The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at the local surf picture.
Honestly, it’s a pretty barren stretch for Broadhaven South. The next couple of weeks are going to test your patience. For the vast majority of the next sixteen days, the conditions just aren’t coming together. We’re looking at a real dry spell starting now, with only a few fleeting moments that might get you excited, but mostly it’s a waiting game.
The first hint of something bigger that could actually be worth a look doesn't show up until Tuesday the 25th. Even then, it's not a guarantee. On that Tuesday morning, we’ll see a wind-swell pulse coming from the south at 5ft, with a short, snappy period of 6 seconds. The combined swell energy will be moderate (319), and the wind will be a clean, gentle offshore from the NNE. The problem is, the guidance tells us Broadhaven South needs the swell from the SW, and this south energy isn't quite right. It’ll be surfable but very ordinary – not the kind of day you’d call in sick for.
We then hit another quiet spell until Friday, the 28th of August. That Friday morning, we see a solid jump. A clean, fresh offshore from the WNW is blowing, and we’ve got a 7ft swell from the WSW. The period is a short 8 seconds, but the combined energy is strong at 464. Now, 7ft starts to get into the territory where it’s a bit much for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it could be a goer. The caveat here is that the swell is pretty short-period, so it might be a little lumpy and disorganised.
The one that really catches my eye is the very end of the forecast: Saturday afternoon, the 29th of August. The wind is going glassy – dead flat, from the SSW at just 3 mph. That’s a massive positive. We’ve got a 6ft swell, but the direction is from the east, which is totally wrong for this spot. It’s an odd one. The combined energy is very strong (408), but the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” With glassy conditions and a lot of energy, if that east direction wraps in at all, it could be a weird, unexpected treat. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
