The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about the next couple of weeks in feet and degrees. It's a bit of a slow burn, but there's one morning that's got me grinning.
The water temp is around 69°, which is pretty standard for this time of year.
Saturday 8th August is a no-go. There's surf, about 3ft from the ENE, but the conditions are just average. You'd be better off waiting.
Sunday 9th August is the first sign of life. The morning is dead calm, glassy as a lake. The swell is a touch over 3ft from the east, with a solid moderate energy reading (211). It's clean, quiet, and worth a paddle. The afternoon goes to crap with a cross-onshore, so get in early.
Monday 10th August is a write-off. Onshore winds and a junky, short-period 4ft NNE swell. Leave the board in the car.
Tuesday 11th through to Saturday 15th August is a long, flat, boring stretch. We're looking at 1ft to 2ft of swell, and even with offshore winds, there's nothing to ride.
Sunday 16th August is still tiny.
Monday 17th August gets a bump. The afternoon sees a 6ft ESE swell, but it's short period and the wind is a fresh cross-offshore. The energy is there (347), but it's messy. Not a clean paddle surfer's wave.
Tuesday 18th August through Wednesday 19th August is in that marginal zone. 5ft to 6ft of short-period swell, with cross-off winds. It's rideable, but not special.
Here's the big one: Thursday 20th August. The morning is the standout of the whole forecast. A gentle offshore breeze from the SSE is cleaning the faces up perfectly. The swell is a solid 4ft from the ESE, with a combined energy of 235 (moderate). The report says "expect good surf conditions," and I'm all in. It's not huge, but it's clean, well-angled, and the wind is right. For the advanced crew at Boiling Pot (Noosa), this is the session to mark on the calendar. Expect some company, but with that clean offshore flow, it'll be worth it.
Friday 21st August is okay but ordinary. From Saturday 22nd August onwards, the swell fades back to 2ft and below, and that's your lot.
Bottom line: Thursday morning, 20th August. That's the one.
Rusty.
