The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again for the imperial version. Let’s break it down for Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory).
This is a tough stretch, mates. There’s a massive gap at the start with nothing worth surfing from Thursday the 3rd all the way through to around Wednesday the 11th. That’s over a week of straight up poor conditions. Strong winds out of the W, WNW, and WSW at 25 mph or more just keep the surface trashed. The swell’s there—sometimes a solid 8ft—but it’s all onshore and ugly. Water temp is about 56°F, right around average for the season, so it’s cold but not unusual.
The first real chance comes on Saturday the 12th. The morning and afternoon both show clean, glassy conditions with light offshore breezes. The swell is small though, only about 3ft from the SW with a nice long 15-16 second period. That’s groundswell, but it’s weak, with combined energy reading 326 and 278. It’s clean and perfect for a beginner or a longboard, but don’t expect much power.
Then on Thursday the 17th afternoon, things perk up a bit. We get a calm, glassy window with zero wind. The swell bumps up to about 4ft from the SW with a 12-second period. The combined energy hits 631, which is moderate. That’ll give you some fun, clean waves without the hassle of wind chop. It’s the most promising day of the whole forecast.
Other than those two windows, it’s a bleak outlook. The rest is all onshore wind, choppy seas, and poor surf quality through to the end of the 18th.
Keep your gear handy for those two clean days, but don’t hold your breath for the rest.
