The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty quiet for Boiling Pot. We’ve got a slow start, and then a long stretch of small, average conditions. Don’t get your hopes up too high, but there is one little window that might be worth a look.

We start off on Wednesday, August 19, with a pulse of ESE swell around 7ft, but the period’s short at 8 seconds, so it’s not got much grunt. Combined energy is moderate (514). The wind is a cross-off from the SE at 12 mph, keeping things clean, but the comment says it’s marginal, and it’s only scoring a 2. Water temp is 68°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – about 2° below average, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit. Thursday morning the 20th sees a drop to 6ft, still short period, and light rain with a gentle ESE breeze. The afternoon looks a bit better with some clouds and a score of 2, but it’s still just average.

From Friday the 21st through to Tuesday the 25th, things really fizzle out. Swell drops under 3ft most days, with combined energy falling into the weak range (below 100). Winds are light but mostly cross or onshore, and the comments are either “ordinary” or “poor.” Saturday morning the 22nd has glassy conditions with a slight SSE breeze, but the swell is only 4ft from the east – not much to write home about. There’s a long stretch of nothing special here, so don’t plan a session.

Now, here’s the one highlight – it’s a bit of a standout, but it’s a long way off. On Sunday, August 30, we get a new pulse from the SE. The morning shows 5ft swell with a 9-second period and combined energy of 301 (moderate). Wind is a cross-off from the SW at 12 mph, so clean conditions. The afternoon is even better: 4ft, but the period stretches to 10 seconds, energy at 277, and a gentle SE breeze keeping it clean. It’s scoring a 2, and the comment says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the best of the whole run – promising, but remember it’s over a week away, so don’t bank on it.

After that, we fade again. Monday the 31st has a weird mix – morning has 5ft with a 6-second period (very short, weak energy at 187), but afternoon brings a 13-second groundswell at only 2ft, which is a long period but tiny. That’s more of a point-break kind of wave, and with moderate offshore winds, it could be clean but small. Then from September 1st onwards, it’s all under 2ft with weak energy and poor scores. The very last entry on September 3rd shows a 5ft pulse, but it’s a 6-second period with a “poor” comment – not worth paddling out for.

So, overall, it’s a pretty bleak outlook. The best bet is that Sunday, August 30, with the SE swell and clean winds. Everything else is small, short-period, or just plain ordinary. Don’t expect much, but keep an eye on that Sunday – it could be a pleasant surprise.

Rusty.
