The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Noosa – Boiling Pot over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – this stretch is lookin’ pretty grim overall, so don’t get your hopes up too high. We’ve got a long dry spell ahead with barely a ripple worth paddlin’ for.

The water temp is sittin’ around 70°, which is pretty much dead average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The combined swell energy is weak to very weak across the whole run – mostly values in the double digits, occasionally scrapin’ into the low 100s. That tells you there’s just no push in the water.

For the first few days, from Sunday 6 September right through to Wednesday 9 September, the surf is tiny – we’re talkin’ 0.3 ft to 3 ft max, and most of that is short-period slop around 5 to 8 seconds. Winds are mostly cross-off or cross, which would normally be alright, but with no size, it’s just not worth paddlin’ out. The forecast scores are rock bottom – no recommendations here.

Then comes Thursday 10 September – now this is a bit of a weird one. The swell jumps to 8 ft to 10 ft from the SE, period still short at 7 to 8 seconds, and combined energy hits 552 and even 1177 – that’s strong to very strong energy. But the wind is SSE at 25 mph, which is a strong breeze and cross-off, so the surface is clean but the power is all wrong for Boiling Pot. The swell direction is SE, and this spot really wants ENE for the best shape. It’s also way too big for beginners – over 8 ft is expert territory only. This setup might actually be more interestin’ for kite surfing than paddlin’ a surfboard. The forecast rates it marginal at best.

Friday 11 September through Sunday 13 September sees the swell drop back to 5 ft to 6 ft, still short period around 7 seconds, with moderate breezes from the SSE and SE. Combined energy is moderate in the 200 to 350 range. Winds are cross-off so the waves are clean, but the direction is still off. It’s surfable but ordinary – nothin’ to write home about.

From Monday 14 September onward, it fades fast. Swell drops below 4 ft, periods get even shorter around 6 seconds, and the energy is weak again. There are a few glassy moments on Tuesday 15 September morning and Wednesday 16 September morning, but with only 2 ft to 3 ft of weak, short-period swell, it’s barely a ripple. The rest of the week and into the second week – right through to Monday 21 September – is all tiny, messy, or flat. Winds shift around, but it doesn’t matter because there’s no wave to work with.

Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a write-off for Boiling Pot. There are no standout sessions, no real swell, and nothin’ to get excited about. If you’re itchin’ for a paddle, maybe the clean mornings with glassy conditions on 15 and 16 September could give you a few micro-sessions, but you’d be lucky to catch anything rideable.

It’s one of those runs where the forecasts might change, so keep an eye out, but for now, I’d leave the board in the car.

Rusty.
