The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory) over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you – the first two weeks are a write-off for any decent surf. We’ve got a long, dusty gap from the start of the forecast period right through until the 19th of September. It’s not that there’s no swell; there’s plenty of it, but it’s all getting hammered by strong, cross-onshore winds. The water temp is sitting at 56°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so nothing to get excited about there.
For the first week, from the 7th of September, we’re dealing with a series of stormy, messy swells. The energy is moderate to strong, with values like 286 (weak) building to a massive 4881 (very strong) on the 9th, but it’s all for nothing with that wind. The swell direction is mostly from the SW, which is the optimum direction for this spot, but a 25 mph cross-on wind just kills it. The swell height jumps over 8 ft on the 9th and 10th, making it expert-only if it were clean, but it’s not. It’s just a lumpy, choppy mess. The period is short (7-8 seconds) early on, so it’s weak, onshore slop. Then we get a few longer-period swells (15-21 seconds) from the 8th onwards, but they’re still crossed up by the wind. Even the 22nd of September has a 20-second period, but it’s still blown out.
The second week doesn’t get any better. Strong winds continue, with swell energy staying moderate to high. The 15th of September has 8 ft swell from the WSW, but it’s crossed up again. The 19th of September sees a 8 ft, 19-second swell with 8053 energy (very strong), but it’s windy and onshore, so it’s just a blown-out mess.
Now, after all that waiting, we finally get a window. The 20th of September morning is the standout. The wind swings to a light SE cross-off, and the swell is 5 ft from the SW with a 16-second period. The combined energy is 1018 (moderate), and the conditions are clean. It’s a solid, workable groundswell, and with that light wind, it’ll be glassy. This is the best on offer, and it’s worth the wait. The 21st of September also looks good, with a moderate offshore wind (ENE 12 mph) and a 6 ft WSW swell, giving clean waves. Then the 22nd of September morning is a real gem for experienced surfers – a 3 ft, 20-second groundswell with a light offshore breeze (E 3 mph). The energy is 1334 (moderate), and it’s clean. That long period will make it a bit straight at a beach break, but it’ll be peeling nicely. Just remember, this spot is a beach break, so it can get a bit tricky with long-period swells.
Crowds are listed as "sometimes" at Squeaky Beach, so for that Saturday the 20th, you might have a few others with the same idea, but it’s not going to be a circus.
So, to sum it up: the first 12 days are a bust. Stay home. The 20th, 21st, and 22nd of September are the go. The 20th morning is the pick of the bunch for the overall cleanest conditions and a decent swell.
Rusty.
