The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty here, and I've had a good look at what's on the cards for Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory). To be straight with you, it's a tough stretch. The swell shows up at times, but the wind gods are just not playing ball. For the whole 16-day outlook, every single session is marked with poor surf conditions. There’s not a single standout, not one morning or afternoon where I can say "go, get it."
We kick off on Saturday, 29th August with a solid 3.3ft to 4.3ft SW groundswell. The period is nice and long, around 14 to 15 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 456 to 686. Sounds good, right? But the wind is onshore, a steady 12 to 16 mph westerly. It’s just going to be choppy and blown out. That sets the theme for the next few days. Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st are the same story – consistent 2.6ft to 3.9ft SW swell with good periods, but always that onshore westerly wind messing it up.
As we move into September, the wind swings cross-onshore from the NW, which is a bit better but still not clean. Tuesday the 1st has a 3.0ft SW swell with a very long 16-second period, but it's lumpy. Wednesday the 2nd sees the swell pick up to 4.9ft, and the combined energy jumps right up to a strong 1657, but again, onshore wind. It’s a pattern that just won’t break.
From the 3rd of September onwards, the wind gets nasty. Thursday and Friday bring strong to fresh cross-onshore breezes, with swell heights fluctuating. Friday the 4th actually has a 7.5ft WSW swell on the morning, which is solid, but with a 28 mph onshore wind, that’s not a surf day – that’s a day to watch from the car park. The following week is more of the same. We get a few pulses of swell, like a 4.9ft SSE swell on the 7th, but it's got a short, weak period of just 7 seconds and messy cross-onshore wind.
Even by the second week, things don't settle down. The 12th of September offers a 4.3ft SW swell with a very long 19-second period and moderate combined energy of 1153, but it’s cross-onshore. This long-period groundswell would be magic on a point break, but here, with the wind and the beach setup, it just won't come together.
So, bottom line: Squeaky Beach is a no-go for the entire 16 days. Every single session is rated zero out of ten due to the poor surf conditions driven by the wind. Keep your board in the car and maybe check the forecast again next week. There's always a chance it cleans up, but right now, it's a blank run.
