The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about what we’ve got on the horizon for Broadhaven South.
Honestly, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this 16-day window looks pretty grim for a proper paddle session. The whole stretch is a tough one. There is a big gap of poor conditions right through the first week and into the second. We’re looking at a long blank run with very few windows worth getting excited about.
The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 64°, which is a nice surprise for the skin, but it won’t help the waves.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Thursday, the 13th of August. The morning has a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the WSW, with a light WNW breeze keeping it tidy. The combined energy is moderate at 256, and it’s a cross-off wind state. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary – not a standout, just the best of a bad bunch. The afternoon stays clean but the energy drops a bit. That Thursday morning is your best bet if you’re desperate.
Then Saturday the 15th of August morning offers a similar story: 4ft from the WSW, light WNW wind, cross-off, and clean. The energy is moderate at 237. Again, it’s just surfable, but nothing to write home about.
The rest of the run is a write-off. Strong winds, onshore slop, tiny waves, or lumpy cross-chop. The swell is mostly weak, with energy readings often under 100, and the periods are short and weak. The 14th of August has some size but it’s blown out by a fresh breeze.
This is a spot that’s inconsistent, and this forecast proves it. For a few days there, the setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle, with strong cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions. The best I can say is that it tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, the 13th and 15th of August mornings are the only times I’d even bother checking.
Rusty.
