The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’re looking at a solid stretch of time ahead, but don’t get too excited about the first week or so – it’s going to be a bit of a write-off for clean waves at Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory). The water is sitting at 57°, which is about average for this time of year.
The main issue is the wind. For the first several days, starting Tuesday the 21st, we’ve got a persistent run of strong onshore and cross-onshore winds, mostly from the west and west-southwest, smashing the place up. The swell is there, but it’s all wind-affected junk. The combined energy on Thursday the 23rd morning is a massive 1772 (moderate to strong), but with a 22 mph onshore wind, it’s just a mess. This pattern hangs on through the weekend and into the start of the next week. There’s a real gap here – no surf worth paddling out for.
Things start to show a glimmer of hope on Tuesday the 28th. The wind drops right off, and we get a light cross-on breeze with a clean window opening up. The swell is still a bit lumpy and the score is marginal, but it’s a move in the right direction.
Now, the real standout. You want to circle Wednesday the 29th on your calendar. That morning, we get a beautiful 8 ft groundswell from the southwest with a very long period of 15 seconds. The wind is light from the northeast, clean and cross-offshore. The combined energy is a powerful 2416 (strong). This is proper groundswell – it’s going to be a little bit straight for a beach break, but the quality and power will be unreal for experienced surfers. The afternoon holds up too, with a 7 ft swell from the same direction, 14 seconds, and a light offshore easterly breeze. This is the best on offer in the whole forecast. Crowds are possible here, so get out early.
After that, the swell drops off quickly. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st see a return to smaller, choppier conditions with onshore winds. The first day of August brings a tiny 2 ft leftover swell from the southwest, but with clean offshore winds. The energy is weak (144-181), but for a beginner looking for a mellow, clean session, it’s surfable. The same small, clean conditions roll through the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th of August, but the swell is tiny – 1 ft to 3 ft – and the wind shifts around a bit. It’s enough for a longboard if you’re desperate.
Overall, the only truly standout day for good, powerful surf is Wednesday the 29th of July. Get it while it’s clean.
Rusty.
