The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, lookin’ at what’s on offer for Noosa’s Boiling Pot over the next couple of weeks. It’s a classic point break, handles an east-northeast swell best, and it’s a spot for the advanced crew. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the back half of the period has some real promise.
Right now, the water’s sitting at 69°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
First few days are flat-out average. Sunday the 13th has a weak 5ft ESE swell, but a cross-off wind and a short 6-second period are making for poor surf. Monday the 14th is surfable but ordinary, with a 3ft easterly. Tuesday the 15th is glassy in the morning with a tiny 3ft swell, but it’s just not got any push. Wednesday the 16th sees the swell drop right off. All in all, not worth paddling out for the first half of the week.
Then Thursday the 17th of September brings the real kick-off. We’re looking at a 7ft SE swell with an 8-second period, and the morning has a clean offshore S wind. The combined energy jumps right up to 524 (moderate energy), and the description says "expect very good surf conditions." This is your best bet for the near term – clean, solid lines at the Boiling Pot.
Friday the 18th keeps it going: a 7ft SE swell, period stretching to 10 seconds, 723 combined energy, and offshore SSE winds in the morning. Another standout session for the advanced crew, with good shape and energy.
Saturday the 19th is the pick of the bunch for the week. The swell holds at 5ft from the SE, the period is a nice 12 seconds (a proper groundswell), and combined energy is 632. Morning glass – NNE wind at just 3 mph – means perfect, clean conditions. That long period will really juice up the point, giving long, groomed walls. Crowds are often a factor here, so get in early.
Sunday the 20th sees the swell drop to 3ft with onshore winds – back to poor conditions. The rest of the period through to the 28th is a long, quiet stretch of small, weak swells and mostly messy winds. Monday the 28th is the last entry, and it’s a tiny 3ft easterly with a fresh cross-on northerly. Pretty much a blank run for the second week.
So, to sum it up: if you’re looking for the standout, it’s Saturday the 19th of September – morning glass, a solid 5ft long-period groundswell, and clean conditions. Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th mornings are also excellent. After that, it goes quiet. Don’t hold your breath for the second week.
Rusty.
