The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here. Look, I'm not gonna lie to you – the next week and a half is a bit of a mixed bag for our local breaks, but there's a real beauty shaping up if you can wait. The main event is a late-developing, proper groundswell that'll fire up the points, but you'll have to work through a fair bit of average to get there.

We kick off Friday, July 24th, with a small, weak 3ft easterly swell at 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 133 and the wind is a moderate offshore from the south, but the conditions are just ordinary. Not worth the paddle. That carries through Saturday morning with a similar 3ft easterly, but the energy bumps up to 253 and the offshore wind holds, making it a bit more fun. Saturday afternoon relaxes a touch, but still, it's only small stuff. By Sunday, it drops right off – 2ft and weak energy of 70. You're better off doing something else.

Monday through Wednesday are a dead loss. Tiny waves, poor conditions, and energy readings in the 20s and 30s. There's a glassy moment on Wednesday morning the 29th, but the swell is a pathetic 2ft from the northeast. You're not going anywhere.

Now, Thursday the 30th is a tease. The morning sees a small 1.0ft swell from the ESE with a long 13-second period, but the combined energy is still only 77. The wind is moderate offshore, making it clean, but it's just too small. The afternoon picks up to 3ft from the SE, but the energy is a moderate 120 and the wind goes cross-offshore. It's messy.

Friday, July 31st is where it starts to get interesting. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the SSE with a short 7-second period, but the combined energy is a solid 252. The wind is a moderate offshore from the south, and the forecast is calling for good surf. This is a solid session for the average punter, but it's not the standout.

The real standout, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is Boiling Pot (Noosa - Boiling Pot). It's a classic point break, and it's inconsistent, but when it fires, it's magic. The optimum swell direction is from the ENE, and we are getting a long-period groundswell that's perfect for this setup. Saturday, August 8th is the jewel. The morning shows a 5ft swell from the ESE with a very long 13-second period. The combined energy is a strong 698, and the wind is a moderate offshore from the south. The waves will be clean, lined up, and powerful. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, but the 5ft height keeps it in the realm of the competent intermediate as well. The afternoon sees a 4ft swell from the same direction with a 12-second period and energy of 519, still clean with a cross-offshore wind. The crowds at Boiling Pot are often heavy, so expect company, but for a wave that good, it's worth it.

Before that, you'll have a few days of solid, punchy, but a bit messy surf. From Tuesday, August 4th, through Thursday, August 7th, the swell is big – 8ft to 10ft from the SE – with combined energy readings in the 1000s, peaking at a massive 3261 on Thursday morning. This is serious, powerful stuff. The period jumps from 8 seconds up to 14 seconds, so it's a heavy groundswell. The wind is mostly cross-offshore or offshore, keeping it clean, but this is expert-only territory. The waves will be thick and jacking up. For the average surfer, it's a washing machine, and honestly, with that size and the short-to-medium period, it might be more appealing for the kite crew than for paddle surfing.

To sum it up: the first week is small and average. The second week starts huge and raw, then cleans up into a fantastic, long-period groundswell for the weekend. August 8th is your best bet. Get out there.

Rusty.
