The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards.
First up, the water temp at Noosa's Boiling Pot is sitting at 69°F, which is pretty standard for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
The outlook for the next couple of weeks is a bit of a mixed bag, and honestly, there's a long stretch of very ordinary conditions to start. The best window is going to be the first day, Friday the 28th of August.
Friday, August 28th is your pick of the whole forecast. Early morning, we've got a clean 4ft swell from the SSE with solid 9 mph offshore winds. The wave energy is moderate, with a combined reading of 330. It's an exposed point break and it's inconsistent, so you'll be waiting for the sets, but when they come through, the Boiling Pot will have some nice shape. This is a spot for advanced surfers only, and crowds are often an issue here, so get in early.
After Friday, it goes pear-shaped. Saturday and Sunday see the swell drop or get messy with a 19 mph side-offshore wind. Through the first week of September, we're looking at tiny, weak surf with poor conditions – a lot of days barely scraping in at 1 - 2ft. The wind is all over the place, from glassy mornings to onshore slop. Don't bother paddling out unless you're desperate for a float.
The second week doesn't get much better. From the 9th of September, we see some very long period swell (19 seconds!) from the SE, but it's only 1ft. That long period energy (160) is more suited to a point break like this, but the size just isn't there to make it work. The energy is moderate but there's nothing to push it.
Honestly, the only standout is that Friday morning session. After that, there’s a solid two-week gap of poor to marginal surf. For most of the run, the winds are cross-shore or onshore, which kills the quality. Set your expectations low, and if that Friday morning doesn't work for you, you're waiting a while.
Stay safe, keep your eyes on that horizon.
