The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've got the gen on the 16-day surf picture for our local stretch. Look, I'll level with you—this is a tough stretch. The forecast period is not showing any standout sessions, and the first real pulse of surfable energy doesn't show up until the morning of Thursday, September 10th, so there's a long wait ahead.

Let's start with what's on offer. The only spot in the game is Boiling Pot (Noosa – Boiling Pot). Water temps are sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than average for this time of year—about 2°F cooler than normal, so you'll want a decent spring suit.

From now right through to the start of September 10th, it's a write-off. We're looking at weak, small windswell with terrible winds—mostly onshore or cross-on—and the combined energy barely cracks double digits, often under 100. The waves are tiny, messy, and just not worth paddling out for. Wednesday morning, September 2nd, has a fleeting moment of glassy conditions, but the swell is a paltry 2ft from the east with a 10-second period, and the energy is just 63—it's a tease, not a session.

The real kick comes on the morning of Thursday, September 10th. A pulse of 7ft swell from the SSE, with a 9-second period, rolls in, and the combined energy jumps to 827—that's moderate to strong wave energy and a welcome change. The wind is SSE at 35 km/h, which is a clean cross-off, so Boiling Pot will be looking clean. But here's the catch: it's an advanced wave, inconsistent, and the swell direction is more southerly than the optimum ENE, so it won't be firing at its best. Still, after days of nothing, this is the only real option. The afternoon backs off to 4ft with similar energy, still clean.

The following days settle back into mediocrity. Friday, September 11th, has 4ft to 4ft SSE swell, but the period drops to 6–7 seconds, and the energy is moderate (170–167). It's cross-off, so it's rideable, but nothing to get excited about. Saturday, September 12th, has a 4ft SE swell early with a 9-second period and 220 energy, but the wind flips to a light cross, making for a bit of a chop. By the afternoon, it's back to cross-on. The rest of the second week sees small, weak swells, mostly under 3ft, and modest energy, with the occasional clean window but nothing that'll have you racing for the car.

So, bottom line: if you're desperate, the morning of Thursday, September 10th, is your best bet—a clean, solid 7ft SSE swell at Boiling Pot. But it's for advanced surfers only, and it's a long wait. Otherwise, the forecast is a blank run for the area. It's not uncommon for this spot to have quiet spells, but it's a bummer.

Rusty.
