The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at what’s on offer for Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory) over the next 16 days.
To be straight with you, the outlook is a tough one. For the first couple of weeks, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the surf conditions are almost universally described as ‘poor’. There’s a swath of days from Friday the 17th right through to Saturday the 1st of August where the conditions just aren't making it easy for a decent paddle. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf quality, with the wind staying fresh and lumpy, and the wave comment is a constant ‘poor surf conditions’. It’s a grim run for the most part.
The only real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday the 19th of July. The morning sees a bit of a gap with glassy conditions and a light wind from the north at 3 mph. The swell is a small 2 ft from the SW at a period of 13 seconds, with a combined energy of 192 (weak). The afternoon is even better, with a dead calm, glassy surface. The swell drops to 2 ft at 12 seconds, energy 174. It’s tiny, but it’s your best shot. The water temp is around 57°, which is about normal for this time of year. For a beginner spot, this is as good as it gets in the window. Be aware though, the break is ‘fairly consistent’ but crowds are ‘sometimes’ an issue, so you might have some company.
After that, it’s a long wait. Tuesday the 21st of July afternoon sees a pulse of swell jump to 5 ft from the W with a period of 14 seconds, and the energy hits 1161 (moderate), but it’s a marginal surf forecast with a cross-onshore wind. That’s not a goer. The same goes for Friday the 24th of July, where the swell gets up to 8 ft from the WSW, but it’s getting hammered by a strong breeze. That’s a no-go for a paddle.
Honestly, take the glassy Sunday the 19th for what it is. It’s not going to be a world-class day, but it’s clean and small. The rest of the period is a closed-out mess of onshore wind, with the wind only getting stronger into the second week. The setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a traditional surfer, especially on the days with 18-34 mph winds.
The only real standout is Sunday the 19th of July. That’s the call.
