The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is a quiet stretch. The whole 16-day window is basically a flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for. From Wednesday the 29th of July right through to Thursday the 13th of August, every single session comes back as poor surf conditions. The combined energy of all swells directed here barely gets above 42 (weak energy), and most readings are well under 30. That’s a long, dry run.
The only break in the mix is Broadhaven South. It’s a sheltered spot, inconsistent, and when it does get a pulse the optimum swell direction is from the SW. The swell we do see is tiny – 2ft at best on Thursday morning the 30th of July, with a short period of 5 seconds and a moderate offshore wind from the WNW. That’s the biggest it gets, and it’s still listed as poor surf. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, no major anomaly to report.
Through the first week, the mornings sometimes offer a clean look with offshore or glassy conditions, but the swell is just too small to push any shape. On Sunday the 2nd of August afternoon, it goes glassy with 1.0ft – pretty, but unridable. By the second week, from the 5th of August onward, it’s even smaller, with heights dropping to 0.3ft or 0.7ft. A few glassy moments on the 9th and 11th, but again, no wave energy to speak of.
There is no standout session here. The best you could hope for is a longboard on the Thursday morning (30th July) with the 2ft and a clean offshore wind, but even then, it’s a stretch. This is one of those blank runs that happens in a sheltered setup like this – forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.

Information about the Broadhaven South Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Broadhaven South provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Broadhaven South can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Broadhaven South may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
