The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this 16-day window for Noosa is a bit of a tough one. We’ve got small, inconsistent surf and a lot of less-than-ideal wind, so you’ll be hunting for the cleanest windows. The best of the lot is a very specific, early-morning call that’s worth setting an alarm for.

The first real chance of a surfable wave is this Thursday morning, the 27th of August. You’ll find a weak 2ft easterly swell at Boiling Pot (Noosa), with a period of just 8 seconds and a combined energy of 106. It’s tiny, but the wind is a clean offshore from the SSE at 15 mph, so the surface will be tidy. The water is sitting at 68°F, which is a bit colder than you’d expect for this time of year. Friday and Saturday look similar – small, 2ft to 3ft east swell, but with cross-offshore winds. It’s surfable, but ordinary.

Sunday the 30th pumps up a bit with a 6ft SE swell, but the period drops to a weak 6 seconds and the energy jumps to 276. That’s a lot of lumpy, short-period energy, and with a 19 mph SSE cross-off, it’s going to be messy – poor surf, I’d say.

Then we hit a flat, quiet spell. From Monday the 31st of August right through to Wednesday the 9th of September, it’s mostly poor conditions with tiny swell under 3ft and a lot of onshore or cross-onshore wind. Not worth paddling out for.

The real standout, though, is on Thursday the 10th of September. It’s a long way off, so keep an eye on it, but the morning shows a 6ft SE swell with a 7-second period and a combined energy of 350 – moderate wave energy. The wind is a clean cross-off from the SE at 15 mph, which will keep the face smooth. This is the biggest and cleanest swell of the window, but it’s a short-period swell, so expect it to be a bit lumpy and less organised than a groundswell. Friday the 11th holds similar energy at 6ft to 7ft, but the wind stays cross-off. For a point break like Boiling Pot, that SE swell direction is okay, but it’s not the perfect ENE it loves. Still, this is the best on offer—a solid, powerful option for a surfer who knows the lineup. It’s an inconsistent break, so don’t expect a set every minute, but when it comes, it’ll have push.

So, your best bet is clear: the morning of Thursday the 10th of September. The rest of the run is mostly small and average, with a few days of complete doldrums in between. Stay patient.

Rusty.
