The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Noosa.
We’re looking at a solid 16-day run with a slow start, but there’s one clear standout for the experienced crew. The first proper surf arrives Sunday the 16th of August. A 1.8m swell from the southeast, short 6-second period, but with offshore wind. The wave energy is moderate (288), and those clean faces will be a treat. Boiling Pot is inconsistent and often crowded, but if you get a wave, it’ll be a good one. That’s the best of the outlook.
Monday the 17th brings a 2.2m swell from the east-southeast with a 7-second period and strong energy (508). It’s a bit bigger, so more for the advanced surfer. Wind is cross-offshore, still decent. Tuesday the 18th has peak energy (576) but the wind stays cross-off, and conditions are marginal.
After Thursday the 21st, the swell drops hard. The rest of the month sees small waves under 1.2m, with energy dropping to as low as 90. There’s a distant chance on the 29th of August with a long-period SE groundswell (13-14 seconds) and moderate-strong energy (396-467), but at Boiling Pot that long-period stuff tends to close out. Very uncertain.
Water temp is 68°F, normal for this time of year.
So for the real surfer: Sunday the 16th morning is the moment. Offshores, building swell, clean. Monday morning is the secondary option for more power. After that, it’s a long, flat, onshore lull.
Rusty.
