Table - best surf conditions forecast for Noosa - Boiling Pot over the next 16 days.


Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Noosa's Boiling Pot over the next couple of weeks.

First up, the water temp is sitting at about 69°, which is just a fraction cooler than what we'd normally expect for this time of year. Not a big deal, just a tiny bit of a chill.

Now, the honest truth? The first few days are pretty flat. We've got a long stretch of barely anything working here. From Sunday the 12th right through to Wednesday the 15th, the swell is tiny, with heights barely scraping 3ft and the energy sitting real low. The wind is messy, mostly cross-on, and the surf is just poor. It's one of those quiet spells where you're better off doing something else. Things stay quiet through Thursday the 16th, even though the swell tries to push up to 5ft, the period is short and the conditions are marginal at best.

The real standout is the window from Saturday the 18th of July through to Monday the 20th. That's where this forecast comes alive. The swell builds properly, hitting 13ft on Saturday morning, coming from the SE with a solid 10-second period. The combined energy jumps to 2874 – that's moderate to strong, and it's got some real power behind it. The wind is offshore on Saturday afternoon, which is a massive plus for Boiling Pot. This is a point break, so that long-period groundswell will wrap in beautifully, giving you long, clean lines. Sunday the 19th is even bigger, with swell holding at 13ft and energy topping out at 6602. That's a lot of water moving. But, and this is a big but, this is a wave for advanced surfers only. Anything over 8ft is expert territory, and 13ft is no joke. The period is 11 seconds, so it's quality groundswell, but you need to know what you're doing at this size.

Monday the 20th is still excellent, with the swell dropping a touch to 8ft, but the wind is still offshore and the energy is strong. This is the pick of the bunch for experienced crew. The break is inconsistent, so you'll have to be patient, but when the sets come through, they'll be worth it.

Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd are still very good, with the swell dropping to 6ft and 6ft, and glassy conditions on the Wednesday morning. That's a much more manageable size for a good crew, and the period is long at 12 seconds, so it'll be beautifully shaped. This is where the less experienced surfers can get a piece of the action.

After that, the swell slowly fades through the rest of the week. Thursday the 23rd onwards is back to smaller, weaker surf, with cross-on winds returning. The last real bit of hope is Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th, where the swell is small but clean, with glassy conditions on the Sunday afternoon. It's a nice way to wind down the forecast.

So, the call is clear: the best on offer is the 18th to the 20th of July for the big, powerful, offshore conditions. If you're not an expert, aim for the 21st and 22nd of July for cleaner, more manageable waves. Crowds are often here at Boiling Pot, so expect company, especially on the good days.

Rusty.
