The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next couple of weeks at Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory) are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. We've got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead, so if you're keen for a wave, you'll need to be patient and pick your moments carefully.
The first real chance of anything decent doesn't show up until Thursday, the 27th of August. Before that, from the 18th through to the 26th, it's mostly a write-off. We've got onshore winds, lumpy chop, and very little energy in the water for most of that time. Don't bother getting the board wet.
The standout window is Thursday, the 27th. Morning looks good with a clean 5ft swell from the WSW, and a gentle offshore breeze. The afternoon is even better for the glassy conditions – light airs and a clean 3ft wave. That's your best bet. It's not huge, but it'll be clean and fun. Keep in mind the water temp is sitting at 56°F, which is about average for this time of year, so a good wetsuit is a must.
After that, Friday the 28th gets messy again with cross-onshore winds and lumpy surf. Saturday the 29th has a fresh offshore breeze, but the swell is small and the conditions are marginal.
Looking further out, the second week is very quiet. There's a tiny pulse of energy on the 30th, but it's blown out and weak. The start of September is flat and unproductive. Honestly, there's nothing on the horizon that gets me excited. The energy levels are mostly weak, and the winds are all over the place.
So, there it is. If you can get to the beach on the morning of Thursday the 27th, you'll score the best of what's on offer. Otherwise, you might be better off waiting for the next proper swell to fill in. The forecast can always change, but right now, it's a waiting game.
Rusty.
