The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Look, we’ve got a bit of a flat run ahead for the next fortnight at Boiling Pot (Noosa). The swell energy is weak, sitting under 200 most days (180 at best), with short-period east-northeast windswell mostly around 2ft to 4ft. It’s not going to be a classic Noosa point break session. There are gaps of several days where the surf is just too ordinary to get excited about.
Friday the 21st, there’s a little 4ft east swell (180 combined energy) with a light cross-off breeze in the morning, keeping it clean enough but the waves are just average. Saturday the 22nd morning looks flat and glassy with a 3ft east swell (114 combined energy), but it’s weak. Not worth paddling out for.
The standout in this whole period is Thursday the 27th of August, afternoon. The swell jumps to 5ft from the ESE with a moderate 341 combined energy, and we’ve got a clean cross-off breeze from the ESE. That’s the best on offer – the waves will have a bit more push and be well-shaped for the point. It’s an advanced spot and it can be inconsistent, so don’t expect it to run all session, but that’s the moment to be in the water.
Sunday the 30th of August morning has another 5ft ENE windswell (191 combined energy) and clean cross-off wind, but the period is only 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly. Good for a paddle if you’re desperate.
From the 31st of August into early September, the swell stays small and ordinary, with a SE wind keeping it clean but the energy is low (under 200 most days). The 1st of September morning is glassy with a 3ft east swell (159 combined energy) but again, not enough grunt for a quality wave. The 3rd of September afternoon shows a 4ft east swell with a long 11-second period (396 combined energy) – that’s a promising groundswell signal, but it’s over a week away and the wind is moderate, so keep an eye on it.
All up, if you’re after a surf, target Thursday the 27th afternoon. The rest is mostly a waiting game.
Rusty.
