The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a bit of a quiet spell on the cards for the next couple of weeks, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
Right now, the whole 16-day window is looking pretty average for a paddle. The first half of the run is a write-off, honestly. We’re talking about a solid 10 days of onshore winds and messy, lumpy conditions that are just not worth paddling out for. It’s a long stretch of poor surf, with the wind blowing hard from the west and northwest, making a mess of things. The swell does get bigger – we see some solid pulses of energy, with combined energy readings hitting 3436 on the 24th of July, but it’s all blown out and choppy. That’s more of a kite session than a surf session, to be honest.
The real standout, the only true light at the end of the tunnel, comes on Saturday, the 1st of August. We finally get a proper offshore wind, a clean easterly breeze, and the swell is a tidy 3 ft to 3 ft coming from the southwest with a 13-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, and the water is about average for the time of year.
Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory) is the spot to be. The swell is a small but clean 3 ft to 3 ft from the southwest. That offshore wind is going to make it glassy and clean. The combined energy is a moderate 287 to 359, so it’s not going to be a massive day, but it will be a fun one. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The only downside is that crowds are possible here, so you might want to get down early. It’s a fairly consistent break, so you’ll find a few clean lines.
That's your window. A long wait, but a clean little Saturday morning session on the 1st of August. The rest is a write-off, but hey, it’s winter.
Rusty.
