The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here.
First up, we’re looking at Noosa – Boiling Pot. This is a classic point break, exposed and needing the right swell direction, and it’s inconsistent. Over the next two weeks, it’s a waiting game. There’s a big gap of nothing worth paddling out for, with the first real chance arriving on Wednesday, September 9th.
The water temperature is sitting at 69°, which is a touch cooler than usual for this time of year, but nothing too freaky.
Wednesday, September 9th is the standout. The morning session brings a 4ft swell from the southeast, with a clean, cross-off breeze. The energy is moderate (277), and it’s the best looking window in the whole run. That’s the one to aim for. The afternoon drops off a bit, and the wind swings cross-shore, so get out early.
Thursday, September 10th is a wild one. The morning is tiny, but the afternoon sees a big bump to 10ft from the southeast. That’s expert territory, and the wind is howling fresh cross-off. The energy is high (897), but it’s going to be wild and raw. Only for the very experienced.
Friday, September 11th still has some size, with 7ft in the morning and a clean offshore wind. The period is short though, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. Solid for the crew who know the spot.
Saturday, September 12th holds a 7ft afternoon pulse, but it’s cross-off and a bit messy. Good for a thrash if you’re keen.
From then on, it’s a slow fade. Monday, September 14th has a glassy morning, but only 3ft and weak energy (86). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. The rest of the second week is mostly small, weak, and uninspiring – with a few brief clean windows but nothing that’ll get your heart racing.
The call: Wednesday morning, September 9th, is your best bet. Clean, moderate energy, and a proper point break wave. Friday the 11th is a solid backup if you’re comfortable with bigger, short-period stuff. After that, it’s scraping the barrel.
