Noosa - Boiling Pot Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Noosa - Boiling Pot.

To be honest, the start of this outlook is a bit of a quiet one. We’ve got a dry spell for the first few days with almost no energy in the water. The combined swell energy is barely registerin at 59 on Tuesday the 15th, and it stays weak through to the weekend. The wind is light and glassy at times, but with only 3ft of short-period E swell, it’s not really worth paddlin out for. That run of flat or marginal days stretches from Tuesday right through to Saturday the 20th.

Things start to get interestin from Wednesday afternoon the 16th, when a solid pulse of SSE wind kicks in. By Wednesday afternoon the swell jumps to 8ft from the SE, with the combined energy climbin to 523 – that’s moderate energy. The wind is cross-offshore, keepin the surface clean, but the period is only 7 seconds, so it’s a bit lumpy and disorganised. Thursday the 17th morning looks like the standout of this first week: 7ft SE swell with a fresh offshore SSE breeze at 30 km/h, givin clean, lined-up waves. The energy is moderate at 647, and while it’s a bit solid for beginners at over 5ft, it’s manageable for experienced surfers. The caveat here is that Boiling Pot is a point break, so this SE groundswell with a 8-second period should set up well.

Friday the 18th drops back to 5ft with a clean cross-offshore breeze, but the energy is only 182, so it’s weaker and the quality drops. Then we hit another flat spell through to Tuesday the 22nd, with combined energy sinkin to just 7 on Monday. That’s a real lull.

The second half of the window picks up again. Tuesday afternoon the 22nd sees a sudden bump to 7ft SE swell, but with only 6-second period, so it’s short and weak for the size – combined energy 325, so moderate. Still, the wind is cross-offshore and clean. Wednesday and Thursday the 23rd and 24th hold around 6ft to 7ft from the ESE, with clean conditions and moderate energy around 300-400.

The real highlight in the longer range looks like Friday the 25th afternoon. We get 6ft E swell with an 8-second period, combined energy of 368, and a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the ESE. That’s “expect good surf conditions” in the data – clean, workable, with enough push for a fun session. It’s a promisin one, but bein over a week out, you’d want to keep an eye on it.

Saturday the 26th drops back into poor surf with cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions, and then Sunday the 27th turns onshore and choppy, with combined energy up at 441 but ruined by a moderate cross-onshore breeze. The final day, Wednesday the 30th, brings a mornin of 4ft ENE swell with a gentle offshore SSE breeze – clean and glassy, with moderate energy at 259. That’s a nice note to end on, but again, it’s a long-range call.

Water temp is sittin about average for this time of year, nothin wild.

Overall, Thursday the 17th mornin is the standout of the first week – clean, solid SE swell, fresh offshore wind. For the second week, Friday the 25th afternoon is the one to circle, with clean conditions and a solid E swell, though it’s a little uncertain that far out.

Stay safe out there.

Rusty.
