The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, the first week or so is a real struggle. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak, and pretty ordinary conditions. From Saturday 25th July right through to the end of the month, the swell is all under 3ft, mostly coming from the E or ESE with short, weak periods. The water temp is sitting around 69°, which is about 1° cooler than usual for this time of year – nothing too wild, just a bit of a nip in the air. You’ll see a few mornings with clean offshore winds, but the wave energy is just not there. The combined energy mid-week is down in the teens and twenties – hardly enough to get excited about. It’s a real flat spell.
We do get a little spike in energy on the morning of Friday 31st July, with a 4ft SSE swell (180 combined energy), but it’s short period at 6 seconds and the wind is a moderate 12 mph offshore. It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary. Saturday 1st August is a step back again.
Now, here’s the good news. Things start to turn around on Sunday 2nd August. The morning sees a 3ft SE groundswell with a period of 10 seconds and a gentle offshore breeze from the S. The combined energy jumps to 266 – that’s moderate energy, and it’s clean. The afternoon holds at 3ft with 273 energy, still cross-off but clean. That looks like the best window in the whole 16-day run.
Monday 3rd August keeps the run going with a 3ft SE swell, 12-second period, and a glassy morning with only 3 mph wind. The energy is solid at 282. That morning session at Boiling Pot (Noosa) is the standout – clean, offshore, and a decent long-period groundswell from the right direction. It’s a point break, so that long period will actually draw nice lines down the point. It’s inconsistent, so you’ll have to wait for the sets, but when they come, they’ll be worth it. Crowds are often here, so expect company.
The rest of the second week drops off again. After Monday afternoon, the wind swings unfavourable and the swell fades. There’s a bit of a bump on Friday 7th August and Saturday 8th August with 4ft SE swell, but the wind is up at 12 mph and the conditions are only marginal. Nothing to rush for.
So, if you’re keen, pencil in Sunday 2nd and Monday 3rd August. That’s your best bet. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty.
