The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Broadhaven South over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough run. The forecast is looking pretty bleak for any decent waves. We're looking at a long stretch of nearly nothing, and even when the swell tries to show up, the conditions are a mess. For the first week, from Tuesday the 28th right through to Monday the 3rd of August, it's flat. We're talking tiny little 0.3ft to 2ft slop, with a combined energy reading of just 3 to 40 (weak) – it's not even worth paddling out for. The wind is all over the shop, and while we get some clean windows, there’s just no power behind it.
The first real pulse of energy arrives on Tuesday the 4th of August. The swell bumps up to 5ft to 6ft from the SW, with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 318-321 (moderate), so there's some grunt, but it's messy. The wind is chopping it up with a cross and cross-off breeze, and the surf quality is poor. This is close to a 6ft mark, so it's getting a bit spicy for beginners, and the short period means it'll be a bit of a washing machine. Honestly, with the wind and the chop, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The window clears up on Wednesday the 5th of August. The swell drops to 3ft to 4ft from the SW, still with a short period (7 seconds), but the wind swings offshore from the NW. The combined energy is still moderate (114-167). That offshore wind will clean it up, but the swell is dropping fast, and it's still a short-period windswell. It'll be rideable for the crew on logs or mid-lengths, but it's a far cry from a standout.
The rest of the second week, from Thursday the 6th through to Wednesday the 12th, is a real letdown. The swell fades back to 0.3ft to 3ft, and while we get glassy conditions on Wednesday the 12th afternoon, there's no wave to surf. The consistent west-northwest winds keep it clean, but the energy is gone (combined energy readings of 12 to 134). The one day that looks promising, Monday the 10th of August, sees a 4ft to 4ft SW swell, but it's pinned under a brutal 25 mph WSW wind. That's a hard pass for a paddle – it's a full-on kite session.
So, what's the best on offer? It's a toss-up between the clean but fading Wednesday the 5th, and maybe the glassy flatness on the 12th. I'd say Wednesday the 5th of August is the pick of a very poor bunch. The offshore wind will make it feel better than it is, and you'll get some clean, weak shoulders. But honestly, don't hold your breath. This is a blank run that's pretty normal for the area when the stars don't align. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Rusty.
