The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it for Squeaky Beach.
Right off the bat, we're looking at a pretty bleak run. This ain't a week to be holding your breath for a classic session. We've got a solid 16 days on the table, but you're gonna be waiting a while for anything that's actually worth paddling out for.
We're starting with Thursday, September 3rd and honestly, it's a write-off. The swell is a chunky 8ft from the WSW with moderate wave energy (905) on Thursday morning, ramping up to strong energy (1461) in the afternoon. But it's absolutely howling from the west at 28 mph, turning it into a blown-out mess. Conditions are just poor. That pattern sticks around: Friday and Saturday are ruled by strong winds and raw energy levels, with Friday's morning session showing 7ft of WSW swell carrying very long 16-second period energy (1982). That kind of groundswell can be tricky at a beach break like this, often breaking too straight. But with the wind howling, it's a non-starter anyway. By Sunday, we're still dealing with strong onshore winds that are killing any chance of clean waves despite some lulls in size. The combined energy is still moderate (646-770).
The following week doesn't get much better. Monday through to Wednesday of the second week stays messy. By Thursday, September 10th, we get a glimmer – a morning with 5ft of SW swell from the west at 12 mph, almost glassy. The energy is moderate (1489). The forecast labels it marginal, but it's the first time the wind looks truly manageable. The water temp at the start of this period is 56°, which is about average for the time of year. The longer period (18 seconds) suggests shape, but we're still on a beach break.
The one true standout, the only time I'd genuinely tell you to check the tides and wax up, is Saturday, September 12th. Saturday afternoon we’ve got tiny 3ft waves but with a solid 16-second period from the SW and combined energy reading 362. What makes this session special is the wind: glassy. Dead flat calm. The forecast actually says "expect good surf conditions". For a beginner-friendly spot, those clean, glassy, small lines are about as fun and user-friendly as it gets. It's the only time in the whole run where the wind truly cooperates. Keep in mind Squeaky Beach can be inconsistent, but when it's glassy like this, it’s gold.
After that, it's a mess again. Sunday the 13th turns choppy. Monday the 14th brings a massive spike in energy (2161) with 6ft WSW swell and howling 25 mph west winds. That's full-on, blown-out, and only for experts who don't mind a beating. The final Thursday through Friday, September 17th and 18th, see the swell jump back up to 8ft to 10ft with strong cross-offshore winds from the SE. The wind direction is clean, but those are expert-level conditions at a beach break. The wave energy is strong (1575-1781) and those winds are 25-31 mph. For a beginner spot at Squeaky, that's more for watching or for kite surfers than a paddle session. It’s not a situation I’d recommend for most.
To be honest, apart from that glassy Saturday afternoon, this 16-day window is a tough one for Squeaky Beach. The good news is the forecast can shift, but right now, patience is the name of the game.
Rusty.
