The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, checking in from the home beach. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, so we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up. The main story is Boiling Pot at Noosa, and it’s got a few solid windows, but it’s not going to be non-stop. The first few days are the real highlight, with some decent east swell and clean conditions. After that, things get a bit quiet for a while before a possible pulse of energy right at the back end of the outlook.
We kick off on Wednesday the 22nd. The morning is looking good. Swell is a clean 6ft from the E, with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is a gentle cross-off at 9 mph from the SE. The water temp is about average for the time of year. The combined energy is up there at 730, which is solid, and the waves are going to be clean. The afternoon holds up too, with a 5ft swell and the wind dropping to 6 mph, still cross-off. The energy drops to 408, but it’s still a fun session.
Thursday the 23rd is another good one. Early morning we’ve got 4ft of E swell, period dropping a touch to 8 seconds, but the wind is a glassy 3 mph from the SSW. It’s a cross-off, and the energy is 245. It’s going to be clean. The afternoon gets a bit trickier as the wind swings onshore, so the morning is the pick there.
Friday the 24th morning is a small one, only 3ft from the E, but the wind is a solid offshore from the S at 12 mph. Energy is 141, so it’s small but clean. The afternoon though, the wind cranks up to 19 mph from the SSE and the swell jumps to 7ft from the SE, but with a short 6-second period. That’s a messy, choppy setup. It’s a beach and reef, so honestly, that afternoon looks more like a kite session than a paddle one.
Saturday the 25th is back to the goods. Morning has 4ft of SSE swell, a 7-second period, and a gentle offshore wind from the S at 9 mph. Energy is 318, and it’s clean. The afternoon is a bit smaller at 4ft but cross-off wind, still clean. A solid day.
Now, after that, we hit a lull. From Sunday the 26th, the swell drops away. We’re looking at 2ft or less for days on end. The wind is light and clean at times, particularly on Sunday the 26th, but there’s just no power in the water. The energy drops into the double digits. This quiet spell runs right through to the end of July and into the start of August. It’s a long gap of about a week with nothing worth paddling out for.
Then, we get a flicker of hope. On Tuesday the 4th of August, the morning looks promising. We get a jump in the swell to 4ft from the SSE, with a 7-second period, and the wind is glassy, calm out of the NNW. The energy is 258, and it’s clean. The afternoon gets messy again with onshore wind, but that morning session is a standout for the second week.
The following morning, Wednesday the 5th of August, has a similar size at 5ft from the SE, but the period is short at 6 seconds and the wind is cross-on. It’s marginal. Thursday the 6th brings a 5ft SE swell with an 8-second period and a cross-shore wind, but it’s still only a marginal call.
So, the best on offer is hands down the morning of Wednesday the 22nd through to the morning of Saturday the 25th. That’s your window. The other standout is the glassy morning of Tuesday the 4th of August, but that’s more of a promising one to keep an eye on, as it’s a fair way out.
Remember, Boiling Pot is a point break, so it handles that east and southeast swell well, but it’s inconsistent, so you’ve got to be patient. The crowds can be an issue here too, especially when it’s good, so be prepared for a few people out.
That’s the wrap. Keep your eyes on the horizon.
Rusty.
