The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here with the rundown for Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory).
The first week and a half is pretty grim. From now until the 20th of September, it’s mostly onshore slop or lumpy cross-onshore wind, with no real surf to speak of. The water temp is 56.1°, which is about average for the season.
The first chance of a decent session comes on Saturday the 12th of September in the afternoon. The wind goes glassy, with a 3.6ft SW groundswell and a 15 second period. The combined energy is moderate (528). It’s only a marginal forecast, but that glassy wind is a game-changer for clean conditions. The break is beginner-friendly, so the size is just right.
Monday the 21st of September is the real standout. The morning is glassy with a 4.6ft SW groundswell running at 16 seconds. The combined energy is solid moderate (1039). The afternoon stays clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. Those long-period lines will be peeling nicely, and with the period over 15 seconds, it’s a proper groundswell. It’ll be best on the reef and points, but the beach might see it wrapping a bit. This is the best day of the whole outlook.
Tuesday the 22nd of September is also worth a look. Glassy morning again with a 3.6ft, 17 second SW groundswell and moderate energy (615). The afternoon stays clean with a cross-off breeze. Good, clean waves, but a step down in size from the day before.
The rest of the period is mostly a mix of onshore wind and poor surf, with a few marginal afternoons. It’s a long wait, but the last few days of the outlook have some real quality.
Short Range ForecastSome drizzle, heaviest during Tue night. Very mild (max 12°C on Tue night, min 9°C on Tue morning). Winds increasing (light winds from the W on Tue morning, strong winds from the SW by Tue night). | Days 4-6 Weather SummaryMostly dry. Warm (max 22°C on Sun afternoon, min 11°C on Fri morning). Wind will be generally light. | ||||||||||||||||||||
