The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and knots for you.
Rusty here, and I’ll level with you – Broadhaven South has been in a real drought. This break needs a decent groundswell from the southwest to show its teeth, and for the first two weeks, the ocean is giving us leftovers. A slow, flat spell, but there is a little pulse coming on the horizon.
Water temp is about 64°F right now, which is over 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a big warm anomaly, so you can leave the 5/4 at home.
Starting now, through Monday the 13th and most of the following week, it’s all tiny, anemic surf. The combined energy is low, often in the single or low double digits (like 4 to 68). Winds are mostly cross or blowing light offshore, so the surface is clean, but there’s literally nothing to ride. On Wednesday the 15th, you get a clean offshore wind from the NW at 9 knots, but the swell is only 1 foot from the WSW with a weak 9-second period. A total skunk.
The big moment – the only standout in this whole 16-day outlook – comes on Saturday the 25th in the afternoon. The swell jumps to a clean 4 feet from the west, with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy hits 363 (moderate wave energy), and we’ve got a nice 9-knot offshore breeze from the W. The surface is going to be glassy and clean. For a sheltered spot like this, that’s your session. It’s not a monster, but it’s the best on the board by far.
Sunday the 26th still has some size (4 feet from the W), but the wind goes cross-shore, making it a bit choppy and messy. The energy is still there at 222, but it’s not as clean. After that, the swell fades back into flat, weak nothingness for the last few days.
So, to sum it up: a long, boring stretch, then one proper afternoon on the 25th. This break is famously inconsistent, and this forecast is a classic example of that. But that Saturday window is worth keeping an eye on.
Rusty.
