The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this stretch ahead is a test of patience more than anything else. The first solid week is looking pretty ordinary for any kind of quality session. We’ve got a long, drawn-out gap with barely a ripple worth paddling for. After that, things do start to fire up, but you’re going to need to wait for it.

The first real window of opportunity doesn’t show its face until around Sunday the 20th of August. Before that, it’s mostly tiny, weak, and messy. The mornings are clean, but the swell’s just not there—flat spells with barely enough energy to push you over the sandbar. Then, from the 17th, we see a bump in size, but it’s raw and junky, with short-period wind swell and fresh cross-off breezes. Not the kind of thing you’d call a surfer’s friend.

Now, the standout. It’s all about Boiling Pot (Noosa) on the morning of Sunday the 20th of August. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell rolling in from the ESE, and the wind is offshore and moderate out of the SSE. The energy is strong—the combined swell energy reads 1119—and that long-period groundswell is going to make the Pot do what it does best. It’s an advanced wave, and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll be picking your moments, but when it lines up, it’ll be well worth the wait. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing crazy there. This is a proper session for the experienced crew.

The morning of Monday the 21st is still worth a look, with 6ft of ESE swell and clean conditions, but it’s a step down from Sunday. And then Saturday the 22nd morning looks like another good one—7ft from the ESE with light, clean winds. That’s a solid back-to-back run for the point.

The following week holds some promise, and the morning of Wednesday the 23rd looks like it could be special with 7ft of ESE swell and glassy conditions, but it’s further out, so treat that one as promising, not a guarantee. The wind turns onshore in the afternoon, so make the most of the mornings.

Overall, if you can sit tight through the first week and a half, there’s a proper payoff waiting. Don’t waste your energy on the junky days—save it for that Sunday the 20th push.

Rusty.
