Noosa - Boiling Pot Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Boiling Pot over the next couple of weeks.

First off, the water temp is sittin’ around 70°, about what you’d expect this time of year – nothing wild there.

Honestly, the next week is a bit of a write-off. The first real sniff of a wave we get is on Monday the 14th, with tiny 4ft and 3ft ESE windswell, but the energy is weak, only around 106 to 84, and conditions are just “ordinary.” Nothing to get excited about.

We’ve got a big, disappointing gap from there with nothin’ worth paddling out for until Thursday the 17th. That’s when the ocean wakes up. We see a jump in swell with 8ft SE pushing in Thursday morning, energy firing up to a solid 912. The winds are fresh offshore from the SSE, which will clean it right up. But hold on, because by the afternoon it’s muscling up to 10ft SE with energy rocketing to 1166, and the offshore wind is strong – that’s expert territory only, and even then, paddlin’ in is gonna be a chore.

Friday the 18th keeps the momentum with 8ft to 8ft SE swell, energy still heavy in the 900 range, and winds are cross-off and clean. The waves have got some shape but at that size on a point like Boiling Pot, you’ll need your wits about you.

Now, the standout – and I mean the real gem in this forecast – is Saturday the 19th. Saturday morning it’s glassy, dead calm with the NE wind barely a whisper. The swell drops to a still-chunky 7ft from the ESE, and here’s the kicker: the period stretches out to a proper 12 seconds, making it a true groundswell. The energy is massive at 1200, but that long period at a point break like this means long, lined-up walls. For experienced surfers, this is the best session on offer. It will be clean, powerful, and the kind of morning that makes you forget the flat spell earlier. Just keep an eye on the crowds – Boiling Pot gets busy often, and with conditions like that, it’ll be packed.

After that high, the swell fades fast. Sunday the 20th drops to 4ft, and the south-easterly trades start to mess things up with cross-on wind. By Monday the 21st we’re back to tiny dribble of 3ft, and it’s pretty much done for the rest of the window.

So, to sum it up: sit tight through the first half of the week, don’t even bother. The real action hits on Thursday the 17th for the big-wave crew, but for the best mix of size, shape, and glassy conditions, Saturday the 19th morning is your one and only call.

Rusty.
