The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got the goods on your local surf outlook for the next couple of weeks. Let’s be straight – it’s a mixed bag, but there are a few windows worth paddling out for.

We’re starting with Boiling Pot at Noosa, a classic point break that’s about as fickle as they come. This spot is rarely consistent, so when it lines up, you’ve got to be on it. The water’s sitting at 69°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year – nothing weird going on there.

First decent chance comes on Friday, August 28th – morning session. You’ve got a clean 4ft swell pushing in from the SSE, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind’s a gentle offshore southerly, so the face is going to be clean. Combined swell energy is moderate at (385). It’s not huge, but for a spot that barely breaks, this is your shot. The afternoon turns to a cross-off breeze and the swell drops off.

Now, the next real standout is Sunday, August 30th – morning. Swell jumps to 7ft from the SE, period a short 7 seconds. The wind is fresh and offshore (SSE at 19 mph), keeping it clean up top. Energy is strong (492). This is a punchy little window for advanced surfers – 7ft is getting a bit big for beginners. But take note: that short period means the waves will be a bit lumpy and won’t have that long, wrapping lines you’d want on a point. It’s still the best on offer for the first week.

Monday, August 31st – morning is another shout. 5ft from the SE, period still short at 6 seconds, but offshore southerly winds (16 mph) and moderate energy (249). It’s clean, but again, not groundswell quality.

After that, we hit a long dry spell. From Tuesday, September 1st right through to Saturday, September 12th, the surf is small, weak, and mostly blown out. There’s hardly anything over 2ft for days, with onshore or cross-shore winds ruining any chance of a wave. On Wednesday, September 2nd – morning, the wind goes glassy, but the swell is only 2ft with a period of 10 seconds – barely enough to break.

There’s a flicker of life on Monday, September 7th – afternoon. Swell jumps to 12ft from the SE, period 9 seconds – that’s a big one, only for experts (over 8ft). Energy is very strong (1714). But the wind is cross-off (ESE at 12 mph), and the break is inconsistent – maybe a rare big day for those who know the spot and can handle it. Still, given the inconsistency and the short period, it’s more of a novelty than a solid bet.

So, to wrap it up for the imperial crew: your best bets are Friday morning, August 28th for a clean, small window, and Sunday morning, August 30th for a punchy, offshore session. The rest is mostly a write-off. Boiling Pot is a fickle beast, so grab those few windows while they’re here.

Rusty.
