The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and we’re taking a long, hard look at Boiling Pot over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be honest with you, this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a solid run of small, weak, and mostly messy conditions before a little pulse shows up mid-week next week.
For the first several days, forget about it. Saturday and Sunday the 5th and 6th are a write-off with tiny, onshore slop and barely any energy in the water. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th clean up a bit with some light cross-offshore breezes, but the swell is tiny – we’re talking 1 ft to 2 ft of weak, short-period stuff. The combined energy is way down in the gutter (26 to 75), so there’s just no push. It’s a flat spell.
Now, things start looking a little more interesting on Wednesday morning the 9th. We get a real change: a clean, 4 ft swell from the southeast, and that period jumps to a solid 10 seconds. That’s a proper little groundswell. The energy meters read 320, which is a solid punch for this spot. The wind is light and offshore from the southeast, so it’s going be glassy. This is easily the best window we have. Boiling Pot is an advanced wave, and it can be inconsistent, so you’ll need patience, but that morning session is the standout.
The wind goes onshore in the arvo, so get on it early. Thursday the 10th has a strong offshore wind (16 mph from the SSE) and a 3 ft SE swell (energy 174), but the conditions are “very ordinary.” It’s surfable for the diehards, but it won’t be pretty.
Friday the 11th sees a jump in size to 7 ft from the SE, but the period drops to a short 7 seconds. It’s going to be a lumpy, bumpy, full-on beach break mess with a combined energy of 461. That kind of short-period, mid-size swell is more interesting for the kite crew than paddle surfers. This one is for experts only.
After that, it trails off again. From the 12th through the 20th of September, we’re back to tiny surf in the 1 ft to 4 ft range, with weak, short-period swell and mostly cross or cross-onshore winds. No real winners in that second week.
So, bottom line: Wednesday morning the 9th of September is your best and only real standout. Southeast swell, clean with offshore wind. The rest of the window is pretty bleak. Hang in there, the forecasts can always change.
Rusty.
