Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Squeaky Beach (Wilsons Promontory) over the next couple of weeks.

Straight up, it’s a mixed bag with a whole lot of ordinary to get through before we see a few windows of clean fun. The water’s sitting at 58° which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus.

The first real chance to wet a line is Friday afternoon, July 10th. The swell is a modest 3 ft from the SW, but it’s packing a nice long 16-second period—proper groundswell energy. The wind goes glassy, so the surface will be like a mirror. The combined energy is weak (358), but for a small wave setup, it’ll be clean and cruisy. Perfect for a beginner or anyone wanting a peaceful paddle.

Saturday morning, July 11th drops off to 2 ft SW with a 15-second period, and a cross-off breeze keeps it clean. The energy is even weaker (186), so it’s small and slow. Still, it’s surfable for a longboard.

Then we hit a massive gap. From Saturday afternoon, July 11th right through to Wednesday, July 15th, conditions are blown out or average at best. Winds are strong onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell gets messy. On Sunday, July 12th, the swell jumps to 8 ft - 10 ft (1979 to 2135 energy), but it’s a near-gale cross-onshore mess. That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing. The rest of that week is a write-off.

Now, the standouts come in the second week. The best of the whole forecast is Thursday afternoon, July 16th. We’ve got 3 ft SW at 14 seconds, glassy off the land, and the combined energy is low (335) but the conditions are pristine. It’s a long wait, but that afternoon will be worth it for a clean, uncrowded session.

Friday afternoon, July 17th is another gem: 3 ft SW at 16 seconds, dead calm, zero wind, glassy. The energy is weak (411), but for a small wave, it’ll be silky smooth.

Saturday, July 18th keeps the run going: 3 ft SW at 14 seconds, clean in the morning with a cross-off, then glassy again in the afternoon (268 energy). It’s small but consistent and clean.

After that, the swell drops right off into the 2 ft - 2 ft range from Sunday, July 19th onward, with onshore winds returning. The final days of the forecast are pretty flat and messy, so no real standouts after that.

So, to sum it up: the first week is mostly a dud, but the afternoon of July 16th and July 17th are your best bets for clean, glassy, small-wave fun. Don’t get your hopes up for anything big, but the quality will be there.

Rusty.
