The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' down at Squeaky Beach.
We're staring down the barrel of a pretty bleak 16-day outlook here, I'm not gonna lie. The pattern is dominated by one messy, wind-affected swell after another, and honest-to-goodness clean, rideable waves are gonna be as rare as a calm day in a washing machine. We're lookin' at a long, long wait for anything half decent. For the first couple of weeks, it’s all cross-onshore, onshore, and fresh-to-strong breezes that are gonna turn that South West groundswell into a choppy, lumpy mess. The water's sitting at a cool 56°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, nothin' weird there.
You're gonna have to be patient because the first week and a half is a write-off. From Friday the 4th all the way through to the middle of the second week, there's honestly nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is howling, the swell is either too small or it's blown out. Even the swell that has some real grunt to it, like the 8ft to 8ft SW swell rollin' in on Wednesday the 9th with a combined energy of 4747, is just getting absolutely mauled by that strong onshore wind.
Now, if you're the kinda surfer who lives for the chase and you've got some serious patience, there's a glimmer. The standout by a long, long way is the morning of Friday the 18th of September. That is our one true shot. We've got a clean 8ft swell rolling in from the SW. Yes, it's a big one, over 8ft on the face of it, so this is strictly for the experienced crew who know what they're doing. But the wind goes light and cross-shore, which at Squeaky Beach could just clean up that long period groundswell (21 seconds... that's a proper low-frequency pulse). The combined energy is a massive 6079. It's a long-range call, so you gotta take it with a grain of salt, but that's the day to have your board waxed and ready to go. The afternoon of that same day is still looking solid with 8ft and light cross-shore winds (energy at 5559). The wind the following Saturday 19th is also light, but the swell has backed off a fair bit.
For the rest of the time? It's a long stretch of "maybe next time". Even that promising Friday 18th swell is a long-period groundswell, which can sometimes be a bit too straight for a beach break like this, but given the conditions look so much cleaner than anything else, it’s our only real call.
Rusty.
