The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a 16-day window on the cards, but I’ll be honest with you—it’s a tough stretch for Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory). The first week is pretty much a write-off, with strong onshore winds and lumpy, poor surf conditions. The water’s sitting at 56°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The earliest anything worth paddling out for shows up on Saturday the 12th of September. The morning has a 4ft swell from the southwest with a 16-second period, and the wind is nearly dead at 3 mph from the west—that’s glassy conditions. But the combined energy is only 547, so it’s weak, and the forecast is marginal. That afternoon stays clean with a slight cross-onshore breeze, but the swell drops to 3ft.
Monday the 14th of September sees a tiny 2ft southwest swell with a 12-second period in the afternoon, and the wind turns light cross-offshore, making it clean. But honestly, it’s small.
The real standout comes on Saturday the 19th of September. Saturday morning, the wind goes glassy from the south at 3 mph, with a 2ft southwest swell (14-second period). The energy is weak at 187, but it’s clean. Then Saturday afternoon, the wind shifts to light cross-offshore, the swell picks up to 3ft from the southwest with a 15-second period, and the combined energy is 290—still weak, but the conditions are clean. The forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s your best window.
Then Sunday the 20th of September afternoon is the real gem. The swell is 4ft from the southwest, with a very long 18-second period, and the wind is light cross-offshore from the east-southeast. The combined energy is 732 (moderate), and the forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” That’s the pick of the whole outlook—clean, with a bit of energy for a change.
Crowds are possible at Squeaky Beach, so keep that in mind. The break is fairly consistent and fairly exposed to the southwest swell, which is the optimum direction. For the rest of the period, it’s mostly poor or marginal, with a few windows of clean but small surf. The second week looks more promising, but it’s a grind to get there.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on that Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th.
Rusty.
