The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what’s happening at Boiling Pot (Noosa – Boiling Pot). This point break does its best with an ENE swell, but honestly, the next couple of weeks are mostly flat and frustrating. There’s a little bump early on, but it’s not anything special, and then we’re looking at a long, long stretch of tiny, poor quality waves. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, so no shock there.
We start off on Friday the 11th with a 7ft swell from the SE, but it’s short period, only 8 seconds, and the wind is a moderate cross-off from the SE. The combined energy is moderate (520), but the score is low. It’s a bit messy, and only for the advanced guys who know the spot. The swell drops fast through Saturday and Sunday, with the same short period and cross-off wind, making it tough to get excited. By Sunday afternoon, we’re down to 3ft with poor conditions.
From Monday the 14th right through to Thursday the 26th of September, it’s a brutal run of tiny surf. There’s a brief lift on Thursday the 17th with a 7ft ESE swell, but it’s still short period (7 seconds) and the wind is cross-off, so it’s not clean. The energy is moderate (423), but the quality just isn’t there. After that, it’s all 1ft to 3ft dribble with mostly poor conditions, onshore winds, and barely any energy. The combined energy drops to two-digit numbers, which is weak.
So, the standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Friday the 11th. That 7ft SE swell is the biggest we’ll see, but it’s short period and the wind is alright, not perfect. It’s a point break, so it might handle the short period better than a beach, but it’s still only for the advanced crew. The crowds are often here, so expect company. The rest of the window is a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. The conditions are so poor for so long that it’s more of a blank run than anything else. For the area, it’s normal to have these stretches, but it doesn’t make it any less of a bummer.
