The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you—the next two weeks are a real mixed bag. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing worth paddling out for, then a late bloom of clean, solid waves that might just make up for the wait. Let’s get into it.

The pattern starts with a proper dry spell. From Saturday the 29th of August right through to Tuesday the 8th of September, it’s a write-off. We’re looking at tiny dribble—1 to 2 feet of weak, short-period slop with cross-off winds chopping it up. The combined swell energy barely scratches past 80, so it’s just not worth getting the wetsuit wet. That’s over a week of flatness to sit through.

The first real glimmer shows up on Wednesday the 9th of September. Boiling Pot starts to see some pulse, with chest-high 6 to 6 foot swell out of the SSE/SE, but the period’s still short at 7 seconds and the energy jumps to around 367. The forecast calls it marginal, and I’d agree—it’s got potential but the quality’s not quite there yet.

Then Thursday the 10th of September is where it gets good. This is the standout of the whole outlook. Boiling Pot wakes up with 8 feet of SE swell (7-second period), combined energy hitting 588—that’s proper moderate energy. But the real beauty is the wind: a gentle offshore from the south, glassy and clean. The swell direction lines up well with the pot’s optimum ENE, so those long, grinding right-handers should set up nicely. This is advanced territory—anything over 7 feet is for experienced surfers only, but for those who can handle it, Thursday morning is your window. The afternoon holds at 8 feet with light east cross-off, still clean but a touch weaker. Crowds are possible at Boiling Pot, so get in early.

Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th keep the momentum. Friday morning serves up 6 feet ESE swell with gentle offshore south winds—clean, shoulder-high waves and solid energy (350). Saturday morning drops to 6 feet but goes glassy with a slight SSE breeze, making for a silky session (304 energy). The period stays short at 7 seconds, so it won’t be a long-range groundswell, but it’ll be fun and punchy. Saturday afternoon gets a bit cross-on, so stick to the mornings.

Sunday the 13th rounds it out with another 6 feet ESE swell and a gentle offshore from the south—clean and consistent (343 energy). The whole run from the 9th to the 13th is the only real surf on offer, with Thursday 10th being the clear best.

Water temps are about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.

So, sit tight through the long flat spell, then pencil in that Thursday morning for a proper session.

Rusty.
