The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory).
The water is sitting at 57°, which is about average for the time of year. But the surf has been a disaster. From Monday the 27th of July through the end of the month, the wind is just blowing everything out. Strong cross-onshore winds, messy, lumpy conditions, and the swell is either too small or too junky. Don’t bother. The combined energy is weak to moderate (199), and the swell is short period, all cross-on junk. It’s a rough stretch.
We finally get a glimmer on the 1st of August. Saturday afternoon sees a tiny 1ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, and the wind goes cross-offshore from the ESE at just 3 mph. It’s clean, but it’s tiny. You’ll need a longboard. The energy is still weak (221). Sunday the 2nd is a bit better: a 17-second period SW groundswell at 3ft in the morning, but the wind is cross-shore. By the afternoon, the wind goes cross-offshore from the SE at 3 mph, and the waves are 3ft from the SW with a 16-second period. It’s clean, and the energy is moderate (488). It’s surfable, but nothing special.
Then the real standouts come. Friday the 7th of August is the highlight of the entire forecast. The swell is 4ft from the SW, with a fantastic 19-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, and it’s coming from the best direction. The wind is offshore from the E all day, light to moderate (9 mph in the morning, 12 mph in the afternoon). The combined energy is strong (959 in the morning, 906 in the afternoon). This is going to be clean, powerful, and have some real punch. Because it’s a long-period swell, it will hold up well here, and the offshore wind will make it glassy. Crowds are possible, so get in early. This is the one to circle.
The week after that has some promise. Sunday the 9th of August afternoon sees a 4ft WSW groundswell with a 19-second period and light cross-offshore wind from the ESE at 6 mph. The energy is strong (970). That’s another very good option. Monday the 10th of August morning has a 5ft WSW swell with a 16-second period, but the wind is cross-shore from the NNW, so it’s a bit more marginal. The energy is strong (1708), but the wind is a spoiler. After that, the wind turns back onshore and the quality drops off again through the 11th.
So, the long and short of it: the first week is a total washout. The second week, focus on Friday 7th August as the absolute standout. Sunday the 9th afternoon is also a beauty. The rest is a gamble.
Rusty.
