Head into Noosa National Park to the end of Park road carpark, and walk a couple of minutes towards Tea Tree Bay and you’ll find Boiling Pot. It’s another in the series of quality right point breaks Noosa is known for. Boiling Pot is the outside take-off section of National Park, the take-off can be quite steep in front of the rocks but reduces in power as you get down to Johnsons and on small days you’ll have to get on the gas to make sections. On larger days, typically E to NE swells it can break for a couple of hundred metres past Johnsons and into Little Cove. The best days head-high and above. The size spreads the crowd out and means sections become more makable.
Like the rest of Noosa points, if it’s on it will be ultra-crowded, and mals everywhere.
Finding somewhere to park can be tricky. Bring your patience and a smile, you’re in Noosa!
