The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming up for Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory).
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next week and a bit is looking pretty ordinary. The wind is just not playing ball, and the swell is coming in with a lot of energy, but it’s gonna be messy. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We’ve got a solid run of days from Monday the 31st of August right through to the 8th of September where the surf is just poor. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, from the west and northwest, and it’s fresh to strong. There’s plenty of swell in the water, with moderate to strong wave energy, but it’s all blown out and lumpy. The swell is coming from the southwest and west-southwest, which is the optimum direction for this spot, but without clean wind, it’s just a mess. The best of this early period might be Wednesday the 2nd of September, with a 5ft swell from the WSW and a 15-second period, but the onshore wind is just too strong. It’s a real shame.
Thursday the 3rd sees a big jump in size, with 8ft swell, but it’s a short period (9-10 seconds) and a strong breeze. That’s expert territory, and even then, it’s blown out. Friday the 4th is similar, with 7ft swell and cross-onshore winds. The weekend of the 5th and 6th is the same story – near gale-force winds on Saturday, with 10ft swell. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one, to be honest.
Then, finally, we get a little glimmer of hope. On Friday the 11th of September, things look way better. The morning has a 5ft swell from the SW with a long 19-second period, and the wind is glassy. That’s clean, lined-up waves for experienced surfers. The combined energy is strong, so there’s plenty of push. The afternoon holds up too, with a 5ft swell and a light cross-offshore breeze from the SE, keeping it clean. That’s your standout session for the whole outlook.
The following Monday the 14th of September also has potential. The afternoon looks glassy again, with a 8ft swell from the WSW and a 16-second period. That’s a solid size, so again, this is for experienced surfers, but the conditions should be excellent.
After that, Tuesday the 15th of September sees the wind swing back onshore, so it’s back to the chop.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off for clean surf. The real standout is Friday the 11th of September, with glassy conditions and a solid, long-period SW swell. The Monday the 14th afternoon is also a good bet. Plan for those days, and you’ll get some.
Rusty.
