The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory) over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim run. There’s nothing that’s shaping up as a true standout, and the wind is going to be a pain most of the time. Let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a decent-sized SW groundswell rolling in on Wednesday the 26th, pushing 4ft and a long 14-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 736, but the problem is the wind. It’s a cross-on 16 mph breeze, making it choppy and poor. The same story for the afternoon. That’s a no-go.
Thursday the 27th drops right off. Swell bottoms out to a weak 2ft, energy is low at 161, and the wind is onshore. Forget it.
Friday the 28th sees a pulse of longer-period groundswell, 3ft in the morning rising to 5ft in the afternoon. The period hits 18 seconds in the morning – that’s very long period energy. The combined energy climbs to 1139 (morning) and 1401 (afternoon), which is moderate. But again, the wind is cross-on and choppy. At 5ft with that long period, it’s getting a bit too much for beginners anyway, and the onshore wind kills it. The afternoon is more interesting for the kite crowd than paddle surfers.
Saturday the 29th has 4ft SW swell, but the wind is onshore and moderate. Poor conditions. Sunday the 30th is similar – small, onshore, poor. The week closes out with the same pattern.
Monday the 31st offers a glimmer. Swell holds at 4ft from the SW with a 15-second period, and the wind drops right off – just a light breeze in the morning, going to almost glassy in the afternoon with a 3 mph onshore wind. Combined energy is around 509-513. That’s marginal, and the tide might be an issue. The morning has a slight cross-on ripple, but the afternoon could clean up. It’s not a standout, but it’s the closest thing to a session this week.
The first week of September is rough. Tuesday the 1st has strong cross-onshore winds at 22 mph with small, weak swell. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd keep the wind up, with moderate energy but poor quality. Friday the 4th is more of the same: cross-on winds, choppy.
Saturday the 5th sees a bigger pulse – 6ft SW swell with a 17-second period, combined energy at a solid 1686. But the wind is cross-on again. At 6ft, it’s getting into intermediate territory and the onshore wind will make it a messy, lumpy affair. Not worth it.
Then the second week gets ugly. Sunday the 6th has strong winds (28 mph onshore) and messy 5-6ft windswell. By the afternoon the period drops to a horrible 7 seconds. Monday the 7th is even worse – near gale force winds, blown out, and that short period junk. Tuesday the 8th calms down a bit, but the damage is done.
There’s a gap of several days here with nothing recommended. The 9th and 10th of September are just more strong cross-onshore winds and lumpy, messy surf.
Water temps are about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. But honestly, for the whole 16-day window, there’s no session I’d get excited about. The constant onshore and cross-onshore winds are the villain. If you’re desperate, keep an eye on Monday the 31st afternoon for the cleanest, weakest chance. Otherwise, the forecasts might change, but right now, it’s a long, flat, windy wait.
Rusty.
