The Lowdown

G’day, it’s Rusty. The next two weeks are a bit of a slow burn for Noosa. We got a couple of near-flat days before it picks up, and the real action is tucked right at the tail end of the month.

The first decent look is Wednesday the 19th of August at Boiling Pot. It’s a 7 ft swell out of the ESE, with a short period of 8 seconds. Wind’s cross-off from the SE at 12 mph, keeping it clean, and the combined energy is moderate at 514. The water’s at 68°, which is a tad cooler than usual. The surf is marginal with the tide. By afternoon it drops to 5 ft but the period stretches to 11 seconds for a bit more push, and the energy hits 567, but wind picks up to 16 mph.

Thursday the 20th hangs in with 6 ft in the morning from the ESE, 8 seconds, cross-off wind at 9 mph, and energy at 701. Afternoon fades to 5 ft with energy down to 308. Nothing special.

Friday the 21st has 4 ft in the morning from the E, 8 seconds, light wind at 6 mph, and 207 energy. It’s labeled “good surf conditions,” but the short period makes it a bit fat.

Now, Saturday the 22nd of August morning is a treat – 4 ft of swell from the E, period a short 7 seconds, but the wind is glassy calm from the S at 3 mph. Energy is 146. Tiny, clean, and inconsistent, but if you want a glassy glide at a point, that’s your morning.

Then it goes flat. From Sunday the 23rd all the way through Saturday the 29th of August, swell is knee-high at best, with combined energy barely scratching 60. A proper lull.

On Sunday the 30th of August afternoon, it fires back up: 7 ft from the SE, period a short 7 seconds, combined energy at 401. But it’s a messy windswell with cross-off winds at 12 mph and marginal tides. Not the cleanest.

Here’s the standout: Monday the 31st of August morning. Swell at 5 ft from the SSE, period a short 6 seconds, but the wind is offshore from the SSE at 16 mph. Clean, offshore conditions on a point break. Combined energy is 264. The report says “good surf conditions.” That’s your best bet.

Tuesday the 1st of September morning is another good one: 4 ft from the SSE, period 9 seconds, offshore wind at 16 mph, and energy at 287. Rain showers but clean.

Wednesday the 2nd of September morning is promising: 5 ft from the SE at 11 seconds, cross-off wind at 16 mph, and strong energy at 548. Needs the right tide, but should offer some power.

To wrap it up: the first week is for the die-hards or small-wave fans. The crown jewel is Monday the 31st of August and Tuesday the 1st of September with clean offshore wind. The second week shows a pulse but it’s a longer-range call, so temper your expectations. For now, circle that last Monday and Tuesday of August.

Rusty.
