The Lowdown

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya—there’s no clean run of waves on the radar for Noosa’s Boiling Pot. We’ve got a long, dusty stretch ahead before anything’s worth paddling out for. The first real window doesn’t even show up until late in the game, so don’t hold your breath this week.

The water’s sitting at a normal 70° for this time of year—nothing weird there, just your standard early spring chill.

The first few days are a write-off. Wednesday the 9th has a bit of ankle-to-knee high dribble, but it’s short-period slop with a light cross-off breeze. Not worth the paddle. Thursday the 10th? Yeah, no. The morning is tiny, and then the swell jumps to 10ft in the afternoon with a howling 25 mph SSE wind. That’s not surf; that’s a washing machine. The energy number spikes to (879), sure, but it’s all raw, unorganized power—no shape, no rhythm. This setup is way more interesting if you’re towing a kite than surfing a board.

The weekend doesn’t offer much salvation. Friday and Saturday have some size—6ft to 7ft—but the period is barely 7–8 seconds, and the wind stays cross-off and bumpy. It’s just not gonna line up on the point. By Sunday the 13th, it’s dropping fast, and we slide back into that flat, mundane reality for the next week straight.

There’s a whole lot of nothing from the 14th through the 23rd. Days of knee-high mush, poor conditions, and onshore junk. One morning—the 17th—looks glassy, but there’s no swell behind it. A few other mornings are clean but absolutely tiny. It’s a frustrating run, and honestly, for a spot like this, that’s not too unusual. It’ll come back around; forecasts change.

Now, if you’re holding out for something, circle Thursday the 24th. The morning shows 7ft of SE swell with a 7-second period, and the energy is cranking at (383). But—and there’s always a but—the wind is howling onshore from the north at 12 mph, and the afternoon gets worse with 22 mph. Even with that size, the Pot is going to be a messy, blown-out beast. Not clean, not organized. For the experienced crew, there might be some raw power to wrestle with, but it’s not the gem we’re hoping for.

So, the long and short of it: The best on offer is that Thursday morning, but it’s far from perfect. It’s a promise of energy, not necessarily of a good wave. Keep an eye on it, but don’t plan your life around it.

Rusty.
