The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a 16-day window on the table, and it’s a bit of a slow burn before the real juice shows up.
The first few days are flat. Nothing doing. But things start to kick off around Thursday the 16th, and we’ve got a solid run of swell through the weekend and into the next week. The standout moment is Saturday the 18th—that’s the one you want to circle.
Boiling Pot (Noosa) is the only spot on the radar, and it’s an advanced, inconsistent point break that loves an ENE swell direction. It’s exposed, so when the swell hits, it hits. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.
We start with a dud: Wednesday the 15th, tiny 1.0ft ESE swell at 10 seconds, with 24 (weak energy) – just a tease. The wind is offshore and clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
Thursday the 16th morning brings a jump: 8ft SSE swell, short period of 8 seconds, and combined energy of 664 (moderate). Offshore wind from the SSE at 18 mph, but it’s fresh, so it’s clean but a bit punchy. The afternoon gets a bit lumpy with a risk of storms and 22 mph wind. This is more for the skilled crew.
Friday the 17th holds similar: 8ft to 8ft SE swell, still short period (7 seconds), energy around 705 (moderate). Offshore wind keeps it clean, but it’s fresh and bumpy. Still a bit raw.
Saturday the 18th is the pick of the bunch. The morning sees a solid 10ft SE swell, 9 seconds, with energy jumping to 1330 (strong). Offshore wind from the south at 22 mph, fresh but clean. By afternoon, the swell hits 13ft SSE at 10 seconds, and the energy rockets to 5364 (very strong). That’s a proper groundswell. The wind is strong offshore, so it’ll be clean but a handful. At 13ft, this is expert territory only. The long period (10 seconds) means good shape, but at a point break like Boiling Pot, it’ll line up nicely. Expect a crowd, though—this spot gets busy.
Sunday the 19th drops a touch: 8ft to 10ft SE swell, 9-10 seconds, energy still strong (1291-1660). But the wind turns cross-offshore, which cleans it up but isn’t as perfect. Still surfable, but not as good as Saturday.
Monday the 20th holds size: 13ft SE swell, 10-11 seconds, energy up to 3228 (very strong). Cross-off wind keeps it clean. The period is getting longer, so it’s a proper groundswell with good energy.
The rest of the week into the 25th sees size drop slowly, but there are still decent waves. The 22nd has a 6ft E swell with 10 seconds and offshore wind—clean, moderate energy. The 25th morning brings a 8ft SE swell, short period (8 seconds), but with offshore wind and moderate energy, it’s a fun option.
By the 28th, we’re back to small stuff: 3ft E swell, 11 seconds, but the energy is weak (253). The 29th and 30th are small and weak again, with fresh cross-off winds. Not worth paddling out for.
Best call? Saturday the 18th, hands down. Big SSE/SE groundswell, strong offshore wind, and that point break will be reeling. It’s big—13ft—so only for the experienced. Expect a crew.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
