The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

The good news is there’s always something to chase, but the next few days are going to be a bit of a grind. We’ve got a patchy run of small, short-period E/ESE swell hanging around, and the winds are going to be all over the place. The first real window where it all comes together is this Sunday morning [August 9th]. We’re looking at a clean 4ft of east swell with a 9-second period, and it’s glassy. The energy is moderate (247), and it’ll be the best shape we’ve seen so far. After that, it’s back to small and messy for a few days.

The standouts start to appear further out. The forecast for Thursday the 20th of August is the one to circle on the calendar. There’s a jump in energy to strong (570) with a 4ft SE swell, a 9-second period, and a solid offshore wind keeping it clean. That’s the best of the whole window, definitely a morning to get amongst it.

Before that, the morning of Friday the 14th looks like a solid runner-up. We’ll have a 4ft SE swell and a gentle offshore wind, with moderate energy (226). It won’t be big, but it should be clean and fun.

Saturday the 15th onwards brings a bit more size, but the period drops right off – we’re talking short-period, wind-affected stuff. The morning of Sunday the 16th has 5ft of SSE swell, but it’s only a 6-second period, which is pretty junky. It’s pushing into the size where it’s a bit much for beginners, but the quality isn’t there for the experts either. The winds stay fresh from the SSE, so the whole week from the 15th to the 19th is looking like a bit of a battlefield. It’s clean due to the offshore winds, but the swell is short and lumpy. This stretch might be more appealing to the kite crew than us on the paddleboards.

Now, about the water. When we get to the first real surf on Sunday, the water temp is sitting at 69°. That’s about 1° colder than the long-term average for this time of year, so it’s a touch cooler than usual, but nothing crazy. Bring the booties if you’re sensitive to it.

The break itself, Boiling Pot, is a classic point break here in Noosa. It’s exposed to the ENE, which lines up well with the forecast swell. But don’t be fooled – it’s inconsistent, and it’s an advanced wave. When it’s on, it’s world-class, but you’ve got to be patient. The crowds are often there, so be ready for some company on the good days.

So, to sum it up: this week is about picking the clean windows. Next week is about waiting for the 20th. It’s a long way out, so don’t book the day off yet, but the potential is there. Keep an eye on it.

Rusty.
