The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer for Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory) over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – the first week is a tough slog. From Thursday the 20th right through to the end of August, there’s a heap of days where the wind is just howling or onshore, making a mess of things. The water is sitting at about 56°F, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Tuesday the 25th of August. It’s not going to be a classic, but we’ve got a long-period groundswell from the WSW with a period of 16 seconds, pushing in around 6ft. The combined energy is powerful (1872). The wind is a cross-shore from the south at 16 mph, so it’s not clean, but it’s a step up from the straight onshore crap we’ve been dealing with. It’s a tough wave that day, only for the keeners.
The standouts are all in the first few days of September. Mark your calendars. Monday the 31st of August is a beauty. The swell is a clean 4ft from the WSW (10 seconds period) with a light offshore breeze from the NE. The energy is moderate (446), and the conditions are clean. This is a proper beginner-friendly wave. The afternoon gets even better with glassy conditions and a 4ft swell. This is the best of the run.
But the real pick of the whole forecast is Wednesday the 2nd of September. The afternoon session is looking absolutely mint. We’ve got a 8ft swell from the WSW, period around 9 seconds, and a light offshore breeze from the ESE. The combined energy is pushing up to 904, and the call is for very good surf. This is a proper wave, but at 8ft, it’s for the lads with some experience – beginners should sit this one out.
Thursday the 3rd holds some decent size too, with 7ft and 6ft from the WSW, but the wind is a gentle cross-shore with rain showers, so it’s a bit grubby. Still, there’s power in the water (1742 and 1437 energy). The morning of Friday the 4th gets blown out by a strong westerly, so that’s a write-off.
So, the long and short of it: you’ve got a rough week to get through, but the first few days of September are where it’s at. The standouts are the 31st of August for the clean, fun waves, and the 2nd of September for the bigger, punchier stuff. Get out there if you can.
Rusty.
