Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking.

We’re dealing with the one spot that’s got any promise in the whole 16-day window: Boiling Pot (Noosa - Boiling Pot). Now, this is a point break, and it’s pretty picky—it’s inconsistent and only for the advanced crew. The overall pattern is a burst of decent, clean SE groundswell kicking off right at the start, then a long, flat, and quiet tail-off that goes on for over a week.

The water temp at Boiling Pot is sitting at 69°F, which is about 2°F cooler than average for this time of year. It’s a bit nippier than usual, so you’ll want that steamer.

Monday the 6th of July is where we kick things off, but it’s a bit of a rough start. There’s a 10 ft SE swell arriving with a short 8-second period and a strong 35 km/h SSE offshore wind. It’s all muscle and no grace—big, lumpy, and for experts only. The combined energy is solid (951), but the quality is marginal.

The real standout window hits Tuesday the 7th of July through Thursday the 9th of July. Tuesday morning has a cleaner 7 ft SE swell with a longer 10-second period, and a steady 30 km/h S offshore wind. The energy climbs to 1026, and it’s getting better. But Wednesday the 8th is the pick of the bunch: the morning session sees a 7 ft SE swell at 8 seconds with 25 km/h SSE offshore, giving us a clean face and an energy reading of 1093. The conditions are noted as excellent for experienced surfers. Wednesday afternoon actually pumps up to 8 ft SE swell with a very long 12-second period, pushing the energy to 1590—that’s proper groundswell energy. Thursday morning keeps it going with a 8 ft SE swell at 11 seconds and lighter 20 km/h S offshore winds, and the energy jumps to 2061. That’s the peak of the run, and it’s the best on offer. The longer period means better-shaped waves and longer lulls between sets, perfect for picking off sets at a point break like this. Just know that with that size, it’s still only for paddlers who know what they’re doing.

After Thursday afternoon, the swell starts to fade fast. The weekend of the 11th to 12th has tiny, weak 3 ft to 4 ft leftovers, and from the 13th of July onward, it’s a flat spell that stretches all the way to the 21st. There’s a brief, ugly pulse on the 17th of July with a 7 ft short-period wind swell and cross-offshore winds, but the conditions are rated poor. That’s not one to bother with.

So, the short story: Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th of July are the only real standouts. Clean offshore winds, solid groundswell energy from the SE, and that classic Boiling Pot point break shape. Get in before the flat spell hits and the place goes to sleep.

Rusty.
