The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks for Noosa’s Boiling Pot.
The first week is a slow starter, but it gets properly good later. The early days are small and clean, but the real standout is a big south-east groundswell that hits in the second week. It’s gonna be one for the experienced crew.
We kick off Thursday, 6 August with a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE at 8 seconds. Combined wave energy is weak (95), but the wind is light offshore from the south at 3 mph, so it’s glassy. It’s small, but you can get a few if you’re keen. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Friday the 7th sees a slight bump to 3ft from the east, still clean with a light offshore breeze. It’s surfable, but nothing special. Saturday the 8th stays similar, with 3ft east swell and clean conditions. The afternoon has a little more energy from a 2ft NE wave with 200 (moderate energy), but it’s still small.
Sunday the 9th is the best of the first week. The morning is glassy, with a 4ft east swell at 9 seconds and combined energy climbing to 259 (moderate). It’s clean, fun, and the pick of the early run. The afternoon turns choppy with a cross-onshore wind, so hit it early.
From Monday the 10th through to Wednesday the 12th, it’s small and ordinary. Waves hang around 2ft to 3ft, mostly clean but weak. There’s a few days where you’re just scratching for scraps.
Now, Thursday the 13th is where things start to heat up. The morning brings a 8ft SSE swell, short period at 7 seconds, but with a strong offshore wind from the south at 12 mph. Combined energy jumps to 541 (strong). It’s powerful and clean, but that short period means it’s walled up – best for the more experienced.
Friday the 14th is a cracker. The morning delivers 7ft from the SSE with a 10-second period, offshore winds, and combined energy of 1124 (very strong). This is serious groundswell size and quality. The period is long enough to give shape, and the offshore wind will make it clean. For experienced surfers, this is a standout session.
Saturday the 15th is the big one. A 13ft SE swell with an 11-second period slams in, and combined energy hits 5664 (very strong). The wind is offshore at 16 mph. This is exceptional, but it’s huge. Over 8ft, this is only for experts. The long period groundswell will be best at the point, as it might close out too fast on a beach. This is the standout of the whole forecast.
Sunday the 16th remains excellent, with an 8ft SE swell and a 12-second period, still offshore at 16 mph. The energy is still very strong (1546). This is a solid day for experienced surfers, with clean, powerful lines.
Monday the 17th holds at 7ft from the SE, 12-second period, still offshore. The energy drops a bit but remains strong (1181). It’s still excellent for the experienced.
Tuesday the 18th sees the swell drop to 4ft, with cross-offshore winds. It’s cleaner but smaller. Wednesday the 19th is similar, with 4ft and a gentle breeze. The energy is fading.
Thursday the 20th brings a nice little pulse of 5ft from the ESE with a 12-second period, clean cross-offshore winds, and combined energy of 556. This is a good, solid day for a wider range of surfers, but it’s promising rather than certain at this range.
Friday the 21st finishes the run with a clean 4ft from the ESE, gentle offshore wind, and moderate energy (332). A nice way to wrap it up.
So, for the standout: Saturday 15 August is the absolute highlight. The 13ft SE swell, long 11-second period, and clean offshore winds make it a day for the hardcore crew. It’s huge, powerful, and will be a proper session at Boiling Pot. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
