The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's take a real good look at what's coming down the pipe for our region over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a slow burner, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel if you're patient.
The forecast kicks off with a bit of a whimper. Wednesday the 16th has a weak, short-period swell, and while it's offshore, it's just too small and messy to get excited about. We're in for a proper flat spell after that initial pulse. From Friday the 19th right through to the start of next week, it's looking like a dead zone – days on end with barely a ripple and a lot of onshore or cross-onshore wind. It's the kind of stretch where you'd be better off tuning up your gear.
Things finally start to stir again around Sunday the 28th of September. There's a building swell from the east, but it's still a bit raw and trying to find its shape. The real standout, and I mean the one to circle on your calendar, comes early in the week: Tuesday the 29th of September. That morning, Noosa's Boiling Pot is set to fire. We're looking at a clean 6 ft of east swell, and it's due to arrive with that magic word: *glassy*. The wind is dead calm, the water is about average for this time of year, and the combined energy is solid at 608. This is an advanced wave for a reason – when it's on at the Pot, it's a proper, long, grinding point wave. Be aware, it's an inconsistent break, so you'll need patience between sets, but that long period (9 seconds) means the ones that come through will have some real punch. Get in early, because the crowd factor is something you'll have to deal with. The afternoon gets a bit messy as the wind swings onshore, so make sure you're on it first light.
After that peak, the swell eases back down through the end of the month and into October, with winds becoming more variable and cross-shore. It's not as clean, but the swell sticks around in the 4 ft to 5 ft range – rideable, but not the same quality as that Tuesday morning window.
