The Lowdown
Imperial
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at the Boiling Pot.
The start is a total dud. Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th of August are barely a ripple. You’re looking at waves around 2ft, with a weak 8-second period, and the wind is either cross or just not helping. Wave energy is in the 70s and 90s – really weak. The water temp is about 69°, which is right on the mark for this time of year.
Then, Sunday the 9th of August morning brings a little light. A 4ft east swell with a 9-second period and dead *glass* conditions from the east-northeast. The energy jumps to 252. That’s clean, easy, and the Boiling Pot will have some nice lines. It’s over by the afternoon when the wind swings onshore.
From Monday the 10th through Friday the 14th of August, it’s mostly small and uninspiring. Morning winds might be clean but the swell is weak. Saturday the 15th of August afternoon sees a jump to 6ft from the southeast, but it’s short-period (6 seconds) and a bit messy. Hard work.
Now, the one to get excited about is Thursday the 20th of August morning. A solid 5ft of east swell with a long 10-second period, and it’s glassy calm. Energy is strong at 442. That’s a real session waiting to happen, but it’s over a week away, so keep an eye on it. Crowds can be thick here, so get in early.
Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th of August mornings have clean 5ft to 6ft southeast swells with offshore breezes and moderate energy around 239 to 301. The short period means it might be a bit straight for the point, but it’s still surfable for the experienced crew.
Best bet: Sunday the 9th of August morning for clean fun, and the big one to pencil in is Thursday the 20th of August morning – that’s the magic window if it comes together.
Rusty out.
