The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we've got a bit of a flat spell, so don't bother paddling out just yet. There's a solid gap from now through to around the 23rd of August where conditions are pretty ordinary—small, weak, and mostly messy. The water temperature is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing to write home about there.
The first real chance to wet a line comes on Monday the 24th of August. The standout is Boiling Pot (Noosa). It's a point break that's inconsistent, but when it's on, it's special. On Monday morning, we're looking at a clean 1.3m easterly swell with a period of 10 seconds, giving us moderate wave energy (312). The offshore wind is light from the southwest, making for clean, lined-up waves. This is a spot for advanced surfers only—it's a tricky take-off and rarely breaks. Crowds are possible here, but early morning might thin them out a bit. The swell direction is a solid match for the optimum from the east-northeast, so the point should be working nicely.
Tuesday morning the 25th of August still holds some promise with 1.1m easterly swell and light offshore winds, but the energy drops a bit (207). It's still worth a look if you missed Monday.
After that, the swell fades out again through the end of the month, with only small, weak surf and messy onshore winds taking over. Nothing to get excited about. So, make the most of that Monday the 24th—it's your best shot.
Rusty.
