The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s comin’ for Squeaky Beach down at Wilsons Promontory. Lookin’ at the next 16 days, it’s a real mixed bag – a lot of blown-out, messy conditions with wild winds, makin’ it tough to get a clean session. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, so nothin’ wild there.

The first real chance to paddle out ain’t until Tuesday the 8th of September, and even then it’s marginal. Tuesday morning, the swell is 3ft from the SW with a 13-second period, winds are light offshore from the W at 6 mph, and the combined energy sits at 585 (moderate). It’s a sketchy one, but with light winds and a clean-ish look, it might be worth a cheeky dawn mission if you’re desperate. Tuesday afternoon holds similar vibes – 4ft from the SW, 17-second period (proper groundswell), combined energy 777 (moderate), offshore wind from the W at 9 mph. Still, it’s marginal, so don’t get your hopes too high.

Now, the standout in this whole window is Thursday the 10th of September. Thursday morning’s the pick: 7ft of SW swell with a 19-second period (very long period groundswell) – that’s a lot of energy, with combined energy of 4704 (strong). The wind is gentle cross-shore from the SSW at 9 mph, with only a slight cross-chop. This is a big, powerful swell, but at a beach break like Squeaky, that long period can make ’em a bit too straight and dumpy. Still, it’s the best on offer, and for experienced surfers, there’ll be some clean, pushy waves if you find the right bank. Crowds are possible here, so get there early.

After that, the surf drops off again. By Friday the 11th, it’s back to small, poor conditions. The weekend of the 12th and 13th sees tiny swell – 2ft to 3ft – with clean but weak waves. Sunday the 13th has light offshore winds and clean conditions, but it’s barely surfable, with combined energy as low as 156 (weak). Nothin’ to get excited about.

Then the second week gets messy. The 14th and 15th bring strong to near-gale winds, with 6ft to 7ft of short-period, wind-affected junk. On Monday the 14th, winds hit 25 mph from the NW, and the combined energy is 196 (weak) – that’s more kite-surfing territory than paddle-surfing. The 16th and 17th see a big pulse of 10ft swell from the WSW, with strong combined energy (5293 on Thursday afternoon), but it’s cross-off or cross-shore winds, and the conditions are marginal. It’s big, so only for experts, and the beach break setup might make it a mess.

Wrapping up the 18th and 19th, we’ve got dropping swell, 8ft down to 6ft, with cross-onshore winds again. The 19th is particularly poor with 16 mph cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions.

So, bottom line: the best chance is Thursday the 10th of September morning – that’s your window. Everything else is either blown out, too small, or a messy big swell. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but don’t hold your breath. Rusty out.
