The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s just get this straight: most of this 16-day window is a write-off for decent waves. There’s only one real standout session, and it’s a short window of clean conditions. A few other days might be worth a look for a beginner, but they are compromised. Here’s the run-down.

The action is over at Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory). The water temp is sitting at 56°F, which is about average for the time of year, so no major shock to the system.

It all kicks off this Tuesday afternoon (25th August). This is your one and only real chance. We’ve got a clean 3ft of groundswell from the SW, with a very long period of 13 seconds. The wind is glass – dead calm. That means the beach is going to be looking absolutely perfect, even if the swell is small. The combined energy is weak (337), so it’s not powerful, but the clean conditions will make it super fun on a log or a mini-mal. Perfect for a beginner session. There are only a couple of sets, but you’ll have the place to yourself since crowds are only ‘sometimes’.

Then, things turn to garbage. Wednesday (26th) gets hammered by 16 mph cross-onshore winds, pushing up a bumpy 4ft. That’s a tough paddle for a tiny reward. Thursday and Friday are both blown out and messy with onshore wind. The swell sticks around but the quality is shot.

The only other flicker of life is on Saturday the 5th of September. The afternoon looks like the best bet. We’ve got 5ft of SW groundswell with a decent period of 15 seconds, combined energy is moderate (914). The wind turns cross-offshore, which will clean it right up. It’s a decent setup but with a ‘moderate breeze’ you’ll still have some texture on the face. It’s marginal, but it’s the best we get after the first day. The morning is also a marginal option with 5ft but cross-onshore wind making it choppy.

The rest of the run is stuffed. Onshore gales in early September, then strong winds and poor conditions right through to the 9th. The last day shows a short-period 7ft of slop with 22 mph winds – that’s just a washing machine. A kite surfer might look at those windy days, but for a paddle board, it’s a no-go.

So, for the whole 16 days, Tuesday afternoon (25th August) is the clear winner. Get on it while it’s glassy. After that, you’re on a bench until Saturday the 5th of September afternoon for a half-decent chance.
