The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s coming up for our local lineup.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start across the board, with plenty of small, ordinary days to wade through before things start to fire up. The water is sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want that extra layer.
The first real standout is Boiling Pot (Noosa) on the morning of Thursday the 27th of August. We’re looking at a clean 4ft swell pushing in from the ENE, with a solid 8-second period and a sweet offshore wind from the south at 9 mph. The wave energy is moderate (260), and this is one of the rare windows where that point break will be working really well. It’s an advanced spot and it can be inconsistent, but when it’s on like this, it’s worth the paddle. Crowds are often a factor here, so get in early.
The real standout of the whole outlook comes on Sunday the 30th of August. The swell jumps to 5ft in the morning, building to 7ft by the afternoon, all from the ESE with a period of only 6 seconds, so it’s a bit short and windswelly. But the wind is straight offshore from the SSW at 12-16 mph, keeping the walls clean and the shape decent. Wave energy is moderate to strong (247 to 341), and the conditions are moderate offshore and clean. This is the best run of the forecast.
Monday the 31st of August keeps the fun going, with morning offshore winds and 7ft from the ESE, but the period is still short at 7 seconds. The wave energy is strong (479), and the conditions are clean for the experts. By the afternoon, the wind sideshores and the quality drops, but the morning session will be pumping.
By Tuesday the 1st of September, we’re back to a clean 6ft from the E with offshore winds, but the energy is dropping (329). It’s still good, just not as punchy as the weekend.
Overall, the best two windows are the morning of the 27th and the full day on the 30th. Beyond that, it’s a mix of ordinary, marginal, and poor conditions, with a lot of small, choppy days and cross-onshore winds. The second week is definitely quieter, so don’t hold your breath for anything special after the 1st.
Rusty.
