The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for our local stretch.
We’re looking at a pretty quiet spell for the next week or so, with a few small windows of surfable but ordinary conditions. The standout opportunities are going to be a couple of mornings where the wind plays nice, and a later pulse of stronger southerly swell that’s worth keeping an eye on, but it comes with some serious wind.
First up, we’ve got Boiling Pot (Noosa). Water temp is sitting at 69°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The best early bet is Sunday morning, August 9th. The swell is coming from the east at 3 ft, with a period of 9 seconds, offering moderate energy (199 combined energy). The real kicker is the glassy wind—just a slight air from the ESE at 3 mph. That’s going to make for clean, pretty lines. It’s a point break, but remember, Boiling Pot is inconsistent and for advanced surfers only.
After that, we hit a dry patch. The rest of the first week and into the second is mostly poor surf, with small, weak waves in the 1 ft to 3 ft range and a lot of cross or onshore wind. There’s a moment on Saturday morning, August 15th, with a 2 ft SE swell and gentle offshore winds from the south at 9 mph, but it’s still very ordinary.
Now, the real talking point is the Tuesday morning, August 18th and following days. The swell jumps up to 6 ft from the southeast, with a short period of 7 seconds, and strong energy (304 combined energy). That’s a solid jump in size, but it’s a short-period wind swell, and it’s accompanied by fresh offshore winds from the SSE at 19 mph. While the wind is offshore, that’s a lot of breeze for a spot like this, and the short period makes it choppy. This is really only for experts, and honestly, the combination of strong wind and a short-period swell might make it more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers. The conditions are described as marginal, and the energy fades a bit through the rest of that week.
So, to wrap it up: Sunday morning, August 9th is your best call for clean, glassy waves, even if they’re small. The bigger swell on the 18th is a gamble—strong and offshore, but rough and short-period. Keep your eyes on that Sunday morning.
Rusty.
