The Lowdown

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s comin’ through for Noosa.

Honestly, the next week or so is pretty grim for Boiling Pot. There’s barely enough swell to wet your fins, and what’s there is messy. The first call is Tuesday 11th morning – we’ve got a tiny 2ft easterly swell with a moderate cross-offshore wind, and the water’s sittin’ at 68°, which is a touch cooler than average for this time of year. But the wave energy is weak (107), and the conditions are ordinary. Not worth paddlin’ out for.

It doesn’t get much better for days. Wednesday 12th morning goes glassy with only 2ft, but it’s just too small and inconsistent. The whole stretch from Thursday 14th right through to Sunday 16th is a write-off – tiny swell, moderate offshore winds, but the energy’s gone. It’s flat or close to it.

Then from Sunday 16th afternoon, the swell starts to kick, but it drops to a short-period 6 seconds from the southeast with 5ft. Energy jumps to moderate (194), but the wind’s cross-offshore and the conditions are still poor. That short-period windswell won’t wrap in nice at the point. It’s bumpy and messy.

By Monday 17th and Tuesday 18th, we’re looking at 6ft to 8ft from the ESE with 8-second periods – moderate energy at first (288), then jumpin’ to strong (696). But the cross-offshore winds are fresh, and the combo of size, short period, and wind makes it a bit of a washing machine. Too lumpy for a clean ride.

The real standout shows up on Friday 21st August morning. That’s the one. Swell hits 7ft from the southeast, period 9 seconds, energy is very strong (1277), and we’ve got clean, moderate offshore wind. That’s excellent conditions for experienced surfers. It’ll be hollow, powerful, and lined up – Boiling Pot at its best. Keep in mind though, it’s over a week away, so treat it as a promising call. Still, if it comes together, that’s the session to aim for. Crowds are likely at this spot, so get in early.

Saturday 22nd morning cleans right up – glassy conditions with a 5ft easterly swell (468 energy). That’s a fantastic option too, especially if the Friday swell drops off a bit. Clean, peeling waves for the early birds.

The end of the outlook dies off again – Wednesday 26th morning back to 2ft and barely any energy (76). Not worth the walk.

So, bottom line: don’t bother this week. The only real standout is Friday 21st August morning if you’re keen and skilled. Saturday 22nd morning also looks sweet for a more relaxed paddle. Everything else is small, weak, or blown out.
