The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s get into it. It’s a bit of a mixed bag here at Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory) over the next 16 days. The water temperature is sitting at 56°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The outlook starts with a long, quiet spell. From Wednesday the 19th right through to the morning of Tuesday the 25th, it’s a write-off for any decent surf. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore and often strong, and the waves are just messy. You’re looking at a solid week of nothing to get excited about – the energy is weak, and conditions are poor.
Finally, on Tuesday the 25th, things start to look up. The morning brings a small 3ft swell from the SW with a 13-second period, cross-off wind from the SE, and clean conditions. The combined energy is still low (272) but it’s surfable and the cleanest we’ve seen in a while. The afternoon is similar but smaller.
The real standout, though, comes on Saturday the 29th of August. We’ve got a solid 5ft SW swell rolling in with a 14-second period, a light cross-off breeze from the ENE in the morning, and clean conditions. The energy is strong at 1183. By the afternoon, the wind swings to E and goes offshore, with 5ft waves from the SW and 13-second periods. This is the pick of the whole forecast – clean, decent size, and offshore winds. Get out there.
Sunday the 30th is still good, with a 4ft swell in the morning and clean conditions, and a 5ft shorebreak in the afternoon with offshore wind. The last days of the month and into September see smaller SW swells, 2ft to 2ft, with long periods and glassy or offshore winds. It’s not big, but it’ll be clean and fun for a beginner or longboarder.
Heads up: the big swell on the 28th of August hits 7ft from the WSW with a long 18-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy – that one’s a miss. The 29th is the day to aim for.
