The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s cut straight to it. Over the next fortnight, Boiling Pot at Noosa is going to dish up a mixed bag. Most of the time the wind’s cross-off or cross and the swell is just too small or messy to get excited about. The first eight or nine days are a drag – small waves, ordinary conditions, and plenty of wind keeping things crumbly. Then things finally lift for one standout session before fading again.
Tuesday, September 8th – forget it. Tiny 2ft ENE swell with a short 7-second period. Light cross-off wind means it’s clean but there’s no energy (combined energy only 72). Poor surf conditions across the board.
Wednesday, September 9th – slightly better with a 3ft SE swell, but still short period at 6 seconds and the energy is weak (85). Surfable but very ordinary.
Thursday, September 10th – the swell jumps to 8ft from SSE in the morning and 10ft in the afternoon, but the wind screams at 35 km/h cross-off, and it’s all short-period, sloppy energy (439 then 1074). The setup’s more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Only for experts if you’re game.
Friday, September 11th through Monday, September 14th – a long stretch of marginal to poor surf. Swell hanging around 5–8ft from SE/ESE with period only 6–8 seconds, strong winds, rain showers. Not worth paddling out.
Tuesday, September 15th and Wednesday, September 16th – dropping back to 3–4ft and weak energy (102–127). Still ordinary.
A bit of a gap from about the 11th to the 19th with no decent recommendations – that’s about a week of flat-to-manky waves.
Sunday, September 20th – here’s the standout. Morning: 3ft NE swell at 8 seconds, moderate offshore wind from the south (20 km/h), energy jumps to 222. That’s good clean surf. Afternoon: 5ft ENE swell, light cross-off breeze, 250 energy. This is the best on offer. Expect good surf conditions, clean lines, and the Boiling Pot (Noosa) point working nicely. But remember, Boiling Pot is an advanced spot and it’s inconsistent – so don’t expect it to be pumping every day. Crowds are often here, so you won’t be alone. Water temp is around 70° – about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Monday, September 21st through Wednesday, September 23rd – fades again. 4–5ft ENE/E swell with cross or cross-off wind. Marginal conditions, energy dropping to 207–280. Nothing to set the world on fire.
So the one true standout is Sunday, September 20th. Make the most of that morning session.
Rusty.
