The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s break down what’s in the water for Boiling Pot.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a sparse forecast overall. From July 23rd right through to the end of the month, there’s a whole lot of days with either tiny surf or howling winds. The water temp is about 68°F, which is pretty standard for this time of year, no big deal.
The one real bright spot, and the session to aim for, is Thursday morning the 24th of July. For that first light session, you’ve got a 4ft east swell with a light south-southwest offshore wind—clean faces, and the east direction is exactly what this point needs to line up. The combined energy reads moderate at 245. Now, Boiling Pot is a tricky, advanced wave and it’s inconsistent, so you might wait for sets, and with a name like that, expect company. Thursday afternoon hangs in there, a little smaller at around 4ft but still clean with a cross-off breeze.
After that, the quality drops off a cliff. Friday the 25th morning has just 3ft of easterly swell but the wind is stiff from the south, making for ordinary conditions. From the 26th onward into the start of August, it’s mostly knee-high dribble – 2ft and under with next to no energy. The 30th of July shows a 6ft swell, but it’s getting thumped by 28 mph offshore winds, which makes paddling out a nightmare and chops up the face.
Come August 5th, the swell really builds: 8ft of east-southeast swell with strong energy of 878. That’s big enough to be expert territory only. The wind is cross-offshore and it’s not glassy; it’s going to be lumpy and a bit of a fight. You might see some power in the waves, but don’t expect the classic clean peelers.
So, bottom line: Thursday the 24th is your best bet. After that, it’s a long wait for any real quality.
