The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s happening around the Noosa stretch, specifically the Boiling Pot. We’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands before anything worth paddling out for shows up, so don’t rush to grab your board just yet.
The first few days are pretty bleak. For the 27th of August and through the 29th, we’re looking at tiny, weak surf with that SSE breeze messing with the line-up. The combined energy is barely registering, so it’s not even worth the effort. You’re just going to be bobbing around on ankle-biters.
There’s a bit of a bump on the 30th with some SSE windswell pushing things up to near 6ft, but the period is short and the cross-off wind is blowing hard. It looks lumpy and pretty average. Not a great look for the Pot, which needs that east in the swell to really do its thing. Then we slide back into small, inconsistent dribble right into the start of September.
Now, the 2nd of September, Wednesday morning, is the first little glimmer. The swell isn’t big, only around 3ft, but the period stretches out a bit, and we’ve got that beautiful N wind making it glassy. It won’t be epic, but it might be the cleanest wave you’ll find in this first stretch. The swell is from the E, which is exactly where we want it for this spot.
But the real event isn’t until we get into the second week. Mark the 9th of September on the calendar. The SSE windswell is expected to kick up to a solid 8ft by Wednesday morning. With the water temp sitting around 69° which is about average for this time of year, it’s not a factor. The energy is strong. The period is short, so it’s going to be a raw, powerful windswell. That size is pushing into expert territory, and with that cross-off wind, it’s going to be a challenge even for the locals. It’s a proper, solid swell, but it’s going to be a grinder. The days following, the 10th and 11th, still hold plenty of size and energy, but it’s still that short-period stuff with a cross-off breeze, so it’s always going to be a bit wild.
To be honest, if you’re looking for the standout, that Wednesday the 9th is the biggest and most powerful, but it’s for experts only. The cleaner, more user-friendly option is that glassy morning on the 2nd of September. It’s small, but it’s the most enjoyable wave on offer. There’s nothing else that shines through. The period after the 11th looks like it fades quickly.
Rusty out.
