The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down what’s on the cards.
To be honest, the next 16 days are looking pretty flat and frustrating. There’s a long stretch of small, weak swells and average winds, so don’t get your hopes up for anything epic. The only real standout is a brief window of clean, offshore surf on the morning of Thursday, 27 August, but it’s not gonna set the world on fire.
Let’s start with that Thursday morning. At Boiling Pot (Noosa – Boiling Pot), we’ve got a small 0.7m (2 ft) swell from the east, with a short period of 8 seconds. The wind is offshore from the SSE at 12 mph, giving you clean, glassy conditions. The combined wave energy is weak at 106, so it’s not packing much punch, but it’s surfable. The water is sitting at 68°F, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year (anomaly of -2°F). This is a point break, so it handles the east swell okay, but it’s an advanced wave and inconsistent – it rarely breaks, so when it does, it’s a treat. Crowds are often here, so expect company. Thursday afternoon sees the wind shift cross-offshore, dropping the quality to poor.
Friday, 28 August, morning has a slightly bigger 0.9m (3 ft) swell from the SE, still offshore from the SSE at 9 mph, and the energy is moderate at 168. But again, conditions are just “surfable” – nothing to write home about. Afternoon fades again.
From Saturday, 29 August, right through to the end of the forecast, it’s a long run of poor surf. The swells stay tiny – mostly 0.4m to 0.6m (1 to 2 ft) – with weak energy, often under 100. Winds are messy: cross-off, cross-on, or onshore, with only a few glassy mornings (like Wednesday, 2 September and Friday, 4 September) but with no swell to speak of, you’re just looking at flat, clean water. By early September, we get a few days of NNE/N windswell around 1.3m (4 ft), but the period is short (5–6 seconds) and the wind is fresh cross-onshore, making it lumpy and choppy. That’s more kite-surfing territory than paddle surfing.
So, bottom line: if you’re keen, the best bet is Thursday morning, 27 August at Boiling Pot for a small, clean, offshore session. After that, it’s a long wait. The area doesn’t often stay this quiet for long, so forecasts can change – but right now, I’d be saving your energy.
