The Lowdown
Well, folks, I won't sugarcoat it—this is a tough stretch for Broadhaven South. Over the next 16 days, the models are showing nothing but small, weak swell and a whole lot of "poor surf conditions." The water is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only highlight.
The pattern starts off flat and stays that way. We're looking at waist-high or smaller waves almost the entire run. The first few days offer nothing worth paddling for. The first solid chance we see for a bit of energy is on Monday, 3rd August, when a small pulse moves in. The morning will see a 3 ft swell from the WSW with a short period of 8 seconds, and combined energy will be a moderate 112. The wind is onshore and messy though, so the morning is a write-off. The afternoon cleans up with a light cross-off breeze, but it's still small and weak.
Then on Tuesday, 4th August, the swell nudges up a touch to 4 ft from the SW, still short-period at 7 seconds, with moderate energy of 157. It's a cross-shore wind, so it'll be lumpy. Wednesday, 5th August, sees the biggest swell of the whole 16-day window at 5 ft from the SW, but the period drops to a pathetic 6 seconds, making it just a weak, choppy windswell. The energy is moderate at 186, but the wind is cross-onshore, making it a messy, bumpy mess. It's not a total loss—if you're a kitesurfer, that combo of wind and swell might actually be more interesting than for paddle surfing.
The rest of the run is a slow decay. From Thursday, 6th August onwards, the swell drops below 4 ft and keeps falling into the tiny stuff. There are some nice offshore winds on the 6th, 8th, 9th, and 10th, with clean conditions, but the waves are just too small to get excited about. The 12th and 13th show a slight bump back to 3 ft from the WSW, but again, short period and weak energy.
The bottom line? There's no standout session here. The surf is consistently poor, and the biggest swell (5 ft on the 5th) is let down by terrible wind and a short, weak period. If you're desperate, you could try the clean offshore windows on the 6th or 8th, but you'll be battling tiny waves. For the most part, this is a blank run for the area. Better luck next week.
