The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Broadhaven South.
Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak stretch ahead. The next 16 days are looking like a real struggle to find anything rideable. We’re staring down a long, dry gap with no real surf to speak of. The swell is tiny, often ankle-snappers, and the wind is all over the place. It’s the kind of period where you’re better off doing a full gear check or waxing up a board for a day that might never come. The energy is so low it’s barely registering on the dial, with most readings under 100 (27, 49, 25) – that’s weak, lifeless stuff.
The first real blip of interest comes on Monday, 3rd August. The morning is a write-off with a cross-onshore breeze and a messy 3 ft from the WSW, but the afternoon clean-up is the real story. That same 3 ft swell, with a period of 9 seconds, will be groomed by a gentle offshore from the NW. The energy jumps into the moderate range (119), so there’s a bit of push behind it. The water is still a balmy 65°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit. This is a narrow window, though. The other faint glimmer is on the morning of Tuesday, 4th August. The swell drops to 2 ft from the WSW, but the wind goes dead calm – glassy conditions. It’ll be tiny and weak (48 energy), but if you’ve got a log and want the cleanest possible surface, that’s your moment.
The most interesting day on the whole chart is Monday, 10th August. The morning brings a 5 ft swell from the SW, with a moderate 7-second period. The energy is strong (206), but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore from the S, making it choppy. This is a later-in-the-season bump, but the quality is poor for a paddle surfer. With that swell size and the wind, the setup frankly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The rest of the period after that is a complete washout, with the swell dropping back to nothing.
If you’re desperate, keep an eye on the early hours of Monday and Tuesday, but the only real standout, if you can call it that, is the Monday afternoon window. It’s the best on offer, but that’s not saying much.
Rusty.
