The Lowdown
Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a paddle. Broadhaven South is a sheltered spot, and it's just not getting the juice it needs. The water's a touch warmer than normal for the time of year at 63.1°F, but that's about the only good news.
The entire 16-day window is a tough one. We're looking at a solid two-week stretch of tiny, weak surf. The swell is mostly coming from the SSW and W, but it's barely a ripple. The combined energy is stuck in the low double digits, way under 100, for days on end – that's just whispers of energy. With a long period of 16 seconds on the 15th, it's a groundswell, but there's no height to it. The consistent NW offshore winds will keep the surface clean, but you can't ride what isn't there.
There's a real glimmer of hope on the very last day, Thursday the 30th. The morning and afternoon both show a jump in swell to 4.3ft from the W. The energy finally kicks up into three digits (132 and 130), which is moderate. The period is short at 6 seconds, so it'll be a bit mushy and close together, but the wind is cross-off from the W at 9 mph, so it'll be clean. It's the only day in the whole outlook that looks remotely surfable. If you're desperate, that's your window. For the rest of it, I'd be looking at other hobbies, or maybe a kite if the wind picks up – the clean, consistent offshore wind and tiny waves are a better setup for that than for a surfboard.
It's a blank run, and for this area, with the inconsistency already noted, that's not entirely a surprise. Forecasts can change, but for now, this is a long wait for one Thursday.
