The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this stretch isn’t cooking up anything special for a while, but there’s a flicker of life if you’re patient and know where to look. We’re talkin’ about Boiling Pot (Noosa Heads), a point break that’s normally got some magic, but for the next week or so, it’s mostly small and ordinary.

For the first few days (Sunday the 26th through to Thursday the 30th of July), it’s pretty flat. We’re looking at waves around 1ft to 2ft, mostly from the southeast, and the energy is weak – the combined swell energy is barely registering, like 20 to 84 (that’s in the weak zone). Wind is often offshore or cross-off, so the surface is clean, but there’s just nothing to ride. Water temp is sitting at 69°, which is about 1° colder than normal for this time of year – nothing wild, just a touch nippy.

Now, there’s a glimmer on Friday the 31st of July. The morning shows a bump to 5ft from the southeast, with a short period of 6 seconds. Combined energy jumps to 232 (moderate energy) and the wind is a moderate offshore from the south at 30 km/h, keeping it clean. The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s the standout window in this whole run – the bigger swell and clean offshore wind line up. But keep in mind, this break is inconsistent, so sets might be few and far between. The swell is moderate, not huge, so it won’t be too heavy for intermediates, but it’s not a beginner wave either with the short-period chop.

After that, we drift back into small stuff through the first week of August. There’s a little pulse on Sunday the 2nd of August (5ft in the morning from the ESE, 6-second period, cross-off wind) and again on Monday the 3rd of August (4ft in the morning from the SE, 11-second period, offshore wind), but the energy is still moderate, around 256 to 418. The Monday morning has a longer period (11 seconds) with gentle offshore wind, which could shape up better for this point break – longer period swells love a point setup. But it’s not a standout; just a decent option.

The rest of the run into the second week is mostly poor – tiny waves, weak energy, and cross-off or cross winds. There’s a brief glassy moment on Wednesday the 5th of August (3ft from the SE at 10 seconds), but it’s only 124 energy, and the wave comment says “surfable but ordinary.” The last real chance is Friday the 7th of August with 4ft from the SE, 6-second period, but again, it’s only 118 energy and described as “ordinary.”

Overall, the only true standout is Friday the 31st of July morning at Boiling Pot: 5ft southeast swell with clean offshore wind. Otherwise, it’s a long gap of small, weak surf with a few marginal days thrown in. If you’re keen, keep an eye on the 31st – it’s your best bet.

Rusty.
