The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll lay it out straight. Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory) is looking like a long, slow grind before we get one proper window of perfection. The water’s about 56°F, which is standard for this time of year.
The first week is basically a wash. Monday starts with rain and a 22 mph cross-onshore wind tearing up a 5ft swell—total junk. That wind and mess hangs on all the way through Wednesday, when the swell actually gets to a beefy 8ft, but that same 22 mph cross-onshore wind just pulverizes it. The wave energy is massive (3921). It’s ugly. Thursday cleans up a hair but is still choppy. Friday and the weekend see the swell die off and the wind stays bad. Tuesday the 15th offers a 6ft swell (638 energy) with a light cross-onshore breeze, but it’s nothing to write home about. You’re looking at more than a week of no real options.
Now, for the long-range. On Thursday the 17th of September, in the afternoon, the wind finally turns offshore from the ESE at 6 mph. It’s a small 4ft south-west groundswell with a clean 15-second period. The energy is moderate (515). It’s small, but it will be clean.
The true standout is Tuesday the 22nd of September. You get a gentle 9 mph cross-offshore breeze in the morning with a solid 5ft south-west groundswell pumping in at a 15-second period (1175 energy). Then, in the afternoon? Glass. Dead calm. East-northeast wind at 3 mph. That 5ft swell, with a 16-second period, is going to be absolutely perfect. No crowds mentioned—you might have the place to yourself. That’s the session to wait for.
Look, the first ten days are a hard pass. But that Tuesday the 22nd is worth the wait.
Rusty.
