The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming up for Noosa – Boiling Pot over the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, the first week is a bit of a struggle. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy surf from Monday the 14th right through until Sunday the 20th. There’s barely anything worth paddling out for – most days the swell is under 3ft, the periods are short at 6 seconds, and the combined energy is weak, mostly under 100 (86, 67, 59 – you get the picture). Winds are a mixed bag of cross-off, glassy, and cross-on, but the waves just aren’t there. Tuesday morning the 15th is glassy with 3ft from the east, but it’s too small to get excited about. That’s nearly a full week of flat or near-flat conditions.

Wednesday the 16th afternoon sees a bit of a spike – 7ft from the southeast with a fresh breeze, but the quality is still poor and it’s cross-off, so not doing much for Boiling Pot. Thursday the 17th looks a little more promising with 8ft from the southeast, period stretching to 8 seconds, and fresh offshore winds all day. The energy jumps to 635 (moderate), and the offshore wind is a major positive – it’ll keep things clean. That said, this is an advanced spot and 8ft is solid, so this is for experienced surfers only. Friday the 18th drops back to 5ft from the southeast, cross-off, still clean but ordinary.

Then we hit a gap. Saturday the 19th through Monday the 21st is a write-off – swell drops to 1.0ft to 2ft, periods drop to 4-8 seconds, energy is down in the teens and forties. Nothing doing.

Now, Tuesday the 22nd is the standout. Overnight the swell builds to 8ft from the southeast, period at 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 779 (strong). The wind is light east-southeast, cross-off, and it’s clean. That’s proper surf for Boiling Pot – solid, punchy, and clean. This is the best on offer across the whole outlook. It’s big enough that only experienced surfers should be out there, but for the crew who know the pot, this is going to fire.

Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th still have some size – 6ft to 6ft from the east-southeast – but the wind swings to cross-on and it gets choppy, so quality drops off. Friday the 25th is smaller again, 4ft from the east, cross-shore, marginal.

After that, it fades into the weekend and beyond. Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th are small and weak – 2ft to 3ft, cross-on, not worth the drive. Monday the 28th and Tuesday the 29th have a little bump from the southeast with longer periods (11 seconds on Tuesday the 29th), but the swell is only 3ft and winds are fresh, so it’s not going to deliver.

Overall, Tuesday the 22nd is your day. Clean, solid southeast swell, offshore light winds, and Boiling Pot should be doing what it does best. Get on it.

Rusty.
