The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s shaping up for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it’s a slow start. The first solid week is pretty flat and weak for Boiling Pot (Noosa). We’ve got some small, clean waves on the Friday morning with a 3ft east swell, but it’s barely pushing any energy (99) and the water temp is sitting at 69°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. Not much to get excited about. Saturday morning is similar, a little more energy (121) but still 3ft and clean with light southerly winds. Sunday morning is the pick of the first week – glassy conditions, 3ft east swell, and the energy bumps up to 215. That’s the best you’ll see for a while, but it’s still small and pretty average for Boiling Pot. After that, the wind turns onshore and choppy Monday through to Friday, with a few brief windows of clean but tiny surf. Honestly, it’s a bit of a dud until the second week.
The real story kicks off from Monday the 17th of August. The swell jumps up, and by Tuesday the 18th, we’ve got a solid 8ft southeast swell with moderate offshore winds – clean, punchy, and the energy is cranked up (613). That’s proper surf. Wednesday the 19th pushes to 10ft with cross-offshore winds, but the energy is massive (1368), and it’s getting big. Thursday the 20th is the standout – 10ft east-southeast swell, clean cross-offshore breeze, and the energy is huge (3550). That’s a serious groundswell, and with a period of 10 seconds, it’s got some grunt. But listen, this is big. Over 8ft means it’s expert territory only. Friday the 21st holds strong at 8ft with a 13-second period – that’s a long-period groundswell, and it’ll be peeling nicely at Boiling Pot, a point break, so it’s well suited. Crowds are likely here, so get in early.
The best of the best? Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st. Thursday’s 10ft swell with clean cross-offshore winds and massive energy (3550) is the standout, but it’s only for the experienced. Friday’s 8ft with a 13-second period and cross-offshore breeze is a bit more manageable and still pumping. After that, Saturday the 22nd drops to 6ft with gentle offshore winds – still a good session, but not as heavy.
So, if you’re keen, save your energy for the second week. The first week is a write-off for anything worthwhile.
Rusty.
