Alright, let’s talk about what’s comin’ up for one of the most famous right-handers on the coast. We’re lookin’ at Noosa – Boiling Pot, no place else today. Just this little jewel of a point break that can fire like a dream when everything lines up.

Right out of the gate, this isn’t a classic start. The first real surf we can talk about is on Friday, July 10th into Saturday the 11th. That’s where the good stuff is. We’ve got a solid SE swell rolling in, around 4 ft to 4 ft with a period of 10 to 11 seconds – that’s got some proper grunt behind it. The water’s sitting at 69°, which is a touch cooler than usual for this time of year, so you might want a slightly thicker wettie. The wind is light – off the land from the south – giving us glassy, clean conditions. The energy is decent too, sitting around 317 to 451 – that’s a nice moderate push. For an advanced spot like this, that’s where it gets really fun. Keep in mind, though, this place is inconsistent and you’ll often find other crew out there waiting. It’s not a secret. But when it’s on like this, it’s worth the company.

Saturday afternoon still has clean little 3 ft waves, with a 13-second period, which is a lovely long groundswell. That long period will make the wave shape hold up beautifully on the point, with nice long rides.

Sunday, July 12th, though… things drop off. The wind turns cross-onshore from the northwest, and the swell dips to around 3 ft. It gets a bit messy. From Sunday afternoon right through until the middle of the following week, it’s pretty ordinary. There’s a big gap of small, weak surf from Monday 13th through Wednesday 15th – we’re talkin’ waves as small as 0.7 ft. Not worth paddling for. The combined energy drops to double digits – as low as 12 – so that’s barely a ripple.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting, but you’ve gotta be careful. Around Thursday, July 16th we see a rapid jump. Swell size climbs to 8 ft and the energy surges up to 634 – that’s strong. But the period is only 7 seconds. That’s short-period wind swell, and with a fresh 19 mph cross-offshore breeze, it’ll be lumpy and unruly. This is expert territory only – too big and raw for anyone without serious experience. It carries on like this for the next few days, with waves holding around 7 ft to 8 ft and energy up near 937 by Saturday 18th. The wind stays moderate to fresh, but it’s all cross-offshore. The quality is marginal – the sort of day where you might get a few, but you’ll be workin’ for ‘em. Not the pretty Boiling Pot you dream about.

By Sunday, July 19th, the swell drops back to 6 ft to 6 ft, still with short 8-second periods. The wind is better – a moderate SE breeze, still cross-off. It’s rideable but not the standout.

Then, lookin’ further out – Monday, July 20th, we get a nice little pulse: 6 ft from the east, 8 seconds, with a light SE breeze. Energy is 341 – moderate, pushy enough. The forecast says “expect good surf conditions” – that could be a solid, fun day on the point.

After that, the week rolls into smaller stuff again. Tuesday 21st through Friday 24th are mostly small, messy, or very ordinary – waves between 3 ft and 5 ft with light onshore or cross-shore breezes. Nothing to get excited about. A couple of mornings on the 22nd and 23rd get glassy with WNW winds and waves around 4 ft, but the energy is low and the conditions are just “surfable”. Not a destination day.

Saturday, July 25th finishes the run with a clean 4 ft wave and a gentle offshore from the SSW, but it’s short-period again. It’s a fun little session for the locals, but nothing that’ll blow your hair back.

If I had to pick the standout window, it’s hands down Friday July 10th and Saturday July 11th – clean, moderate groundswell, light offshore winds, good energy. That’s the best Boiling Pot is gonna look in this run. Later on, Monday July 20th is a promising second pick, but it’s more ordinary and a bit less certain. Everything else is either too big, too small, or too junky to really get the heart racing.

Alright, keep your eyes on the ocean. Won’t be long ‘til we’re back out there.

Rusty.
