Table - best surf conditions forecast for Noosa - Boiling Pot over the next 16 days.
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks.
We’re looking at a proper mixed bag. The good news is there’s some solid swell on the horizon, but you’re gonna have to be patient. The first few days are a bit of a write-off for quality surfing, but there’s a real standout period brewing in the second week that could be something special.
The water at Boiling Pot is sitting at 69°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want an extra layer.
The first real chance to get wet kicks off on Friday morning, July 10th. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the SE, with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is light southerly and offshore, so the surface should be clean and lined up. The combined energy is a solid (714), so there’s some push in the water. It’s looking very surfable, but it’s an advanced spot and often has a crowd, so be prepared to share.
Friday afternoon drops back a touch to 4ft, but the wind swings around to a cross-offshore from the SE. It’ll still be clean, but the energy drops (485).
Saturday morning, July 11th, brings a clean 4ft swell from the SE with a glassy 3 mph southerly breeze. A nice little morning session if you can get up early. The afternoon goes cross-shore and the swell drops under 3ft.
From Sunday through to Wednesday of the first week, it’s pretty flat. The swell is tiny, under 3ft, and the wind is either cross-on or too strong. The energy numbers drop way down into the hundreds and then the tens. There’s a few glassy moments, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. It’s a quiet patch.
Now, Thursday July 16th is where it starts to get interesting. The swell builds to 6ft, but the period is a short 8 seconds. The wind is howling offshore from the south at 22-25 mph. That’s strong offshore. It’ll be clean, but the wave shape and the paddle-out will be a fight. Friday July 17th is the true standout for the experts. The swell is a chunky 7ft from the SE with a long 12-second period, and the combined energy peaks at (1115). The wind is still a fresh offshore from the south. That is proper power, but it’s big. Over 8ft it’s for experts only, but at 7ft, it’s still a serious wave. This is for advanced surfers only.
Saturday July 18th and Sunday July 19th keep the swell at 5ft with clean offshore winds. The energy sits around (500-700). These two days are the best all-round bet for the stronger intermediate to advanced surfer. Consistent, clean, and a proper SE groundswell. The morning of Sunday 19th is particularly sweet with a gentle offshore.
The following week settles down. Monday July 20th has a glassy 3ft morning, and then Tuesday through Friday is small again, with clean but weak 2ft to 3ft conditions. Energy is low, under 250. Nothing to write home about.
Right at the very end, Saturday July 25th morning is worth a mention. The wind is dead calm, glassy, with a 4ft SE swell. It’ll be a pretty morning for a longboard, but it won’t have the punch of the earlier week.
So, here’s the short of it: the best quality surfing is on the weekend of July 18th and 19th, with consistent 5ft clean SE swell. If you’re an expert and want the biggest waves and can handle heavy offshore wind, then Friday July 17th is your day.
Stay tuned, forecasts can change.
Rusty.
