The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me break down this stretch at Noosa’s Boiling Pot.
Looking at the whole sixteen days, I gotta be honest – we're in a long, flat patch. There's no "go day" where the stars align. It’s a lot of weak, small surf with the wind blowing the wrong way more often than not. The first week is particularly slow. The water's running a bit cooler than normal for this time of year, at 20°.
Thursday, September 3rd is a no-go. Just a weak 4ft north-east windswell with a tiny 4-second period, blown out by a 15 mph onshore northerly. The energy is low (77). Not worth a look.
Friday the 4th drops right off to 1ft from the east. The morning goes glassy, flat calm, which would be perfect for a fish if there was any push, but there's none. Energy is a measly 48.
The whole of Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th is the same story – surf under 3ft, with onshore winds and weak energy. Barely a ripple.
Monday 7th and Tuesday 8th see cleaner winds, with some offshore breezes, but the swell just isn't there. The only tiny pulse is on Tuesday afternoon, a short-period 6ft swell from the southeast pushed by a clean cross-offshore wind. The energy hits moderate (346), but that 6-second period screams ugly, close-range windswell. It's not quality.
Wednesday 9th back to small and messy.
Thursday 10th September brings the biggest swell of the window, a 8ft SSE windswell, but the wind is howling at 25 mph. With a 7-second period and that much breeze, the Boiling Pot will be a mess. Better suited for a kite session than a paddle.
Friday 11th is the closest we get to a surf. We’ve got a 6ft SE swell in the morning and 5ft in the afternoon, both with clean cross-offshore winds. The energy is solid (322 and 228). The downside is the short 7-second period, so the waves will be fat and sectiony. It’s marginal but the only day with half a chance.
From Saturday 12th right through to Friday 18th, the tank is empty. Swell sits below 3ft most days, with weak energy and either onshore or cross-shore winds. Nothing of note.
The only light at the end of the tunnel is Friday afternoon, September 18th. The wind goes dead calm, glass, and there's a small 2ft easterly swell with an 8-second period. The energy is modest but acceptable (129). It'll be tiny, but if you just need to get wet, it'll be the cleanest wave of the whole run.
Honestly, leave the wetsuit on the peg. This is one of those stretches where you don't even bother checking the cam. The Boiling Pot needs a lot more love than this forecast is giving it.
