The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s coming down the pike.
We’re looking at a pretty thin start to the run—first few days are a real bust with nearly no energy. The surf has been holding out, but there’s some actual potential brewing further in.
Our only break in the mix is Boiling Pot (Noosa). This is a point break for advanced surfers, and it’s *inconsistent*, so when it lines up the juice is worth the squeeze. Water temp’s about 69°F, which is pretty average for this time of year—nothin’ weird to report.
The early days are flat out weak. Wednesday the 29th of July you’ve got a 2ft easterly swell, 6-second period, cross-shore breeze. Just not worth the paddle. Thursday and Friday are still tiny—mornings have a clean offshore wind, but the swell is basically a ripple (combined energy under 100). You could surf it, but you wouldn’t talk about it.
Saturday and Sunday, the 1st and 2nd of August, stay small and ordinary until Sunday the 2nd when we finally see a bump—5ft from the ESE, still short period, but the combined energy jumps to moderate (377). The quality is still borderline, but it’s a sign of life.
Now Monday the 3rd of August is where things get interesting. We’ve got a 5ft ESE swell, period of 11 seconds, and a strong combined energy reading of 621. That’s a real groundswell. Winds are cross-off, so the point at Boiling Pot could fire with some proper lines. The long period may make it close out on the beach, but for a point break, this is one of the best windows in the whole 16 days.
Wednesday morning the 5th of August is another standout—4ft from the ESE, 8-second period, combined energy 312, and glassy conditions. That’s as clean as it gets. No wind, nice little groundswell push. Perfect for a quiet session.
The second week gets patchy—lots of cross-off and small surf. Monday the 10th of August afternoon shows a 3ft SE swell with 11-second period and clean winds, combined energy 271. Could produce some tidy ramps if the direction holds.
Nearer the end, the 13th of August shows a longer period (13 seconds) but it’s small and cross-off. Could be a sneaky corner for the crew that knows the spot.
Best options: Monday August 3rd for the biggest groundswell and decent conditions, and Wednesday August 5th morning for perfect glass.
Don’t rush the early days—save your energy for that first real push in early August.
