The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ here in the Noosa region, specifically at Boiling Pot. This spot is a real classic, a point break that only lights up for the advanced crew, and it’s inconsistent, so when it’s on, it’s a treat. But we’ve got a bit of a wait. The first week is pretty much a write-off, with tiny waves, dodgy winds, and just poor conditions all round. The water temp is sittin’ around 69°, which is a bit colder than the usual for this time of year. Not a huge shock, but it’s worth a steamer if you’re feelin’ the chill.
Things start to look up on Friday, September 11th. The morning brings a solid 5ft swell from the SE, with a 7 second period, and a clean offshore breeze from the SSE at 15 mph. The combined energy is moderate (251). This is a proper window of clean, surfable waves. It’s not the biggest, but the offshore wind will make it line up. That afternoon, it drops a touch to 5ft, but still clean. This is the best of the early run.
Now, skip ahead to the real standout. Friday, September 18th. The morning session is the one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the SE, but check out the period – 18 seconds! That’s a very long period groundswell, absolutely packed with energy. The combined energy is a massive 1004, so there’s serious power in the water. The wind is light and offshore from the S at 6 mph, meaning glassy, clean conditions. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The long period will make it bend beautifully around the point, offering long, deep waves. Just be aware that with such a long period, the sets might be a bit more spaced out, but the paddle out will be easier. It’s the highlight of the whole 16-day window, no question.
Before that, on Thursday, September 17th, there’s a bit of a tease. The morning shows a 4ft SE swell with a 12 second period (487 combined energy), but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit messy. The afternoon sees a 2ft swell with a 17 second period (318 energy), but it’s onshore and messy. Not worth the paddle.
After the 18th, it fades out. The 19th and 20th drop off quickly with smaller swell and fresh cross-offshore winds, making it less appealing.
Look, it’s a lean run for Boiling Pot. It’s inconsistent by nature, so a quiet week isn’t unusual. But that Friday, September 18th, is the one. Get on it if you can.
