G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s in store at Noosa’s Boiling Pot for the next couple of weeks. There’s a bit of swell early on, but the wind’s gonna be a handful before we hit a sweet spot mid-week. After that, it gets real small and quiet, so pick your moments.

Starting Monday, July 6, we’ve got 8ft of short-period SE swell (7 seconds) with moderate energy (768). A fresh SSE breeze at 19 mph offshore keeps it clean, but it’s windy and the quality is marginal. Not the kind of session you’d call fun – more of a fight. Afternoon is similar with energy climbing (833), but still those stiff winds. Water temp is about average, nothing unusual.

Tuesday, July 7 drops to 7ft in the morning, period stretching to 10 seconds – better shape. But again, a fresh south wind at 19 mph offshore keeps it clean but breezy. Afternoon clears up, swell bumps to 8ft with a shorter 8-second period and energy drops (678). Still no cigar.

Wednesday, July 8 morning brings 8ft of SE swell with a 12-second period – that’s real groundswell, energy cranking at 1557. Wind is fresh offshore from the south at 19 mph, clean but pushy. Afternoon? The wind eases to 16 mph cross-offshore, still clean, and the swell holds at 8ft with that long 12-second period and bigger energy (1807). This is serious power at a point break – those long-period waves will wrap in but at 8ft, it’s for experts only. Direction is SE, working for the optimum ENE.

Thursday, July 9 morning is the pick. Swell drops to a solid 7ft, still SE, 11-second period. Wind is moderate offshore from the south at 16 mph, energy at 1540 – still strong. The forecast says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers” with a score of 4. This is your window: clean, lined-up sets, manageable size for good surfers, and long-period waves offering deep walls on the point. Afternoon fades to 4ft (482 energy), so get out early.

Friday, July 10 morning offers 5ft SE swell, 10-second period, moderate 13 mph offshore from the SSE – clean, energy at 595. Solid but not as punchy. Afternoon goes cross-offshore with 5ft and light breeze – still clean, but fading.

Saturday, July 11 morning is glassy – a 3 mph SW breeze, 4ft swell with 11-second period, energy at 290. Small and clean, good for a longboard. Afternoon drops to 3ft with a light cross-shore wind – marginal.

From Sunday, July 12 through to Sunday, July 19, it’s a long flat spell. Swell drops below 4ft, often down to 1.0–2ft, with weak energy mostly under 200. Winds swap between offshore, cross-off, and glassy, but there’s just not enough wave to bother. A few mornings like July 18 show 3ft with 12-second period and gentle offshore wind, but it’s too small.

Monday, July 20 and Tuesday, July 21 bring a tiny pulse of short-period NE windswell around 3ft, but onshore winds ruin it. Not worth it.

So the standout is Thursday, July 9 morning at Boiling Pot (Noosa) – 7ft SE groundswell, 11-second period, moderate offshore wind, strong energy (1540). For advanced surfers only, and with crowds “often”, expect company. Wednesday afternoon is also a big-energy option for experts, but wind is a bit stronger.

First week has the goods. After that, sit tight and wait.

Rusty.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions.
