The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here.
Look, I'm gonna level with you. The next 16 days at Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory) are a real mixed bag, and honestly, mostly a write-off. We've got a solid run of swell from the 15th, but the wind is almost always a problem. The crowds are "sometimes" an issue, and the water is sitting at 57°, which is pretty much dead average for this time of year.
The first few days are a real struggle. Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th have some decent size – 6ft to 6ft from the WSW – and that's a long-period groundswell (14-15 seconds) with very strong energy (1823 to 2315), but it's all blown out by onshore westerlies. The wind is ugly, the wave comment is "poor," and there's nothing to get excited about.
Friday the 17th drops off to 4ft, still with a long 16-second period from the SW, but the wind is cross-onshore. Same story Saturday and Sunday – the swell gets smaller and the conditions are either cross-onshore or just mediocre. Saturday afternoon on the 18th is the closest we get to a silver lining: 3ft SW swell with glassy conditions. It's "glass" on the wind, and the energy is moderate (363). It's not a standout, but it's the cleanest it'll be all week. The period is a moderate 14 seconds, so it should be workable for a beginner-friendly wave.
Then we hit a big gap. From Monday the 20th right through to the end of the period on the 30th, the wave heights are tiny – mostly under 3ft – and the wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore. The combined energy drops into the low hundreds (145 to 519), and the wave comments are "poor" for nearly every single session. There's a pulse on the 24th and 25th with 7ft to 8ft SW swells, but the wind is howling onshore at 15-19 mph, so it's just a mess.
The only real standout is that Saturday afternoon on the 18th. It's not going to be epic, but if you want a clean, small wave to mess around on, that's your window. The swell is 3ft from the SW, period is 14 seconds, and it's glassy. For a beginner-friendly spot, that's the best you're gonna get. Otherwise, it's a long, flat, windy wait.
Rusty.
