The Lowdown

Alright, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ over the next couple weeks for this region.

Straight off the bat, the early part of the outlook is pretty quiet. We’ve got a few small, workable windows but nothing to get overly excited about. The real standout – and the one I’d circle on the calendar – is a two-day window right around the start of September.

Boiling Pot (Noosa) kicks things off on Monday 24 August with a small 3ft easterly swell. The wind is cross-off from the ESE at 9 mph, keeping things clean, but the wave energy is only moderate at best (128). The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about 3° cooler than normal for this time of year – a little bit nippier than what you’d expect. Still, Monday arvo is surfable, if not exactly pumping.

Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th drop off a bit – smaller swell, cross or cross-on winds, and generally ordinary conditions. Thursday 27th sees a bump in wind strength from the SSE (16 mph), but the swell is still under 3ft and the energy stays modest. Friday 28th is similar, with light 3ft east swell and clean conditions, but nothing that’ll have you ringing in sick.

Saturday 29th starts with a dismal 0.3ft – don’t even bother. But later that arvo the swell jumps to 5ft from the SE, with the combined energy climbing to 237. That’s moderate energy, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and fat. Sunday 30th and Monday 31st keep that 5ft SE swell going, but it’s a messy, short-period swell with cross-off winds. It’s marginal – surfable if you’re desperate, but not recommended.

Now here’s where it gets good. Tuesday 1st September is the pick of the whole outlook. The morning brings a clean 5ft east swell with a 7-second period and offshore winds from the SSE at 9 mph. Energy jumps to 243 – solid moderate power. That afternoon, the wind swings ESE at only 6 mph with cross-off conditions, and the swell holds at 5ft, energy 263. This is the best two sessions of the whole forecast.

Wednesday 2nd September morning is glassy – wind from the NNE at just 3 mph – with a 4ft east swell. It’s clean, but the swell drops off a bit. That arvo the cross-on wind picks up and chops it out.

From Thursday 3rd onward, the swell fades and the conditions turn ordinary again. There’s a long gap with poor surf: small swells, onshore or cross-on winds, and very little energy. By Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th the swell is down to 1-2ft. There’s a small blip Sunday arvo with a 2ft SE swell but the period is 11 seconds – longer period, but tiny. The last week has very little to offer, with weak energy (mostly under 100) and poor wind.

So overall – the first week is small and ordinary, then Tuesday 1st September morning and arvo are genuinely good. After that, it’s pretty much flat or messy. If you’re gonna paddle out, make it that Tuesday. Everything else is a maybe at best.

Rusty.
