The Lowdown

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory) for the next 16 days. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough start. The first few days are a write-off, but there’s a proper little window of goodness if you’ve got the patience.

The overall pattern is a long, grotty run of onshore wind and messy swell, followed by a sweet little spell of clean, glassy conditions in early August. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until Wednesday, 29 July, but even then it’s only marginal. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.

From Friday the 24th right through to Monday the 28th, it’s all onshore wind and poor surf. We’ve got a solid south-west groundswell pumping in on the 24th, with wave heights around 8ft, but with a 22-28 mph wind blowing straight onto it, it’s just a washing machine. There’s a ton of energy behind it (3478 combined energy) but it’s useless for surfing. The weekend of the 26th has the swell dropping off, but still blown out. Tuesday the 28th sees a jump in size again, but with strong cross-onshore winds, it’s still messy.

We finally get a tiny window on Wednesday the 29th. The morning has a 6ft south-west swell, period of 14 seconds, and a gentle cross-onshore breeze. It’s still a bit choppy and only marginal. The afternoon turns clear, with a lighter wind, but the surf gets a score of 0. Not worth paddling out for.

Then we hit a big gap. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st are tiny and weak. Saturday the 1st of August has a bit more size on the afternoon, with a 4ft south-west swell from a very long 18-second period – that’s a proper groundswell. But it’s still cross-onshore, so it’s only marginal. The energy is strong (1106) but the wind is just spoiling it.

Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd are back to moderate wind and poor conditions, with the swell pumping up to 7ft on Monday. There’s a lot of energy in the water (2096), but it’s messy.

Now, here’s the standout. Tuesday the 4th of August is the one to circle. The morning shows a 3ft south-west swell, period of 13 seconds, and the wind goes light and variable, turning cross-offshore. The afternoon is even better: a clean 4ft south-west swell with a 14-second period, and light offshore wind from the east at 6 mph. This is clean, lined-up surf. The combined energy (521) is moderate, but the quality will be there. It’s a beginner-friendly size, but it’ll be a bit more powerful than it looks thanks to the period. The break is fairly consistent, but crowds are possible here, so get there early.

And then Wednesday the 5th of August is the absolute best of the run. The morning is glassy – dead flat wind, 3ft south-west swell, with a 14-second period. This is as clean as it gets. The afternoon sees the swell bump up to 4ft, period stretching to 17 seconds, and a light offshore breeze. The surf forecast is very good, and the energy is moderate (671). This is a true window of perfection. The following Thursday the 6th is also very good, with clean conditions and a 4ft south-west swell.

After that, the surf starts to fade and the wind turns on Friday the 7th, and it’s all downhill from there. So, don’t waste your energy on the first ten days. Wait for that Tuesday to Thursday block in early August, and you’ll be rewarded.

Rusty.
