The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here with the imperial rundown. Honestly, Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory) is the only show in town, and it’s a tough one. Right now, Wednesday 9th September, we’ve got a 8ft SW swell with a 21 second period—that’s a deep, long-period groundswell cranking with strong energy (4908), but the 35 km/h SSW cross-on wind has it blown out and lumpy. Not a wave you want to be out in. Thursday stays ugly: 6ft SW at 17 seconds, moderate cross-onshore wind, still poor. Friday morning the wind goes offshore gentle, swell drops to 4ft SW (15 sec, 573 energy), but the rating’s still poor—just too small and weak.
Saturday 12th September morning is the first glimmer: 4ft SW at 16 seconds, light WNW offshore at 10 km/h, combined energy at 706 (moderate). The wave comment says marginal, so you might find a clean little knee-high wave if you’re keen, but it’s inconsistent. Afternoon fades.
We then hit a dry patch from Sunday 13th through Monday 14th—nothing worth mentioning. Tuesday 15th brings a 6ft SW (13 sec, energy 1075), but the cross-onshore wind kills it again. Wednesday 16th morning is slightly better with light WNW winds and 5ft SW (14 sec), but still marginal.
The one standout that’s worth the wait is Monday 21st September afternoon. The wind turns offshore from the ESE at 15 km/h, swell is a clean 4ft SW (12 sec, 485 energy), and the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” Tuesday 22nd afternoon is much the same—4ft SW (16 sec), light ENE offshore, clean. These two afternoons are your golden window: small but glassy, with long-period SW groundswell offering some lines on the beach break. Crowds are only sometimes an issue here, so it should be quiet.
Water temp is 56°F, right about average for this time of year, so a full wetsuit is a must.
Wednesday 23rd September, the swell jumps to 8ft SW (10 sec period) with energy at 1292, but cross-shore winds and marginal quality—that’s big, short-period, lumpy stuff better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, to sum it up: the first 12 days are mostly a bust, with only tiny windows of hope. The real deal is Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd afternoons. Get out there when it’s clean. After that, it’s back to messy. Keep your fingers crossed.
Rusty.
