The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the line for Squeaky Beach.
The next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag. We're looking at a solid run of groundswell, but the wind is going to be the main player, and it's not always on our side. There's a bit of a wait for the really good stuff.
The first standout is Monday the 21st of September. After a long stretch of messy, blown-out conditions, we finally get a clean-up. The afternoon is where it's at. We've got a clean 6ft SW groundswell rolling in, packing a heap of energy (1666). The wind goes light and offshore from the SE, making it super clean. This is the pick of the entire forecast for experienced surfers – it's got size, power, and clean faces. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Before that, the first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 12th has some glassy moments in the afternoon with a 4ft SW swell, but the scores are low. Sunday the 13th is small and weak with a 3ft swell. Then from Monday the 14th through to Sunday the 20th, it's a total mess – strong onshores, rain, and choppy conditions. Monday the 14th sees a tiny 2ft swell with a cross-on wind, and Tuesday the 15th brings 25 mph onshores and a messy 6ft to 8ft swell (2008 combined energy). Wednesday the 16th is still cross and choppy with a 7ft swell. It's not until that Monday the 21st that things turn around.
After that Monday standout, the quality drops off again. Tuesday the 22nd has a good 5ft to 6ft SW swell with a long 17-second period, but the wind is onshore or cross-on, keeping the conditions ordinary. Wednesday the 23rd morning has a cleaner look with a 4ft SW swell and a light cross-off breeze, but it's a lot smaller. Thursday the 24th is back to strong onshores.
There's another flicker of hope on Friday the 25th of September. The morning session has a 4ft SW groundswell (564 energy) and a light offshore from the ESE, making for clean conditions. The afternoon holds a 3ft SW swell with a gentle offshore breeze. It's smaller than the Monday before, but clean. Saturday the 26th drops off again into tiny, weak waves.
So, to sum it up: the main event is Monday the 21st afternoon, with Friday the 25th morning being a decent, smaller backup. The rest of the time, the wind has other plans. The long period of these SW swells (15-17 seconds) means Squeaky, being a beach break, might get a bit straight and fat, but when the wind's right, there will be some clean lines to be had.
Stay patient, keep an eye on that wind.
