The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's shaping up on the Sunshine Coast. To be honest, we've got a slow start ahead of us, but there is a glimmer of something special if you're patient.
For the first few days, it's a bit of a flat spell. Monday the 27th through Wednesday the 29th are practically write-offs with tiny, weak little 1ft to 2ft SE/E windswells and minimal energy. You wouldn't even get your hair wet. Thursday the 30th brings a slight pulse, with a clean 2ft ENE swell and a moderate offshore breeze, but it's still pretty ordinary.
Now, the real action starts to stir on Friday the 31st of July. We're looking at a bump in size to 6ft from the SE with combined energy kicking up. The wind is a solid offshore from the SSE at 15 mph which should keep Boiling Pot clean, so that Friday morning is probably our first real chance to get a few. Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd of August are messy though, with shower activity and cross-off winds mucking things up.
The second week kicks off with more promise. Tuesday the 4th of August morning looks decent with 4ft E swell and a gentle offshore breeze, giving us clean conditions. Then Wednesday the 5th has size jumping to 6ft on the afternoon, but it's cross-off and a bit jumbled.
But the end of the run is where we have to focus. The standout window is Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th of August. This is the pick of the forecast. We've got a long-period groundswell arriving, a solid 7ft to 8ft from the ESE/E with a period up to 10 seconds. The combined energy is phenomenal. Tuesday the 11th morning is the absolute gem, though. Glassy conditions – zero wind from the west – and a clean 7ft E groundswell. That's as good as it gets. This is the morning to have your board waxed and your alarm set. The water temp is a comfortable 69°, about average for this time of year.
Keep in mind, Boiling Pot is a tricky, high-performance point break that's inconsistent and can be a bit of a puzzle to read on a long-period swell, but when it lines up, it's worth the wait. Crowds are a given there on the good days, too. This is an advanced wave, and with that 6ft+ swell, it's definitely for experienced surfers only.
For the week leading up to that, keep an eye on it, but don't stress if you miss a session. The long-range stuff is a little less certain, but the numbers look solid. Hang in there.
Rusty.
