Table - best surf conditions forecast for Noosa - Boiling Pot over the next 16 days.


Alright, folks, let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks. We're talking about one spot: Boiling Pot at Noosa. It's a tricky little point, advanced only, and it's inconsistent – it doesn't fire often. When it does, it can get crowded, so keep that in mind.

The first few days are a write-off. From Sunday the 12th right through to Wednesday the 15th, there's nothing worth paddling out for. Tiny swell, funky winds, and the energy is just not there. You're better off staying in bed or checking the forecast again later.

Then things start to change. Thursday the 16th morning, we get a pulse of 5.6 ft from the SSE, with a short period of 8 seconds and clean offshore winds. The energy is moderate (425). It's still marginal – tide might be an issue – but it's a start. By Thursday afternoon, the swell bumps up to 7.9 ft, period 9s, and the energy jumps to 947. Still offshore, but now it's a fresh breeze. That's getting into the fun zone, but only for the experienced crew.

Friday the 17th keeps the offshore flow going, but the swell is 7.5 ft with a short 7-second period, and there's a risk of thunderstorms. Energy is 511. Again, it's okay, but not a standout. By Friday afternoon, 9.8 ft from the SE, period 8s, energy 1185 – strong offshore, but at that size, it's a handful.

Now, Saturday the 18th is where it gets serious. Morning sees 11.5 ft from the SE, period 10s, energy 2132. Strong offshore, clean, but hard to paddle into. Afternoon, the same swell height but period stretches to 11 seconds, and the energy explodes to 6233. That's a lot of juice. The wind is still strong offshore, so it'll be clean, but at 11.5 ft, this is strictly for experts. The point might handle it, but it's not going to be a beginner's day. This is the best bet of the whole run, but you need to know what you're doing.

Sunday the 19th still has big swell – 9.8 ft in the morning, 6.2 ft in the afternoon – but the wind swings cross-off and there are rain showers. Energy drops but still solid (3353 morning, 1221 afternoon). Clean, but not as good as Saturday.

Monday the 20th offers a more manageable 7.2 ft from the ESE, period 10s, with moderate offshore winds. Energy 924. The forecast says "expect very good surf conditions," and I'd agree. That's a solid day for anyone comfortable with overhead waves. By afternoon, 5.9 ft, still clean.

After that, Tuesday the 21st through Sunday the 27th sees a steady decline. Tuesday morning 4.9 ft, gentle offshore, energy 367 – good for a fun session. Then it slowly drops to nothing by the 26th, with a little bump on the 27th (4.3 ft, period 6s, energy 192) but it's short period and nothing special.

Water temp is sitting at 69° – about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

So, bottom line: the standout is Saturday the 18th afternoon – huge
