The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty here, looking over the next sixteen days for Boiling Pot at Noosa.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch. If you’re looking for good, clean surf, this is a pretty lean period. There’s a big gap right from now with hardly anything worth paddling out for. Over the first week and a half, it’s mostly small, weak, and a bit sloppy. We don’t get a real standout until that second week kicks in.
Let’s take it from the top. The whole first week, from Tuesday the 1st of September through the weekend, is pretty grim. The swell is tiny, often barely reaching 2ft, and what’s coming in is mostly from the east with some north-northeast wind blowing across the face. The combined swell energy is weak – we are looking at numbers between 38 and 94 in the brackets, so little power behind it. The water is 68°F, which is about 2°F colder than usual for this time of year. That’s a bit nippy, so you’ll want a spring suit.
Now, the one real standout in this whole outlook lands on Monday morning, the 7th of September. It’s not big, with the swell hitting about 2ft from the northeast, but the wind is glass. Absolutely glass. Light offshore breeze from the east. The water is clean. That’s about as good as it’s going to get for an early session. But it’s short-lived – the afternoon gets a bit of breeze and it’s gone.
The following week sees some more promising signals, but nothing to get your heart racing. On Thursday the 10th of September, we get a small punch of swell from the south-southeast, around 2ft. The wind is light and cross-offshore, which will keep the surface clean at Boiling Pot. The combined energy is reading 80, which is still just moderate. It’s a surfable wave, but very ordinary.
The next morning, Friday the 11th, we get the best of the second week. It’s still very small, only 2ft from the south-southeast, but the wind blows offshore from the south. Clean conditions again. That window is likely the pick of the second week, but it demands patience. Crowds are often a factor at Boiling Pot, so expect company.
The weekend of the 12th and 13th brings some cleaner wind again, with the swell from the southeast showing some longer periods – getting up to 11 to 13 seconds. That long period groundswell is prone to breaking a bit straight on the beach, but at a point break like Boiling Pot, it can wrap in nicely. The energy remains low – the combined readings are in the 47 to 82 range – so it’s really about a few clean, glassy windows rather than any power.
As we push into the second half of September, the swell continues to be small and inconsistent. The swell direction shifts to the east-southeast. The best shot is on Monday the 14th of September in the early morning, with the wind glassy again, and the swell hanging around 1ft with a period around 11 seconds. That is the most promise we get after the first week, but it’s a real patience game.
In short, the whole period is a bit of a bust for consistent surf. The main thing to look at is that Monday morning, 7th of September, for a glassy, clean 2ft wave from the northeast. The next action worth your time is not until Thursday morning the 10th, with an offshore wind and small south-southeast swell.
This isn’t a time to expect big rides; it’s a time to enjoy a clean, log-able wave from a classic Noosa point break. Keep your expectations low, your wetsuit handy, and your eyes on the wind.
Rusty out.
