The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a 16-day run for the Noosa region, but honestly, the first real action is a bit of a beast. Don’t get too excited too early, because the good stuff comes with a serious health warning.
The opening salvo hits hard on Sunday, July 19th. A solid 15ft swell from the SE is pounding the coast, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a lot of water moving. The wind is a strong offshore from the SSE, which will keep the surface clean, but the sheer size of it (combined energy of 4109) makes it a real handful. The wave comment says it’s too big for the break, so unless you’re an absolute pro on a gun, this is a day to watch from the headland. The water temp is sitting at 69°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
By the time we get to Monday, July 20th, the swell drops a touch to 13ft, but the wind goes cross-offshore. The energy is still massive (3676 and 3051), so it’s still a heavy, powerful ocean. The consistency picks up a bit through the week, but the size is still well over 8ft, so this is strictly for the experts.
The real standout of the whole period, and the best bet for a proper session, looks like Wednesday, July 22nd. The swell has dropped to a much more manageable 6ft from the E, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is light and cross-off, which will keep the lines clean. The wave energy is moderate (460), and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the window where Boiling Pot starts to work its magic.
Following that, Thursday, July 23rd remains okay with a 4ft E swell and light winds, but it’s pretty small. By Friday, July 24th, we’re into a run of very small, weak swell (under 3ft) with combined energy dropping into the low hundreds and even below 100. The conditions are clean, but there’s just not enough push. That flat spell runs right through the end of July and into the first few days of August.
There is a tiny flicker of life on Wednesday, July 29th, with a 2ft SE swell but a very long 16-second period. That gives a moderate energy of 223, and the wind is light offshore. It’s small, but that long period could wrap in and offer a few clean, zippy lines if you’re patient. It’s a specialist’s wave.
So, the bottom line: the best surf on offer is Wednesday, July 22nd, with the 6ft E swell and light winds. It’s the most user-friendly and consistent day by a long shot. Get it while you can, because after that, the window slams shut for a long stretch.
Rusty.
