The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Broadhaven South. This one’s a mixed bag, and honestly, the wind is going to be our biggest enemy for most of the run.
The one bright spot is Wednesday, September 9th, in the morning. We’re looking at a 4ft swell from the west, with a sweet, clean offshore breeze out of the northwest. The water temp is normal for this time of year. The energy is moderate (228), and those offshore conditions will clean it up nicely. This is your best bet. Expect company in the water, this spot gets busy.
Friday, September 11th, also has some potential. Both morning and afternoon show a 5ft west-southwest swell with a clean offshore wind. The energy is moderate to strong (377 and 262). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Then the wheels fall off. From Saturday, September 12th, all the way through to Wednesday, September 23rd, it’s a long stretch of poor conditions. The wind is either onshore, cross-shore, or way too strong, and the swell is a mess. There are a few days with light winds, like the 13th and 14th, but the swell is tiny and weak. Not worth the effort.
Towards the very end, on the 19th and 20th, we get a bit of glassy and light wind, but the swell is barely a ripple. You'll be lucky to find a knee-high wave. It’s a longboard or a swim session at best.
So, the call is clear: hit it on Wednesday the 9th. After that, we’re looking at a two-week stretch of nothing. It’s a quiet spell for the area, but that’s just the way it can be. Keep an eye on the forecast, though.
Rusty.
