The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory) has on offer over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a bit of a tough stretch, but we’ll find a few moments where it’s worth a paddle.
First thing to note is that the water temp is running about average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there. The swell direction that works best here is SW, and that’s what most of the swell is coming from, so that’s a tick.
Alright, Sunday the 23rd is a write-off. We’ve got 1.4m SW swell with a solid 14-second period, but the wind is cross-on from the NW at 15 km/h, making it choppy. The energy is moderate (899), but the conditions are just poor for surfing. The afternoon cleans up a little with lighter wind but still questionable tides.
Monday the 24th, the swell drops to 0.9m and the wind goes cross-shore, so it’s not really doing anything.
Tuesday the 25th morning is the first real glimmer. We’ve got a clean window with cross-off wind from the ENE at 15 km/h and 0.8m SW swell at 13 seconds. The energy is weak (234), but the conditions are clean. It’s small, beginner-friendly, and the consistency is fairly consistent. Crowds are a “sometimes” thing here, so you might have it to yourself. It’s not a standout, but it’s the best so far.
Wednesday the 26th gets messy with onshore wind and choppy conditions, and Thursday the 27th is even smaller and bumpy.
Friday the 28th afternoon, we see a bump. The swell picks up to 2.0m from the WSW with a 17-second period – that’s a long-period groundswell with strong energy (3890). The wind is cross-on from the SW at 15 km/h, so it’s a gentle cross-onshore with some chop. It’s marginal, but if you’re after a bigger, more powerful wave, this is the best on offer in the first week. Just remember, long-period swells like this can break a bit straight on a beach setup, so keep an eye on the shape. This is the only real standout in the first week.
The second week starts rough. Sunday the 30th has onshore wind, and Monday the 31st is the same story. September 1st brings a near-gale from the NW at 50 km/h – total blowout.
September 2nd morning has a light cross-shore wind from the N at 10 km/h, with 1.2m SW swell at 14 seconds. It’s marginal, but the wind is light, so it’s the least ugly option in the second week. The energy is moderate (573).
From September 3rd through to the 7th, it’s mostly large, onshore, and messy. The 4th sees a big 2.3m SW swell with a 17-second period and very strong energy (4427), but the wind is howling onshore at 30 km/h. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, to sum it up: the true standout is Friday the 28th afternoon for that bigger, powerful groundswell, even if it’s a bit choppy. The only other half-decent session is Tuesday the 25th morning for a clean, small wave. The rest is a long gap of poor conditions. It’s a quiet run, but forecasts can always change.
Rusty.
