The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for the next couple of weeks.

Right now, things are pretty quiet. The start of the forecast period is a bit of a flat patch for the Noosa area. We’ve got some tiny, weak swell on offer, but nothing worth getting excited about. The standout here is a long wait for the real action.

The first real glimmer of hope comes around the 18th of August (Tuesday) with a building east-southeast swell. But honestly, the real highlight, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is Thursday the 20th of August. We’re looking at a solid 8 ft groundswell from the east-southeast with a long period of 10 seconds and moderate offshore winds. The energy is pumping (1207). This is a serious setup. For the experienced surfer, this is the call. The wave quality is predicted to be excellent. The size means it’s only for those who know what they’re doing.

The day before, Wednesday the 19th of August, also looks very good with a 7 ft east-southeast swell and a clean offshore wind, making it a solid runner-up.

Now, let's talk about the water. When you paddle out at Noosa Boiling Pot (Noosa), the water temp is sitting at 68°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year.

After that peak, the swell hangs in there. Friday the 21st of August morning looks glassy with a 7 ft east swell – a real treat if you can get out early before the seabreeze chops it up. Saturday the 22nd of August also offers a big 7 ft swell with a long 11-second period and clean conditions, but again, this is expert territory.

The second week looks promising but is less certain. There’s a solid 5 ft swell hanging around the 23rd and 24th of August, but the wind turns a bit messy, so conditions won't be as pristine.

A couple of things to note. This is a point break that’s inconsistent and can get crowded often, so be prepared to share the peak. The swell direction (east-southeast) is a good angle for this spot, and that long-period groundswell will wrap in nicely, but can break a bit straight at times – it’s a point break, so it handles it well.

So, bottom line: sit tight for the next week, then get ready for a solid run starting the 19th of August, with Thursday the 20th being the absolute standout.

Rusty.
