The Lowdown
G'day, it's Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Noosa's Boiling Pot over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, for the next week or so, it's pretty grim. There's a long stretch of small, weak, and mostly messy conditions. The water temp is sitting at 69.8°, which is pretty average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
We start off with a bit of swell on Friday the 11th, 6.6 ft from the SE, but that 8-second period is short and weak, and a 16 mph south-easterly is blowing side-offshore, just not doing us any favours. Combined energy is moderate at 445, but the forecast calls it marginal. That theme continues right through until Wednesday the 16th – we're looking at small waves, often under 3 ft, with poor winds onshore or cross-off, and very low energy readings often under 100. It's a proper flat spell.
Then things start to look up on Wednesday the 16th afternoon, a bit of a wind spike with a 22 mph SSE breeze and a 7.9 ft SE swell, but it's cross-off and the energy jumps to 510. It's still a bit rough around the edges though.
The standout window is Thursday the 17th through Saturday the 19th. Thursday morning is the pick – we've got a 7.5 ft SE groundswell with a 9-second period, and a 19 mph southerly blowing straight offshore. That's clean, solid, and the energy is 816 – strong. This is definitely the best quality on offer. By Thursday afternoon, it jumps to a big 9.8 ft SE swell and the energy hits 1037, but that wind swings and becomes a strong cross-off at 25 mph, so it'll be a challenge even for the experienced ones. Friday the 18th morning holds at 7.5 ft SE from that same groundswell, with a clean offshore 16 mph SSE wind – another fine session. Saturday the 19th afternoon is also clean with 5.2 ft ESE and a solid 10-second period, energy at 511.
After that, from Sunday the 20th onward it drops right back into the doldrums again with tiny surf and cross or onshore winds, no real energy to speak of.
The real takeaway: It's a bleak start and finish, but look to Thursday the 17th through Saturday the 19th for your best chance. Thursday morning with that clean 7.5 ft offshore SE swell is your absolute winner – it'll be clean, powerful, and that point should line up nicely. Expect crowds though, Boiling Pot is a popular spot and it's often busy.
