The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week is a write-off. We’ve got a long stretch of rubbish from Monday the 27th of July right through to Friday the 31st. The wind is persistently cross-onshore, sometimes strong, and the wave quality is poor. There’s a bit of a pulse on Wednesday the 29th with swell hitting 8 ft and a very long 16-second period, but it’s blowing a near gale from the southwest, so it’s just a messy, blown-out mess. Not worth paddling out for.
Then we get a little glimmer of hope. The weekend of August 1st and 2nd sees a shift. Saturday the 1st of August starts with glassy conditions in the morning, a light NNE breeze at 3 mph, and a small 2 ft south-west swell with a clean 12-second period. The combined energy is weak (169), but it’s surfable. The afternoon gets even cleaner with a light offshore breeze from the east-northeast, though the swell drops to 1 ft with a very long 16-second period. It’s small, but it’s the best we’ve seen.
The standout is Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning starts with a light cross-offshore breeze, the swell picks up to 3 ft from the south-west with a long 17-second period, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 505. The wind is light, and the surf is clean. The afternoon is even better, going glassy again with a light SSE breeze at 3 mph, same swell height and a 16-second period, and energy at 527. This is your window. For a beginner spot like Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory), these conditions are about as good as it gets. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
After that, it turns ugly again. Monday the 3rd of August through to the end of the forecast sees mostly cross-onshore winds, lumpy conditions, and poor surf. There’s a small window of clean surf on Thursday the 6th of August with a 3 ft south-west swell and a light cross-offshore breeze, but it’s marginal. The rest is just wind and chop.
So, to sum it up: wait for Sunday the 2nd of August. That’s the only real standout. The morning and afternoon both offer clean, surfable waves with glassy or light offshore wind. Don’t bother with the rest.
Rusty.
