Table - best surf conditions forecast for Noosa - Boiling Pot over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Noosa - Boiling Pot over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burner, but there’s some solid action lining up if you’re patient.
Right now, we’ve got pretty much nothing happening. The water temp is sittin’ at a mild 69°, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year—no real surprises there. The first few days are flat as a tack, with tiny dribbles and poor conditions. We’re looking at a blank run from Monday the 13th right through to Wednesday the 15th. Don’t even bother paddling out unless you wanna practice your tan.
Things start to wake up on Thursday the 16th. A fresh southerly breeze is blowin’ offshore, which is a beautiful thing for tidying things up. The swell jumps to a very solid 7ft from the southeast, but that period is a short and punchy 7 seconds. It’s gonna be lumpy and a bit wild—moderate wave energy (541) but it’s really just for the experienced crew. This might be more fun for a kite surfer than a regular paddle surfer, to be honest.
Into Friday the 17th, it holds at 8ft from the southeast, still with that offshore wind. The period ticks up to 8 seconds, so it's still a bit raw but cleaner. Wave energy is getting stronger (682). Again, this is expert territory—over 8ft later on the weekend is only for the brave.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th see the real meat of the swell. We’ve got 8ft to 10ft from the southeast, period stretching to 10 seconds. The combined energy jumps into the strong zone (1295 to 1428). That’s some proper power. The wind stays offshore from the south-southeast, keeping it clean. However, because it’s a longer-period groundswell, Boiling Pot as a point break is actually the perfect spot for it—those waves will wrap in nicely. This is the standout period for experts. Given the consistency here is listed as inconsistent, don't expect non-stop sets, but when they come, they’ll be worth the wait. It will be often crowded here, so get in early.
Heading into Monday the 20th, the swell holds strong at around 10ft from the east-southeast, but the wind swings cross-offshore, which still keeps it rideable but a bit less perfect. Wave energy is peaking (1470). Still solid, still for experts only.
The best all-round window for the keen ones looks to be Tuesday the 21st through Wednesday the 22nd. The swell drops back to a much more manageable 6ft to 7ft from the east-southeast, period still a nice 9 to 10 seconds. Light offshore winds and clean conditions make for some genuinely fun, good-quality waves. The wave comment even says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is the pick for the intermediate and above crew—big enough to be fun, not so big it’s a mission.
After that, from Thursday the 23rd onwards, things taper off. The swell fades to 3ft to 4ft, and the wind goes all wrong—cross-onshore from the north and northwest. It gets choppy and ordinary. Saturday the 25th morning does look glassy with a tiny 3ft groundswell, but it’s weak and won’t hold much shape.
The last glimmer is on Tuesday the 28th, where we see a bit of light offshore wind and a small, clean 3ft ESE swell. It’s knee-to-waist high fun for a log, but nothing to get excited about.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off, then we get a proper pulse of big, powerful swell for the experts from the 16th to the 20th. The true standout for quality, clean waves is Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd—that’s your window for some classic Noosa points.
Rusty.
