The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here, looking at the long run for Squeaky Beach. It’s a bit of a rollercoaster, with a nasty stretch of weather to get through, but there are some clean windows if you’re keen.
The water is sitting around 56°, which is pretty standard for this time of year.
First up, this Saturday morning, August 8th. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the SW, with a long 16-second period, and a light cross-off breeze from the NNE at 10 km/h. The combined energy is moderate (430). It’s clean and surfable, a good pick for a beginner session. The afternoon holds with a 3ft SW swell and an offshore breeze.
Sunday the 9th starts with light rain and a 2ft SW swell, but the wind is offshore from the ENE, so it’s still clean and small.
From Monday the 10th to Tuesday the 11th, it gets blown out. Strong onshore winds, messy, lumpy conditions. By Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th, the swell is over 8ft and the wind is howling. The combined energy on Thursday morning hits 3204, which is strong. This is big, ugly, and dangerous. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The real standout comes on Friday, August 21st. The morning is glassy, with a 6ft SW swell at a very long 16-second period. The wind is virtually nothing. This is groundswell, clean and powerful, with a combined energy of 1651. This is the best on offer – for experienced surfers only at that size. It’s a long way out, but it’s promising.
The weekend of the 22nd and 23rd drops back to small, clean conditions in the 3ft to 3ft range with offshore winds.
So, there’s a rough, blown-out patch in the middle, but the bookends of the run have some clean, fun waves. Keep an eye on that Friday the 21st.
Rusty.
