The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got the long-range read on Noosa’s Boiling Pot.
Look, the next week or so is a proper write-off. We’ve got small, weak energy and choppy onshore winds day after day, and the combined energy of all swells directed here sits well under 100—66, 57, 44—that’s barely a ripple. You’d be wasting your time paddling out. That flat spell runs all the way from Wednesday the 2nd of September through to Thursday the 10th. There’s a brief moment on Wednesday the 9th when it goes glassy with 1ft east swell, but the energy is still weak (49), so it’s a complete non-starter.
Now, things finally start to look interesting around Friday the 11th. Friday morning brings 7ft SE swell with clean, cross-off wind and the combined energy jumps to 407—moderate energy. That’s still marginal, but the afternoon gets better: 8ft SE swell, period of 8 seconds, energy up to 760. That’s moderate to strong energy, and those clean conditions mean you could score. The swell direction is SE and the optimum for Boiling Pot is ENE, so it’s not a perfect match, but at 8ft it’s expert territory—too big for beginners.
The standout window is Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th. Saturday morning has 8ft ESE swell, period 8 seconds, and clean cross-off wind with a light breeze. Energy is strong at 679, and the conditions are described as “expect very good surf conditions.” Saturday afternoon stays clean with 7ft east swell and 542 energy. Sunday morning is even better—7ft east swell, glassy, clean, and 555 energy. That’s the best on offer: a proper groundswell pulse, well-shaped, with light offshore or glassy conditions. The crowd factor at Boiling Pot is “often,” so expect company.
Monday the 14th drops back to 6ft ENE swell with moderate cross-shore chop, energy at 442, and it’s only marginal. Tuesday the 15th is onshore and deteriorating. By Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th, it’s back to poor surf with weak energy. So the real action is a short, punchy window over that weekend—Saturday and Sunday the 12th and 13th of September. If you can, get in the water then.
Rusty.
