Alright, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks. Let’s get straight into it.
We’ve got a proper run of solid swell lining up for Noosa’s Boiling Pot, but it’s not all smooth sailing. There’s a gap at the start with no real surf to speak of before things kick off on Wednesday the 8th of July.
The real story begins Wednesday afternoon with a punchy 8ft SE swell, period at 12 seconds, and a combined energy of 1525 – that’s strong stuff. The wind is a fresh offshore from the SSE at 19 mph, so the face will be clean. This is for advanced surfers only; it’s too big for beginners. This spot is inconsistent, so when it fires, you pay attention. The water temp is 69°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year.
Thursday the 9th is your standout. The swell drops slightly to 7ft from the SE, but the period is still a solid 11 seconds, and the wind is a moderate offshore from the S at 16 mph. The water will be clean as a whistle. The combined energy is sitting at 1568 (Thursday morning). This is excellent for experienced surfers. Keep in mind that this wave breaks over a point and reef, and with that longer period, it should hold shape well, but the sets will be more spaced out.
Friday the 10th still has good energy in the morning with 5ft SE swell and clean offshore wind, but the quality drops off in the afternoon as the wind goes cross-off and the swell backs off to 4ft.
From Saturday the 11th through to Tuesday the 14th of July, the surf gets small and weak. We’re looking at waist-to-chest high waves, mostly under 3ft, with combined energy dropping into the low hundreds and even the sixties. The winds are light and variable, sometimes glassy, but there’s just not enough push. It’s a quiet stretch.
Then, on Thursday the 16th of July, the surf suddenly wakes up again. The afternoon shows a jump to 8ft from the SSE, but with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is 600, and it’s glassy as. This will be a bit of a messy, short-period swell, but it’s a sign of things to come.
The real standout for the second week is Friday the 17th of July. The morning brings a solid 10ft SE swell. That’s expert territory – way too big for beginners. The period is 9 seconds, and the wind is a moderate offshore from the SSW at 12 mph, keeping it clean. The combined energy is a powerful 1348. This is a strong, clean swell for the experienced crew. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but it looks promising.
After that, the surf eases back through the weekend and into the following week, but the wind stays offshore for most of it, which is a bonus for the days when the swell is smaller.
So, to sum it up: the clear winner is Thursday the 9th of July for a clean, strong, long-period groundswell. And for the brave, Friday the 17th of July is a serious option but only for experts. Expect crowds at Boiling Pot when it’s good.
Rusty.
