The Lowdown
The next 16 days at Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory) don’t offer much to get excited about. We’re looking at a gap right through to Tuesday morning, August 27th, before we finally see something vaguely surfable, but even then, conditions are a bit messy. The best window, if you can call it that, falls on Tuesday afternoon.
Let’s be real: the overall pattern is dominated by persistent cross-onshore winds and messy conditions, thanks to a steady barrage of westerly winds. Combined swell energy against Squeaky Beach stays in the moderate range for most of the period—hitting some higher notes toward the end—but without clean winds, it’s tough to enjoy. The water temperature sits at 56°, which is only about 2° above average for this time of year at Wilsons Promontory, so nothing unusual there.
Tuesday, August 27th, late morning shows a pulse of 3ft SW swell with a 13-second period. It’s a light cross-offshore wind from the SE creating clean conditions, so you could tickle a few lines on a longboard if you’re keen. The combined energy is 234—pretty weak, so don’t expect much push. It’s surfable but very ordinary, so manage expectations.
The real standout, as ordinary as it sounds, is Tuesday afternoon, August 27th. Glassy conditions. Flat calm—0 mph wind from the WSW. The same 3ft, 13-second SW swell holds, and combined energy creeps up to 269. That’s our best shot at clean, workable waves. It’s tiny, but with zero wind, it might offer the cleanest ride of the fortnight. For a beginner-rated break, that’s about as good as it gets around here right now.
Moving into the first days of September, the swell builds—towards the 5ft to 7ft range by the 4th and 5th—but it’s mostly accompanied by cross-onshore winds and sizable combined energy numbers like 2351 on the 5th morning. Those waves will be packing some punch, but the chop and lumpiness will be off-putting. However, early on Saturday, September 7th, we see glassy conditions again: W 3 mph wind, 4ft SW swell, 14-second period, combined energy at 581. That looks promising for a clean session if the glass holds, but this is still a long-range call and less certain.
Overall, if you’re a beginner looking at Squeaky Beach, August 27th afternoon is your tiny, glassy window. For the more experienced crew, keep an eye on September 7th morning, but don’t book the trip yet.
