The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here.
Honestly, the next week and a half is looking pretty bloody flat and ordinary around Boiling Pot. We’ve got a run of poor surf conditions stretching from Monday the 31st of August all the way through to the 9th of September. You’ll be staring at ankle-to-waist high dribble, mostly under 3 feet, with a mix of onshore and cross-onshore winds chopping it up. There’s a couple of windows with light breezes and clean conditions – Tuesday the 1st and Thursday the 3rd mornings are the pick of a bad bunch – but the swell energy is weak (54 to 94) and the period is short, so it’s barely worth paddling out. The water temp is sitting around 68°, which is actually a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so a steamer might be the go.
The real story is the back half of the forecast. Things start to wake up on Thursday the 10th of September, with a long-period SE groundswell pushing in – 5ft at 12 seconds, energy jumping to a moderate 573. That’s a sign of things to come. Then Friday the 11th gets properly serious. A solid 10ft SE swell rolls in, with a strong energy reading of 1260 to 2102, and the winds are cross-off and clean. This is expert territory – way over the 8ft mark – so if you’re not confident, stay on the sand. Saturday the 12th stays big at 10ft with clean cross-off breezes, and the energy is still strong (1078 to 1509). The standout window is Sunday morning the 13th: 10ft of SE swell, period of 8 seconds, a gentle cross-off breeze, and the model is calling it “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” That’s the one I’m circling. Boiling Pot is a point break, so it should handle this size better than a beachie, but this is still a heavy, powerful wave – not for the faint-hearted.
After that, the swell eases back down through Monday the 14th at 8ft, still offshore and clean, but dropping. By Tuesday the 15th, the wind picks up to 30 km/h from the southeast, it gets lumpy and the energy fades. The direction is a bit east of the optimum ENE for the spot, so it’s not going to have that same peel.
Look, if you’re a competent charger, the 11th to the 13th is the real deal. Everything else before that is a flat spell. It’s a long wait, but it should be worth it. The long-range stuff is always a bit less certain, but when the energy reads four digits, you sit up and take notice.
Rusty.
