The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s cookin’ at Squeaky Beach.
First up, we’re looking at a big, rugged stretch of coast with powerful groundswell potential. Water temp is 56°F, which is about average for this time of year down here. The opening days are a write-off though. Thursday the 13th through Friday the 14th are getting hammered by a solid 7 ft to 7 ft SW swell, but it’s paired with howling 19 mph westerly onshore winds. Surf quality is poor – that’s a hard pass, even if the combined energy is cranking (2210 and 2012). Not worth paddling out.
Now, things start looking up on Saturday the 15th. Saturday morning we’ve got a nice 5 ft SW swell, 15-second period, and the wind goes glassy – just 3 mph from the WSW. That’s the first real window for clean waves. Combined energy is moderate at 906, but with that glassy surface, the waves should have a clean face. The swell is a good size for beginners, not too big. But note – this is a 16-second period groundswell, so it’ll be a bit more lined up and powerful, with longer waits between sets. Ideal for a beach like Squeaky if you’re patient.
After that, Sunday the 16th through Monday the 17th drops to around 3 ft to 3 ft of SW swell, but the wind turns offshore from the ENE at 9 mph. That keeps things clean and workable. Combined energy drops into the 200-300 range, so it’s small but tidy. A fun longboard day for sure.
We hit a bit of a lull from Tuesday the 18th through Thursday the 20th. Swell drops under 2 ft, and while the wind is light and sometimes glassy, the energy is weak (around 82-265). Not much to get excited about.
There’s a glimmer on Friday the 21st – a small uptick to 3 ft of WSW swell with offshore ENE 9 mph winds, giving clean conditions. Combined energy is 352, so it’s little but fun.
Then the swell builds again, but the wind turns nasty from Saturday the 22nd onward. For the rest of the window, we see repeated strong cross-onshore and onshore winds, especially from the 23rd through the 26th, with gusts over 22 mph and messy 7 ft to 10 ft wind slop. Combined energy spikes into the thousands (4939 on the 24th!), but the wind is so brutal it’s hopeless for surfing. Honestly, that late August window might be more interesting for a kite boarder than a paddle surfer.
Best call of the whole run: Saturday the 15th morning – 5 ft SW swell, glassed out, clean as a whistle. Get it while it’s good.
