The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next week or so at Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory) is a bit of a write-off for decent paddle surfing. The wind is just howling onshore for most of it, and the swell is messy. We’ve got a solid 6 ft to 8 ft of WSW swell running from Wednesday 2nd right through the weekend, but it’s all blown out by strong westerly winds. That 19-34 mph stuff is just brutal. The wave energy is massive, between 1202 and 2615, but it’s all for nothing – it’s a kite surfer’s dream, not ours. Even Saturday morning the 5th has a near gale (31 mph) cross-onshore, which is just ugly.
We do get a little breather on Sunday 6th afternoon with a gentler 5 ft SW swell (854 energy) and lighter 9 mph onshore wind, but the forecast calls it marginal. Not worth getting excited about. Monday 7th is tiny and flat, with 2 ft to 2 ft.
Now, the real standout is Thursday 10th September. That’s the one. The morning is a gem – clean 8 ft SW groundswell with a 17-second period. That’s a long, powerful groundswell, and with a gentle 9 mph offshore breeze from the east, the place will be glassy. The wave energy is cranking at 5284, which is very strong. This is serious, powerful surf. The 8 ft size puts it in expert territory, so only for the experienced crew. The afternoon holds up nicely too: 8 ft SW (2548 energy) with a moderate 12 mph offshore, still clean. The crowd factor is “sometimes” here, so you might have a few out, but with that quality, it’s worth it. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The run continues into Friday 11th September with a moderate 12 mph offshore and 7 ft SW swell in the morning, though the period drops to 8 seconds, making it a bit weak and short. The afternoon picks up with a solid 6 ft SW (1499 energy) and a longer 15-second period, still with offshore wind. That’s a solid session.
There’s a big gap of poor conditions from Saturday 12th morning through to Monday 14th, with onshore and cross-offshore winds ripping through 6 ft to 8 ft swell. The energy is high, but it’s not clean. Tuesday 15th September morning sees a return to cleaner conditions: 4 ft SW swell with a 15-second period and a moderate 12 mph offshore – good for a fun, mellow session. Then Wednesday 16th September afternoon is a real treat: glassy conditions, zero wind, and a 5 ft SW swell with a 15-second period. That’s a rare, clean, user-friendly wave.
So, the standout is Thursday 10th September morning – best for experts. For a more relaxed session, target Tuesday 15th morning or Wednesday 16th afternoon. The rest of the window is a mix of blown-out junk or tiny surf.
