The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got a pretty honest look at what’s coming up for Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory). Honestly, mate, the next 16 days are a real mixed bag, and it’s not looking like a classic stretch of surf. The water temp is sitting at 56°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first week is a write-off for decent waves. From Tuesday 1st September right through to the end of the week, we’ve got onshore winds and lumpy, messy conditions. The swell is there – plenty of energy, with combined energy readings hitting 1481 (moderate) on Wednesday 2nd morning, and even 2289 (strong) on Friday 4th morning – but the wind is just ruining it. It’s mostly cross-on or onshore, strong breezes, and a lot of "poor surf conditions" stamped on the forecast. Friday 5th is a shocker with near gale-force winds and 10 ft swell – that’s only for the experts, and the wind will make it a washing machine. Saturday 6th morning is a little better, with a gentle breeze and 7 ft swell from the SW, but it’s still only marginal, so don’t get your hopes up.
The middle of the week clears up a bit. Monday 7th September morning is a standout for the whole period, but only just. We’ve got glassy conditions – a light northerly breeze, 3 ft swell from the WSW, and clean waves. The energy is weak (215), but it’s the cleanest it’ll be. It’s a beginner-friendly size, but the break is fairly consistent, so it’s worth a look if you’re desperate for a paddle. The afternoon stays clean with a cross-off breeze, but the swell drops to 2 ft. After that, it’s back to the wind from Tuesday 8th through Friday 11th, with fresh onshore breezes and lumpy surf. The energy jumps up again – 2506 on Tuesday morning, 3663 on Wednesday 9th morning – but the wind is killing it.
The best surf of the whole forecast actually shows up at the end of the second week. Monday 15th September morning has clean waves with a light cross-off breeze, 3 ft swell from the SW, and a long 18-second period. The energy is moderate (589), and the wind is light, so it’ll be glassy. The afternoon is even better – offshore breeze from the ENE, clean, 3 ft swell. This is the pick of the bunch, but it’s a long way out, so treat it as a promising maybe. The break is fairly consistent, but with only a 2/5 rating, it’s not a classic spot. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so keep that in mind.
Honestly, the whole period is a struggle. The wind is the enemy, and the clean windows are few and far between. It’s a tough run, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on that 15th September – it’s the only real glimmer of hope.
