Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, ol’ Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next sixteen days for Squeaky Beach down at Wilsons Promontory. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a couple of windows to get excited about.

The first decent chance to wet a line comes Sunday morning, August 2nd. We’ve got a clean 3-foot swell rolling in from the southwest, packing a long 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy, giving you 443 units of grunt. The wind is light and variable, so the surface should be pretty tidy. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, so a good one for a gentle paddle. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year.

Sunday afternoon looks even better. The swell holds at 3 feet from the SW, that same long period, and the wind swings around to a light cross-offshore breeze. That’ll really clean things up. This is a standout window for the easy-going, fun surf.

Now, Monday the 3rd is a write-off. We get a fresh northwesterly at 35 km/h that blows the ocean flat and lumpy, with a tiny 2-foot swell. Then Monday afternoon it gets worse – a strong 25 mph onshore wind and a messy 6-foot, 8-second windswell. That’s a no-go. The rest of the week into Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday is pretty grim with onshore winds and small, weak swell. The combined energy drops right down.

We get a little reprieve on Friday morning, August 7th. A light north-northwesterly breeze and a clean-looking 3-foot SW groundswell (17-second period, 407 units of energy) makes for a nice, small morning session. Friday afternoon is a beauty, with a light cross-offshore breeze and a 3-foot SW swell. That’s another clean, fun window.

Saturday the 8th is the pick of the bunch. A light offshore breeze from the east combines with a 3 to 3-foot SW groundswell. The wind is offshore, the waves are clean, and the energy is moderate. This is the best-looking day on the whole forecast. Get out there.

Sunday the 9th is still okay, but the swell starts to fade. A light cross-offshore wind keeps the surface clean for small, 2-foot waves.

Then we hit a rough patch. From Monday the 10th through to the end of the 16-day window, it’s a long stretch of strong onshore winds from the northwest, west, and southwest. The swell gets bigger – over 5 feet and even pushing 6 feet – but it’s all blown out and choppy. The combined energy gets high, like 1021 and 1312 in some spots, but with the wind howling onshore, it’s a messy, hard-to-surf situation. For a beginner-friendly beach break, this is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one. The conditions are poor for most of the second week.

So, to wrap it up: the clear standouts are Saturday morning, August 8th, and the Friday afternoon, August 7th session. Both offer clean, easy-going waves with light, favorable winds. The rest of the period is a mix of small, clean windows and long, blown-out stretches. Don’t hold your breath for the back half of the outlook.

Stay stoked, and I’ll see you in the water.
