The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be honest with you, looking at the 16-day window for our region, and it’s a bit of a tough one. The forecast is pretty flat for the first week and a half, with only a few small windows that might get your heart racing a little, but not much else. Let's break it down.

Right now, starting Friday the 28th of August, we’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the ESE at 7 seconds at Boiling Pot (Noosa - Boiling Pot). The combined energy is weak at 115, and with a cross-off breeze, it’s clean but the waves are just poor. The water is sitting at 69°, which feels a bit colder than normal for this time of year. Saturday and Sunday bring a bit more size, up to 7ft on Sunday morning, but the period is short and the wind is cross-off, so it’s not going to be pretty. The energy jumps to 430 on Sunday morning, but the quality is still poor.

Monday the 31st of August has a tiny window of offshore wind in the morning, but the swell is only 1ft. Not enough to get excited about. We then slide into a long, flat spell. From Tuesday the 1st of September all the way through to Thursday the 10th of September, the swell barely breaks 3ft. There are a few days with glassy conditions, like Wednesday the 2nd of September morning, but the swell is a measly 2ft. It’s just not happening.

The only real standout in this entire forecast is the tail end of the period. On Friday the 11th of September, we start to see a pulse. The afternoon shows a 4ft swell from the ENE at 7 seconds, with a moderate energy reading of 241. The wind is cross-off, keeping it clean. It’s a marginal call, but it’s the best we’ve seen in two weeks. Saturday the 12th of September morning is similar, with a 4ft swell from the ENE at 8 seconds and clean cross-off winds, energy at 215.

That’s the pick of the litter, if you can call it that. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the only period where the numbers line up for a surfable wave. Don’t expect a classic Boiling Pot session; it’s small and weak, but it’s clean. For an advanced spot that’s inconsistent, you’ll be lucky to find a peak or two.

Overall, it’s a long, dry spell with a small, promising window right at the end. Keep your eye on the 11th and 12th of September, but don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
