The Lowdown

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Noosa. The forecast is a bit of a slow burner. We’ve got a real flat spell kicking things off, with a few small, weak pulses that aren't worth getting too excited about. Honestly, the first week is mostly small and messy, with a lot of cross-onshore wind messing things up. You’d be fighting for scraps. Then, things start to properly wind up in the second week, with a big, powerful swell train rolling in, but it comes with a lot of wind. It’s gonna be a story of two very different fortnights.

The first real chance of a wave comes on Saturday the 8th, but it’s barely a pulse. Boiling Pot is showing a 2ft east swell with an 8-second period, and the energy is weak at 116. The water temp is 68°F, which is about normal for this time of year. It’ll be surfable, but nothing to write home about.

The one standout in that first stretch is Sunday morning, the 9th. We get a nice little bump to 3ft of east swell, with a slightly longer 9-second period. The wind is forecast to be glassy, which is a huge plus. The energy is moderate at 211, and it’s coming from the east – pretty much bang on for Boiling Pot’s optimum ENE direction. This is your window for a clean, fun session before it gets messy in the arvo. It won’t be big, but it’ll be clean, and that’s a win.

From there, the week goes a bit pear-shaped. The wind swings onshore and the swell drops back down to nothing. There are a few mornings with clean conditions, but the swell is just too small and weak to be any good. It’s a frustrating stretch where you’ll be checking the cam and shaking your head.

Now, for the second week. Around Monday the 17th, the swell starts to build in a serious way. We’re looking at a jump to 6ft, but the period drops to a short, junky 6 seconds. The energy is ramping up, but the wind is fresh and strong. This is more of a wind-swell event than a clean groundswell. It stays like this for a few days, with the swell getting bigger – up to 8ft by Wednesday the 19th – but with that short period and fresh cross-offshore winds, it’s going to be a lumpy, challenging paddle. This is not for the faint-hearted.

The period finally starts to lengthen going into the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd. Swell hangs around the 7ft to 8ft mark with a more respectable 10-11 second period. The energy figures are huge, reading in the 1600s to over 2000, which tells you there’s a lot of power in the water. But the wind is still fresh onshore/cross-offshore, so it’s going to be a wild, powerful, and probably pretty raw session. This is serious, expert-level surf. The Pot can handle it, but it’s going to be a battle. It’s promising, but that wind is a major caveat, and with that much energy, it’s not a spot for the inexperienced.

So, if you’re keen, make the call for Sunday the 9th. It’ll be the cleanest, most user-friendly wave of the whole period. For the big dogs, watch the 21st and 22nd, but be ready for a fight.

Rusty.
