Alright, look. I gotta be straight with you – we are looking at a long, quiet stretch ahead. This isn't one of those outlooks where I get to pick a standout. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell. For Broadhaven South, it's the same story day after day: tiny, weak swell. There’s nothing even close to rideable. The very first record on Sunday, the 5th of July, shows a tiny 2 ft swell from the west, but it's paired with "poor surf conditions" and a combined wave energy of only 81 – that’s barely a ripple. And it doesn't get any better from there.
For the next two weeks, we see the same pattern. The swell heights are stuck between 0.3 ft and 2 ft, and combined energy values barely crack 70. Most days, the energy is in the 20s and 30s, which is just a lake. Wind is often offshore or clean, but you need something *to* be clean. There’s nothing to work with.
Now, I will say, the water temp on that first Sunday the 5th is 62°, and it’s 3° warmer than normal for this time of year, so if you just want a float on a board, it’s not freezing. But for waves? No dice. There's a little bump on the 10th and 11th with swell trying to push up to 2 ft and 2 ft from the west, but that combined energy (65-70) is still weak, and the period is short. It's a paddler's current, not a surfer's wave.
Even the few glassy mornings, like Wednesday the 8th and Tuesday the 14th, are wasted on flat water. You'd get a better workout on a SUP. But honestly, if you’re desperate, the glassiest and cleanest conditions will be early on the 8th, 14th, and 17th – but the swell is just not there.
So, my call? It’s a blank run. The guidance tells me the spot is inconsistent, and this stretch proves it. There's no standout, no hidden gem for the next two weeks. For this area, a run like this is more normal than unusual. We just have to wait for the charts to change.
