The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here. Hope you’ve got your patience hat on, because the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off for a proper paddle at Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory). We’ve got a classic southern ocean groundswell pulse on the way, but it’s going to be completely blown out by some nasty onshore winds, so it’s mostly a waiting game. The water’s sitting at 56°F, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so that’s a small mercy.

The first real chance to wet a line doesn’t come until Saturday the 16th of August. The morning is looking mint – glassy offshore winds from the ESE at just 3 mph, with a clean 3 ft SW groundswell. The wave energy is moderate (401), and with that long period, it’ll have some real push. This is your standout session for the whole outlook. The Saturday afternoon stays clean with a gentle offshore breeze and 3 ft SW swell – a solid, fun day out.

Sunday the 17th keeps the good run going with a clean 3 ft SW swell in the morning and a gentle offshore in the afternoon. Then on Tuesday the 18th of August, we get a glassy morning – no wind at all – with a nice 3 ft SW groundswell. That’s a rare treat, and the waves will be smooth as silk. The 19th of August also has a glassy start with 3 ft SW swell.

Now, things get a bit more interesting for the following week. Friday the 21st of August is the real standout of the entire forecast. We’re looking at a solid 5 ft SW groundswell – that’s a proper size, not too big for most, but it’ll have some punch. The combined energy is a strong 1255, and you’ve got clean, gentle offshore winds from the east all day. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s a week and a half away, so don’t book your flights yet, but the signs are promising.

For the rest of that second week, there’s a mix of smaller clean days and a bit of a blow-up on the Sunday the 23rd with onshore winds, but the 21st of August is the clear winner here. The early part of the outlook is a tough slog – a lot of onshore wind and rain, with some big but messy swell. It’s a classic case of “wait for the window,” and that window is the weekend of the 16th and the Friday of the 21st.

Stay frothy, but wait for the right moment.
Rusty.
