Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for us.

To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and disappointing for the most part. We’ve got a long, quiet stretch ahead before things finally get interesting right at the tail end of the forecast window.

Starting off, there’s really nothing worth paddling out for from Sunday the 12th of July right through until Saturday the 26th of July. That’s a solid two-week gap with barely a ripple to get excited about. We’re talking tiny scraps of energy, mostly under 1.5 feet, with weak combined swell energy readings mostly below 100 – often sitting in the teens or twenties – so don’t bother checking the buoys. Winds are a real mixed bag, with some clean offshore moments on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday afternoon, but there’s just no swell to work with. On Monday the 27th of July, the water temperature at Broadhaven South is sitting at 63.1°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing worth noting until the end.

Now, the one true standout in this whole 16-day window is Monday the 27th of July. Broadhaven South finally wakes up. We’ve got a proper 11.5 foot swell rolling in from the WSW with a solid 9-second period, and combined wave energy is pumping at a massive 2018 (strong to very strong energy). Conditions are absolutely glassy first thing with no wind – about as clean as it gets. That is serious, expert-level surf though. Anything over 8 feet is for experienced crew only, so this one is not for the beginners. The wind shifts a little by Monday afternoon to a moderate offshore from the NW, still keeping it clean with 9.8 foot swell. This is the window to circle on your calendar. The break is sheltered, so it handles the WSW direction nicely, and with that kind of size, Broadhaven South should be holding some proper waves. Just be aware, crowds are often an issue here, so get in early.

Overall, if you’re patient and you’ve got the skills, the 27th of July is the day. The rest of the run is a write-off.
