The Lowdown

G’day, it’s Rusty here. It’s been a quiet spell at Squeaky Beach with the early break feeling pretty average, but there’s a nice window of clean, rideable waves coming up later this week and into the next. The standout period looks to be Saturday 29 August and Sunday 30 August for the best combination of size and glassy conditions.

So let’s start with what’s on offer. Saturday morning 15 August you’re looking at 1.3m (4ft) SW swell with a 15-second period, pretty long period which usually means better shaped waves and longer gaps between sets, making paddling out easier. Combined energy is moderate at 736, but the wind is a light cross from the south at 10 km/h (6 mph) so it’s not clean. Water temp is 13° which is about normal for this time of year, just 0.8° off average. The forecast says marginal – definitely not the pick of the window.

Sunday 16 August shapes up much better. Morning session sees a 0.9m (3ft) SW swell, 14-second period, wind from the NE at just 5 km/h (3 mph) – that’s glassy. Combined energy is moderate at 341. Sunday afternoon is even cleaner with ENE offshore wind at 10 km/h (6 mph). This is the start of a few days of decent but small surf. Monday 17 August stays small at 0.8m to 0.9m (3ft to 3ft) SW, with offshore breezes, but the period is 14 to 17 seconds which is nice. Energy builds to 400 Monday afternoon. Tuesday 18 August drops off further to 0.7m and 0.8m (2ft to 3ft) with offshore winds again, but the energy is moderate and the waves are ordinary.

Wednesday 19 August is tiny – 0.5m (2ft) SW swell, cross-off wind, combined energy only 96 – very weak. Thursday 20 August goes downhill fast. Strong WSW wind at 30 km/h (19 mph), lumpy cross-on conditions with a 0.4m to 1.3m (1ft to 4ft) WNW swell of only 6 seconds – poor surf. That kicks off a rough stretch.

Friday 21 August is still poor with cross-on winds and messy waves. The energy climbs to 424 but it’s all choppy. Saturday 22 August gets wild: 2.5m to 3.0m (8ft to 10ft) WSW swell, period 10 to 13 seconds, but cross-on near gale winds at 45 to 50 km/h (28 to 31 mph). Combined energy is 1556 and then 2596 – strong stuff – but blown out. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Sunday 23 August is similar: 2.5m (8ft) WSW swell, 14 to 16 seconds, cross-on winds 35 to 40 km/h (22 to 25 mph), energy 4122 – very strong, but messy.

Monday 24 August stays big with 2.2m to 2.4m (7ft to 8ft) SW swell, period up to 15 seconds, energy 3682, but cross-on SSW wind at 30 to 40 km/h (19 to 25 mph) – still poor. Tuesday 25 August drops a bit to 1.6m (5ft) SW but cross-on wind and choppy energy of 1876 – still marginal at best.

Wednesday 26 August is poor again with small 0.8m to 0.9m (3ft to 3ft) cross-on slop. Then look out for Thursday 27 August – beautiful conditions: 0.5m (2ft) SW swell in the morning with a light NE breeze, and by afternoon it’s glassy with only 0.4m (1ft) swell but a very long 21-second period, combined energy 296. That’s a real clean, classic glass-off.

Now for the real highlights. Friday 28 August morning has a 0.9m (3ft) SW swell at 18 seconds, light cross-on breeze, but the afternoon is glassy with WSW wind at 5 km/h (3 mph), 0.9m (3ft) SW swell, 16 seconds, energy 631 – that’s clean and fun. But Saturday 29 August is the standout. Morning is glassy with ENE wind at 5 km/h (3 mph), 0.7m (2ft) SW swell, 14-second period, energy 280. Saturday afternoon gets even better: 1.1m (4ft) SW swell, 14-second period, offshore east wind at 10 km/h (6 mph), energy 612 – clean, fun little waves. Sunday 30 August morning is good too with a 0.8m (3ft) SE swell, 10-second period, light offshore breeze, then Sunday afternoon offers a glassy 0.4m (1ft) SW swell with a 20-second period, offshore ENE wind, energy 300.

Overall, the best bet is Saturday 29 August afternoon (1.1m/4ft SW, offshore, glassy) and Friday 28 August afternoon (0.9m/3ft SW, glassy). The big, windy days from 22 to 25 August are only for experienced crew or kite folk. For beginners, stick to the smaller glassy windows.

Rusty.
