The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s coming up at Boiling Pot. This is a point break that’s exposed and inconsistent, and it really only fires when the stars align. It’s an advanced spot, so don’t be bringing the learner foamboard here.
The next few days are pretty average. Sunday morning (19 July) kicks off with a solid 13ft SE swell, long period 10s, and strong offshore winds, so it’s clean but a beast to paddle into. The energy is pumping hard at 3414, but it’s more of a battle than a joy. That kind of size is for experts only, and it stays big through Monday and Tuesday, dropping from 13ft to 10ft, still with clean but breezy conditions. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The standout in this whole run is the first Saturday of August (1 August). That morning, we’ve got a 13ft SE swell (9s period) with glassy conditions – no wind at all. The combined energy is a massive 2309, and it’s clean, powerful, and lined up. This is proper heavy groundswell, so it’ll be wedging off the point, but that size is strictly for experienced surfers. The afternoon drops to 10ft but stays clean with a light cross-off breeze. This is the one to circle on the calendar, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the models.
Before that, the week of 22 July sees a drop in size. Wednesday morning (22 July) has 7ft E swell (9s) and light winds, with energy at 686 – it’s clean and far more manageable. Thursday morning (23 July) goes glassy with 5ft E swell (8s), but the energy is down to 334, so it’s small but fun for a bigger board. From Friday (24 July) onwards, it gets pretty ordinary with small, weak swell under 3ft for several days, and the energy drops into the double digits. There’s a five-day gap from 24 July to 29 July where it’s hardly worth paddling out.
Then, after the 1 August standout, Sunday (2 August) morning offers a solid 7ft SE swell (8s) with offshore wind and energy at 598 – clean and good for experienced surfers, but not the same calibre as the Saturday. Monday (3 August) morning fades to 4ft.
So, the real highlight is the first Saturday of August at Boiling Pot. It’s big, glassy, and powerful. If you’re advanced and can handle it, that’s your window. The rest of the run is either too big and onshore, or too small to bother with.
