The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Noosa’s Boiling Pot over the next couple of weeks.
First up, we've got a bit of a flat spell to kick things off. The first few days are pretty much a write-off for any real surfing, with tiny, weak dribbles. You’re looking at a gap of about three days before anything gets going.
The real story starts to unfold on Thursday, the 16th of July. The wind swings hard offshore, but the swell jumps up quick. We’re talking 8ft on Thursday morning from the SSE, jumping to 10ft by the afternoon. The wave energy is massive (1290), but that short period of 8 seconds makes it a bit of a washing machine. This is expert territory only. It's gonna be clean, but you’ll be fighting to get into anything. Honestly, this setup looks a lot more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the rest of that week.
We've got a solid run of big, powerful, offshore swell from the 16th right through the 20th. Sizes hang around the 8ft to 13ft mark with combined energy readings peaking at a massive 3219 on the 19th. The wind is honking offshore, so it’ll be clean, but it’s a serious handful. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The standout window, and what I’d be circling on the calendar, is Thursday the 23rd of July. The swell drops to a much more manageable 7ft from the East, with a beautiful 11-second period. The wave energy is still solid (1037), but the wind goes light and cross-off. This is where the magic happens. The break is a classic point, and that long period groundswell will wrap in perfectly. It’s a standout for experienced surfers, just be aware that crowds are often a thing here at Boiling Pot. It's the best on offer.
After that, things settle down into the 5ft to 6ft range for the final days of the month. Sunday the 26th of July afternoon looks fun with glassy conditions and 5ft swell, a nice way to finish the run. The 28th of July also looks promising with early morning glass and a clean 5ft from the ESE.
So, overall, a slow start, a big, powerful middle, and a sweet, clean window around the 23rd. Keep your eyes on that Thursday.
Rusty.
