The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking.
We’re looking at a pretty slow start, truth be told. The first few days are small and messy, not really worth paddling out for. The swell’s tiny and the conditions are just ordinary. You’ll be waiting a while for anything decent, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
Come Tuesday the 1st of September, things start to turn. The morning at Boiling Pot (Noosa - Boiling Pot) sees a clean 5ft swell from the east, with a gentle breeze keeping it tidy. The combined energy is moderate (204), and it’s got a bit of push. The afternoon gets even better: 5ft from the east, light breeze, and the energy bumps up to 238. This is the first real standout of the period. The swell direction is right on the money for this exposed point, and the clean conditions are a big tick. It’s a point break, so that longer period (7 seconds) will wrap in nicely, but it’s not groundswell, so no worries about it being too straight. Crowds are often here, so expect company.
Wednesday the 2nd of September morning is the best on offer, full stop. Glassy conditions, 4ft from the ENE, and the combined energy is a solid 238. The water temp is about average for this time of year. That slight air, glassy surface is a surfer’s dream. This is your window. The swell is a little over three feet, but still fine for most intermediates. It’s not too big, but it’s clean and fun.
After that, it drops off again. The 7th of September Monday morning brings a nice spike: 6ft from the SE, with a cross-off breeze and combined energy of 385. That’s moderate to strong energy, and it’s clean. The swell direction is a bit off the optimum, but it’s still a good wave. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a bit short-period, but the size and conditions make it worth a look. Be aware though, 6ft is getting up there for beginners.
The rest of the second week is mostly small and ordinary, with a few clean but weak days. Nothing to get too excited about after that early September window.
Really, the standout is the 1st and 2nd of September at Boiling Pot. The glassy morning on the 2nd is the pick of the bunch.
Rusty.
