The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Squeaky Beach over the next couple of weeks.

First up, the water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

Honestly, I’m looking at this 16-day window and it’s a bit of a tough one. We’ve got a real dry spell to kick things off. From Monday the 24th of August right through to the end of the month, the conditions are a mess. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the shop, and the wave energy is weak (292 to 370). It’s a whole lot of nothing for a paddle surfer. The first real flicker of hope comes right at the end of the first week, on Friday the 28th of August. We’ve got a 3ft SW groundswell with a very long 18-second period pushing in, but the wind is still a cross-on mess. The energy is building (766), but it’s not clean. That afternoon, the swell bumps up to 4ft from the WSW with a 17-second period, energy nearly cracking 1000 (998), and a light onshore wind. It’s marginal, but it’s the best we’ve seen.

Now, the real standout for the whole period is shaping up way down the line. Look at Tuesday the 8th of September. The morning session is showing a solid 8ft WSW groundswell, with a 15-second period. The combined energy is pumping at a massive 4305. That’s serious power. The wind is onshore from the W, but for a spot like Squeaky Beach, that’s a heavy-duty swell. A wave that size (over 8ft) is strictly for experienced surfers only. It’s going to be a wild, powerful day. The forecast is a fair way out, so keep an eye on it, but if it lines up, that’s the day to be out there.

Between now and then, there’s a long gap of poor quality. The wind is just too strong and in the wrong direction for most of it, especially from the 5th of September onwards when the wind is howling. Don’t get too excited about the 5ft swell on the 6th of September – that’s accompanied by a fresh 19 mph cross-on wind, making it choppy and lumpy. It’s borderline kite-surfing weather more than anything else.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The second week has a few marginal days, but the only real standout is the 8th of September. It’s a long way off, but it’s the one with the grunt. Keep the board waxed just in case.

Rusty.
