The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Alright mate, lookin’ at the 16-day window for Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory), and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch to start. The first week-and-a-half is pretty much a write-off for a decent paddle. We’re talkin’ from Thursday the 10th right through to the 22nd of September before we see anything worth wakin’ up for.
The main issue early on is the wind. For days on end it’s smackin’ us from the west and southwest, mostly cross-on or onshore, and it’s wreckin’ any chance of clean waves. There’s some size around, sure – like on the 15th we’ve got a couple of feet of SW groundswell with a long 16-second period and very strong energy (2314), but the wind’s a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore. That’s lumpy, choppy, and just plain ugly. A couple of days later on the 18th, the swell jumps back up to 7 ft – 8 ft from the WSW, but again, it’s blown out. That kind of size with messy wind is only for the hardcore, and even then, it’s not gonna be pretty.
Most of the time the swell is under 5 ft, but the wind keeps it from coming together. The water temp’s sittin’ around 56°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no shock there.
Then, finally, we get a window. Come Tuesday the 22nd of September, the whole setup flips. The wind goes glassy in the morning – dead calm – and we get a clean 2 ft SW groundswell with a super long 19-second period (313 combined energy). It’s small, but it’s glassy. That’s a paddlin’ board or log kind of morning, and the calm conditions mean it’ll be a treat to just be out there. The afternoon cleans up more with a light offshore for Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th. Thursday is the real standout: 7 ft of SW swell (9-second period) with a light cross-offshore and very strong wave energy (1028). The wind is light, the surf is clean, and it’s got some push. That Thursday, the 24th, is the best on offer – proper fun-size waves with decent power and clean conditions. Be aware that Squeaky Beach can get a crowd sometimes, and with those conditions, you won’t be alone.
So, the long story short: the first 12 days are a no-go for most of us. The cleanest, best chance comes on Thursday the 24th of September, with a couple of smaller but glassy mornings before that.
Rusty.
