The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a pretty bleak outlook for Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory) for the next couple of weeks.
The pattern that’s shaping up is a long stretch of wind and swell that’s just not playing nice. We’ve got a lot of swell energy coming through, but the wind is going to ruin it day after day. For the first week, you’re looking at a mix of moderate to strong cross-onshore and onshore winds, with some near-gale gusts making things completely blown out. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no drama there, but the conditions are the problem.
The first real flicker of something you could paddle out into doesn’t show up until Sunday the 6th. The morning still has a moderate cross-onshore and choppy 8ft swell from the WSW, with energy around 2731 – that’s a lot of power, but it’s messy. The afternoon, however, gets a slight breather: a light cross-onshore with small wind ripples, swell dropping to 6ft from the WSW at 15 seconds. The energy is still strong at 1592, and the score is a 3 out of 10. It’s marginal, but it’s the best on offer so far. The tide could be tricky, and the period is long at 15 seconds, which at a beach break like this means the sets might straighten out some. Still, if you need a paddle, the afternoon is your window.
Nothing really gets clean for the next week after that. Monday the 7th morning sees a clean, cross-off breeze from the SSE at 3 mph, and a 3ft SW swell with a period of 13 seconds. The energy is weak at 245. It’s surfable but tiny, and very ordinary. From there it’s back to poor conditions through the rest of the second week, with a lot of fresh to strong cross-onshore wind ruining any decent swell that comes through. The stand out for size would be Wednesday the 9th afternoon when a 8ft WSW swell rolls in with long 17-second period and massive energy of 3968, but the onshore wind makes it a total mess.
Don't bother with Thursday the 3rd or Saturday the 5th – those winds are near-gale at 31 to 37 mph with big 8ft to 10ft swell. That’s experts-only size if the wind wasn’t howling, but it is, so unless you’re kiting, stay out of the water.
Honestly, if you can only pick one day, go for Sunday the 6th afternoon. It’s not perfect, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see from this forecast.
Rusty.
