Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the 16-day outlook for Boiling Pot.

First up, the water is sitting at 69°, which is a bit colder than you’d expect for this time of year. Nothing too crazy, but you’ll feel the difference.

The first week is pretty quiet. There’s a small window of surfable waves on Saturday, July 11, with a 4ft SE swell, period of 11 seconds, and light offshore wind from the south. That’s clean, the energy is moderate (317), and for a spot that’s usually inconsistent, this is a decent little window. The crowd situation is something to keep in mind – Boiling Pot can get busy, and with it being a point break, the lineup might be a bit full. After that, the surf drops right off. From Sunday, July 12, all the way through to Wednesday, July 15, it’s flat to tiny. No real recommendations. It’s a proper gap.

Then things change. On Thursday, July 16, a big pulse of energy arrives. The swell jumps to 10ft from the SE, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is massive (1713), so this is a powerful swell. The wind is offshore from the SSE, so the wave faces will be clean. But this is a serious step up – 10ft is too big for beginners, and it’s pushing into expert-only territory. The period is short, so the waves will be a bit fat and not as well shaped as you’d hope. The spot is a point break, so it should handle the size better than a beach break, but it’s still a beast.

The swell stays big through Friday, July 17, with 10ft to 12ft from the SE, moderate energy (1859 to 2538), and a slightly longer period of 11 seconds on the afternoon. Still big, still clean, still only for the crew who know what they’re doing. This is the standout window for experienced surfers. Saturday, July 18, is similar, with 10ft and moderate energy (1915).

Sunday, July 19, offers a slight drop to 8ft from the ESE, with a period of 11 seconds and offshore wind from the SSE. The combined energy is still strong (1511). This is the best of the big stuff – still big, but cleaner, and the conditions are rated excellent for experienced surfers. The crowd is a factor, but with the size, a lot of people will be watching from the beach.

From Monday, July 20, the swell eases to 6ft, with clean offshore winds, and the energy drops to moderate (632). This is a much more manageable size, and the conditions are very good. It’s a solid option for intermediate surfers. Tuesday, July 21, and Wednesday, July 22, keep the 4ft to 4ft range, with clean conditions and gentle offshore winds. The energy is moderate (256 to 545). The crowd is likely to be there, but the conditions are clean.

The last few days – Thursday, July 23, through to the end – are smaller. 5ft on Thursday, then dropping to 2ft and 2ft. The conditions are clean, but the waves are ordinary. Nothing to get excited about.

So, the standout is the period from Thursday, July 16, to Sunday, July 19. That’s the big, clean, powerful swell, but it’s experts only. For the average surfer, the Monday, July 20, and Tuesday, July 21, look like the best bet for solid, clean, manageable waves.

Keep your eyes on the forecasts – things can change.

Rusty.
