°F, right about average for Noosa this time of year.
So, for the near term, Saturday arvo is your best bet. After that flat stretch, the 1st of August is the real pick. The glassy day on the 6th is promising but it's a long way off, so don't book the day off just yet.
