The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory) is looking at a long, dry spell. For the first week, it’s all onshore wind and messy, powerful groundswell that’s gonna be junk. We’re talking wave energy in the strong range (2132) to start, but with a cross-onshore 25 km/h wind and a 15-second period swell, it’s just blown-out chaos. Water temp is about normal for the season.
From Wednesday the 16th through Tuesday the 22nd, it’s mostly poor. Swell runs over 5ft for a bit, so it’s already into “experts only” territory for the bigger pulses, but with the wind howling, even they’ll be sitting on the beach. Tuesday the 22nd afternoon is the first hint of something halfway decent – light cross-shore wind, 4ft of swell, and a 16-second period, but it’s still only a marginal call.
Then Wednesday the 23rd morning is the clear standout. Glassy flat calm with an ENE light breeze, waist-high 4ft of SW groundswell at 15 seconds. Wave energy is moderate (472), but it’ll be clean, lined-up, and absolute joy to surf. That’s the day to call in sick. After that, the swell drops right off to ankle-to-knee high dribble, even with clean offshore winds late in the week. You’ll get a clean little knee-high wave on Saturday the 26th afternoon with a super long 21-second period, but it’s so small you’ll be fighting for scraps.
Sunday the 27th morning is another glassy beauty with 3ft of long-period groundswell (18 seconds). That’s a quiet, clean session if you’re desperate. But from the 28th onward, it’s back to onshore wind and rain, building into stronger breezes and messy conditions right through to the 1st of October.
Honest truth: Wednesday the 23rd at first light is the one. Squeaky goes glassy, the groundswell has some push, and it’ll be just you and the sand. It’s fairly consistent here, so this lean patch won’t last forever – forecasts can flip – but for now, that Wednesday morning is your only real shot. Don’t waste it.
Rusty.
