The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Broadhaven South. To be honest, it’s a pretty bleak stretch of the calendar. We’ve got a solid run of days with hardly anything to get excited about. The first sign of any surf worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until the 20th of August, so that’s a massive gap of over a week with nothing but flat, weak, or messy conditions. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this kind of blank run is more normal than you’d hope.
The one bright spot in this whole 16-day window is the morning of the 20th of August. The swell has finally built to a waist-high 5 ft, coming out of the WSW. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate (279), so there’s a bit of push behind it. The wind is offshore from the NW, blowing at a gentle 9 mph, which means the surface will be clean. It’s still not going to be a classic, and it's a bit small for the sheltered setup here, but it's the only time the score says "surfable waves." The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 64°, which is nice.
Other than that, there’s a pulse on the 22nd of August with a bigger 7 ft to 8 ft swell from the WSW, and the combined energy is strong (429 to 608). But the wind is cross-off, and the forecast is only calling it marginal or poor. That size is pushing into expert territory at 8 ft, and with a short period, it’s going to be a bit of a handful and not the kind of clean wave you’d hope for.
So, there’s your one real chance: the 20th of August morning. It’s not much, but it’s the only show in town. The rest of the time, you’re better off finding something else to do.
