The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's brewing for the next couple of weeks.
First up, we are looking at Boiling Pot, a point break that's built for the advanced crew. The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The outlook starts off with a bit of a wait. We've got a solid run of days from Thursday, September 10th, all the way through to the middle of the week after that, where the conditions are just not cooperating. The swell is too short-period and the wind is a constant cross-off, which is a shame because there's some decent size in the water. On Thursday the 10th, we're looking at 8ft to 10ft swell from the SE with a weak 7 to 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate but messy (533 to 964). It's a no-go, and honestly, it stays that way for days. The whole of the first week is a write-off, with a lot of poor surf conditions and marginal calls. The energy drops right off into the 58 to 98 range for a few days.
There's a glimmer of hope on Thursday, September 17th, with a 5ft ESE swell, but it's still just a marginal call. That's not really the one to get excited about.
The real standout, the one that has me stoked, lands on Thursday, September 24th. The afternoon sees a 4ft swell from the SE, but the period jumps to a proper 10 seconds, and the energy is moderate at 285. The wind is glassy. That's the magic word. This is a classic setup for a point like Boiling Pot. The offshore wind on Friday the 25th is clean too, but the swell is much smaller at 2ft.
So, the best of the lot is Thursday the 24th. That afternoon glass-off with a 4ft, 10-second groundswell from the SE is what you're waiting for. It's a solid point break wave, and with those conditions, it'll be a ripper. Just be aware, this break is inconsistent and crowds are often there, so you'll want to be sharp.
Keep in mind, the consistent run of poor conditions in the first week might lead to some desperate vibes, but that 24th is worth the wait. The forecasts are always more reliable the closer you get, so keep an eye on that one.
Rusty.
