The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at this stretch ahead for Squeaky Beach.
Straight up, this isn't a pretty picture for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a long, ugly run of weather to sit through before we see any kind of window. From Wednesday the 29th of July right through until the morning of Saturday the 1st of August, it’s a write-off – strong winds, messy surf, and mostly useless conditions. You’re looking at nearly three days of pure frustration before things finally calm down.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Saturday afternoon, the 1st of August. The swell drops right back to a tiny 3ft out of the southwest, with a long 17-second period, but the wind goes glassy. That’s the magic word. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so it’ll be a bit nippy, but glassy conditions on a 3ft southwest groundswell will give you a clean little wave. The combined energy is low at 364, so it’s not going to have any punch, but it’ll be rideable and tidy. The morning is a bit cleaner with a light cross-off, but that glassy afternoon is the standout.
Sunday the 2nd of August, the wind gets nasty again – a fresh cross-on from the northwest at 19 mph, and the swell is a messy 3ft to 4ft. That’s a no-go. Monday the 3rd of August is worse, with strong onshore winds and a 7ft windswell that has a short, choppy period of just 7 to 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps up to 930 and 1071, but it’s all raw, ugly power. This setup at Squeaky Beach, being a beach break, is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s just too blown out.
The next real chance doesn’t come until Saturday the 8th of August. Saturday morning, we get a clean 3ft southwest swell with a light offshore breeze from the east at just 3 mph. The combined energy is a modest 376, but with offshore wind and a 15-second period, the waves will have some shape. The afternoon holds clean too, with a light cross-off. That’s your second-best option in this whole window, but it’s a long way off.
The rest of the time is a mix of strong winds, lumpy conditions, and very small, weak swells. There’s a marginal moment on Wednesday the 12th of August afternoon with a 6ft swell from the west-southwest, but it’s got a cross-shore wind and a middling period, so it’s a bit of a gamble.
Bottom line: if you’ve got the patience, the glassy Saturday afternoon on the 1st of August is the pick of the bunch. The following Saturday morning, the 8th of August, is a solid backup. Everything else is a hard pass. The ocean is throwing a tantrum most of the time, so pick your window carefully.
Rusty.
