The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ down the line for Broadhaven South.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you—this forecast is a real dry spell. For the next week and a half, it’s flat as a pancake. We’re talkin’ tiny scraps of swell, mostly around 0.3ft, barely a ripple. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sittin' at 64°, but that’s about the only highlight. The combined swell energy is laughable, with values from 15 down to 7 (weak energy). It’s just not worth paddlin’ out for.
Now, there’s a flicker of life on Sunday the 26th of July. The morning sees a bump up to 3ft from the west, with a short period of 6 seconds and energy hitting 78 (moderate wave energy). The wind is a moderate breeze from the NNW, which is cross-offshore. It’s not terrible, but it’s still nothin’ special. By Monday the 27th of July, the morning shows a similar 3ft west swell, period of 6 seconds, energy at 76 (moderate wave energy), with a fresh offshore breeze from the NW. That’s your best window right there. It’s clean, but with that short period, it’ll be a bit lumpy and won’t have much push.
The spot itself, Broadhaven South, is a sheltered, inconsistent break that’s rated for intermediates. It needs a SW swell to really work, but we’re seein’ a lot of west swell comin’ through. The best period is Monday morning, but honestly, it’s not a standout. It’s a case of "if you’re desperate for a paddle." The crowds are often there, but with conditions this poor, you’ll likely have it to yourself.
After that little pulse, it fades right back to tiny waves and weak energy for the rest of the second week. There’s a small bump of 3ft from the west on Sunday the 2nd of August, but it’s got light rain and a moderate breeze, so it’s not really a goer.
So, to sum it up: the best on offer is Monday the 27th of July morning. It’s not big, it’s not perfect, but it’s the only window with a clean offshore wind and some waist-high swell. For the rest of us, leave the board in the car and grab a coffee.
Rusty.
