The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Squeaky Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week is a bit of a write-off. We've got a solid run of onshore winds and sloppy conditions that just won't clean up. Thursday the 30th through to the 6th of August is mostly a no-go – the wind is either on it or cross-on, and the wave quality is poor. You'll be staring at a lot of choppy, lumpy water. The water temp here is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
The real standout, and the one you want to circle on your calendar, is Friday the 7th of August. That morning, we get a clean 6 ft SW groundswell (combined energy of 1685) with a period of 17 seconds, firing in on a gentle offshore breeze from the ENE. That's proper, powerful energy – but it's a long period groundswell, so it might be a bit too straight for a beach break. Still, for experienced surfers, this is the pick of the bunch. The afternoon holds at 5 ft with the same offshore wind, staying clean.
The following week offers a couple of promising windows. Monday the 10th of August morning has a clean 3 ft WSW swell with a 17-second period and light winds (combined energy of 908). That's a solid, well-shaped wave. Thursday the 13th of August also looks good – both morning and afternoon serve up clean 4 ft to 4 ft SW groundswell (period of 18 seconds, combined energy around 900) with light cross-offshore breezes. That's glassy, clean surf. The morning of the 14th has a bigger 5 ft SW swell (combined energy of 2047) but the wind is cross-shore, so it's a bit more marginal.
For the beginners, anything over 5 ft is getting big, so that Friday the 7th is for the crew who know what they're doing. The smaller, cleaner days on the 13th are better for everyone. Given the local winds, Squeaky Beach can get a bit crowded, so keep an eye out.
Rusty.
