The Lowdown
Alright, let’s see what we’re working with.
First thing’s first – this isn’t going to be a ripper of a fortnight. There’s a lot of small, weak groundswell and tricky wind, but there are a couple of windows that are worth sliding into.
The first real chance to get a wave is Monday, August 3rd. Boiling Pot (Noosa – Boiling Pot) is showing a clean 3ft SE swell. It’s a classic point, so even though the period is 12 seconds, it’ll wrap in nicely. The water is 69°, which is a touch cooler than normal for this time of year, but nothing wild. The wind is a cross-offshore, so the face will be clean. The energy is moderate (277) – not huge, but enough for a fun longboard session. Just know this spot is inconsistent and you’ll be sharing the waves often.
Tuesday morning, August 4th, the swell drops to 2ft, but the wind goes glassy. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s a short-period swell. It’s tiny, but if you want a quiet, peaceful paddle on a log, that glassy morning is your best bet. The energy is weak (125), so don’t expect much push.
The real standout is Sunday morning, August 9th. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the east with a 9 second period, and the wind is glassy again. The energy jumps to a solid moderate (276), and the conditions are clean. This is the best looking session for the whole 16 days. It’s a point break, so that east swell will groom beautifully, and with no wind, it’ll be smooth as glass. If you get one session, make it this one.
After that, the swell stays small, mostly 2ft to 3ft, and the wind just doesn’t line up. There are a few mornings with clean, offshore breezes, but the energy is too weak to get excited about. The last week of the forecast is basically a bust – tiny waves, weak energy, nothing to get out of bed for.
So, bottom line: this is a spotty run with a couple of clean windows, especially Sunday the 9th. The swell is small, but for a longboard or a fun single fin, you’ll get some nice glides. Nothing big, but if you’re patient, the glassy mornings are your best bet.
