The Lowdown
Alright lads, Rusty here. Let’s break down the Noosa area. We’re looking at a quiet stretch for the next week or so, but there’s one cracker of a morning hidden in the second week that’s got my hopes up. The water’s at 68°F, which is about 2°F colder than usual for this time of year, so a wetsuit is a good idea.
The only spot in the game is Boiling Pot (Noosa) . It’s a point break that loves an ENE swell, but it’s known to be inconsistent, so you’ll need to be patient.
For the first week, from Monday the 24th through Saturday the 31st of August, it’s mostly flat and dull. The swell is tiny, from 4ft down to 2ft, with short period (7-8 seconds) and weak energy (between 52 and 159). The winds are mostly cross-off or cross, keeping the surface clean, but the waves are just too small and weak to be worth the paddle. Thursday morning the 27th has a clean offshore wind (SSE 15 mph) with a 2ft NE swell, but the energy is still weak (156) and the size is laughable.
From the 29th to the 31st, the energy climbs into the 300s and the swell hits 6ft on the 30th and 31st, but the period is still short (7 seconds) and it’s all "marginal." Not the kind of day you’d bother with.
Now, the standout. Tuesday, September 2nd, Wednesday morning is the one. The swell bumps up to 7ft from the east, with an 8-second period and a combined energy of 529 – moderate wave energy. But the real magic is the wind. It’s dead calm, glassy, with a NNW wind at 0 mph. For a point break like Boiling Pot, that’s as good as it gets. The waves will be clean, peeling, and perfect. This is the best call of the whole forecast.
Thursday morning, September 3rd is also decent, with 5ft ENE swell, glassy conditions (ESE 3 mph), and moderate energy (304). It’s a solid backup, but it doesn’t beat the Wednesday morning.
After that, the run fades out again through the rest of the second week, with small swell and onshore winds. The week of September 7th and 8th is just flat and choppy.
Boiling Pot is a fickle beast, but when it lines up like Wednesday morning, you’ve got to be on it. The long-range call is promising but not set in stone, but that one morning looks like a real beauty.
Rusty.
