The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the 16-day window for Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory). We’ve got a slow start – the first few days are a write-off with junk conditions and barely any swell. From Saturday the 8th, things start to look a little more interesting, but there’s a big gap of blown-out mess from Monday the 10th through to Friday the 14th. The surf picks up again towards the end of the run, with the best of it coming on the 18th and 19th.
Water temp is sittin’ around 57°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The standout for the whole period is lookin’ like Tuesday the 18th. Early morning we’ve got a clean 1ft groundswell from the southwest, period holdin’ at 14 seconds – that’s proper long-period energy for a beach break, which can make it a little more walled up, but the wind is glassy, absolutely dead calm. Combined energy is low at 301, so it’s not a powerhouse, but it’ll be clean and fun for a beginner. Afternoon gets a light offshore breeze from the ESE, makin’ it glassy clean. It’s a fairly consistent break, so you shouldn’t be waitin’ long, and crowds are only sometimes an issue here.
Another good shout is Wednesday the 19th afternoon. The swell drops a touch to 2ft from the southwest, still 15-second period, but the wind goes glassy again. Combined energy sits at 285, so it’s weak but clean. That’s a sneaky little session for anyone wantin’ a peaceful paddle.
Keep in mind, from Saturday the 8th morning through Sunday the 9th afternoon, we’ve got clean but small waves, around 3ft to 3ft, with cross-offshore winds. The energy is moderate (around 299 to 361), but the quality is good enough for a beginner to get wet. After that, a big slug of wind and swell from Monday the 10th to Friday the 14th brings messy, blown-out conditions with swell over 8ft at times and strong winds – that’s expert-only territory, and even then it’s ugly.
Out of the whole run, Tuesday the 18th morning is the pick. Small, glassy, clean. Don’t expect much else.
Rusty.
