The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here to talk about what's ahead for Noosa's Boiling Pot.
First off, the water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year. Nothing weird going on.
So for the next 16 days, our only show in town is Boiling Pot. This spot is famous for being inconsistent, so we've got to be smart about when to paddle out.
The action starts on Thursday the 16th with a 8ft SSE swell. Wind is blowing offshore at 22 mph, which sounds clean, but that's a strong breeze – paddling out will be a real chore. The swell period is short at 7 to 8 seconds, so the waves won't have much grunt. The combined energy is moderate at 703, dropping to 614. It's surfable, but only if you're keen for a fight.
Friday the 17th sees a 7ft SE swell, but with a risk of thunderstorms and the wind going cross-off. Energy is lower at 454 and 403. A pass for me.
The real window is Saturday the 18th through Tuesday the 21st. Saturday morning starts clean with a 7ft SSE swell and a fresh offshore, energy at 856. But Saturday afternoon is where the spark hits. The swell jumps to 10ft from the SE, a nice 10-second period, and the combined energy rockets to 1704. That's real power, and the wind is still offshore. We stay in the 10ft to 12ft range through Sunday and Monday, with the energy peaking at 2498 on Monday morning. This is proper groundswell – those 10-second periods mean the lines will be fat and powerful. The wind goes cross-off on Monday, so the faces will be glassy but the take-off zone could be tricky. Tuesday still has clean, fun 8ft to 10ft waves. With the swell topping 8ft, this is for experienced surfers only. The absolute best looks like Sunday the 19th afternoon and Monday the 20th morning – massive swell, combined energy in the thousands, and clean conditions. Expect crowds to be likely – this is a classic spot when it's on.
After that, things settle. From Wednesday the 22nd through the 26th, we see the swell drop to between 5ft and 6ft. The combined energy drops back into the hundreds, meaning weaker, shorter-period waves. The winds look better, with some gentle offshore breezes on the 23rd and 24th, but the surf will be pretty ordinary. Thursday the 23rd is the best of this quiet spell – a 5ft E swell with a gentle offshore.
The final week from the 27th looks mostly flat. Small, weak 4ft to 5ft swell and cross-off winds. Nothing to write home about.
To sum it up: the gold is this weekend and start of next week, Saturday the 18th through Tuesday the 21st. The standouts are Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th. Big, powerful, clean waves on a classic point break. If you’ve got the experience, don't miss it.
Rusty.
