The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory) has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

It’s a bit of a slow start, to be honest. There’s been a solid SW groundswell running, but the wind’s been howling from the W at 15 mph on Friday afternoon, making it a messy, poor surf day. That 5 ft swell with a long 16-second period has all the right ingredients, but with that onshore wind, it’s just a chop fest. The water temp is sitting at 56°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.

We get a bit of hope on Saturday morning, the 15th. The swell drops to 5 ft from the SW, still that lovely long period of 15 seconds, and the wind goes light from the SW. It’s a cross-on wind, but it’s light, so there’s a chance of some clean-up. The combined energy is still moderate (906). By Saturday afternoon, the wind shifts to a light cross-off from the SSE, and the waves clean up nicely. That’s a good session for a beginner-friendly spot like this, with waves around 4 ft and clean faces.

Sunday the 16th looks like a ripper. Clear skies, wind from the ENE at 6-9 mph, and it’s offshore. The swell is a bit smaller at 3 ft, but it’s clean and glassy. That’s the kind of day you paddle out for a long, easy session. The energy is low (341), but the quality is there.

The rest of the first week drops off. Monday the 17th has some small, clean waves, but they’re only 3 ft to 3 ft. It’s surfable, but nothing to get excited about. From Tuesday the 18th through to Friday the 22nd, the swell fades to a dribble, often under 2 ft, and the wind gets messy. You’ll be sitting on your board more than riding.

Now, here’s the standout. Mark your calendars for Monday the 24th of August. The forecast shows a solid 8 ft SW groundswell rolling in early, with a 13-second period. The wind is glassy from the NW in the morning. That’s a big, clean swell for Squeaky Beach. The combined energy is very strong (2028), so there’s plenty of power. This is for experienced surfers only – 8 ft is too big for a beginner. The wave quality is rated excellent. Monday afternoon stays clean with a 7 ft swell and a light cross-off breeze. This is the best on offer, no question.

After that, Tuesday the 25th still has a very good 4 ft swell with clean conditions, but it’s a step down. The rest of the week from the 26th onward looks poor again, with strong onshore winds and small, choppy waves. The long-range stuff after the 24th is promising but less certain.

So, the best window is that Monday the 24th through Tuesday the 25th. Real quality. Get out there if you can handle it.

Rusty.
