The Lowdown

Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s on the menu for Squeaky Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a rough start and a long, frustrating stretch ahead. There’s barely a decent wave in the forecast for most of this period. We’re looking at a run of mostly poor surf conditions, with strong or gusty winds, messy onshores, and a lot of chop. You’ll be waiting a while before anything even remotely worth paddling out for shows up.

The one real standout, the only one I’d bother pointing my board at, is Tuesday afternoon, August 25th. That’s the day. We get a clean 3ft of SW swell rolling in, with a long period of 13 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy, bringing some shape and push. The wind goes glassy, just a whisper from the WSW, so the surface will be smooth as butter. Combined swell energy is moderate at 337, so there’s enough there for a fun session on a beginner-friendly wave. Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory) is fairly exposed to the SW, so it’ll pick that up nicely. Water temp is sitting at 56°, which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing wild there. If you can get out that afternoon, that’s your window.

Before that, there’s nothing. Sunday the 23rd has some 4ft swell but the wind is onshore and it’s marginal. Monday the 24th is a write-off with cross-shore winds and poor surf. Tuesday morning the 25th is tiny and only ordinary.

After that Tuesday window, it goes ugly again. From Wednesday the 26th right through to Monday, September 7th, it’s a long, bleak run of onshores, strong winds, and poor surf. You’ll see some big swell numbers – up to 8ft on Saturday, September 5th – but it’s coming with howling onshore gales (34-43 mph) and rain squalls. That’s not surfable; that’s a washing machine. The combined energy hits 2663 on the Saturday afternoon, which is very strong, but it’s all blown-out junk. That kind of setup at a beach break like this is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Short period on the 3rd of September (6 seconds) is a total dud.

And the bad news keeps coming into the second week. September 1st has a 5ft swell but cross-on winds. September 4th and 5th are completely hammered. By September 7th, we’ve got near-gale force winds and only 2ft of messy swell. There are no other standouts – just a long, blank, frustrating run with nothing worth getting wet for.

So, bottom line: mark your calendar for Tuesday afternoon, August 25th. It’s the one clean, glassy, fun session in a sea of poor conditions. Don’t hold your breath for anything else.

Rusty.
