The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna be straight with you. Broadhaven South is a spot that’s known for being inconsistent, and this 16-day stretch proves it. There’s really only one session that’s worth the drive, and even that’s not a classic.
The water temperature is 64°F right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a bit of a silver lining.
The first week is a slog. From Sunday the 2nd through most of the following days, the swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is mostly side or onshore. You get a bump on Wednesday the 5th with swell around 6ft from the WSW, but it’s short period, and the wind is a fresh cross-off, so it’s messy. The combined energy hits 448 (moderate), but the quality is poor. Thursday the 6th morning has a brief window with offshore WNW wind and 4ft, but again, poor surf conditions. It’s a long, quiet stretch.
The only real shot, and I mean the only one, is on Saturday the 8th in the afternoon. You’ve got a 5ft swell from the west, with clean offshore WNW wind at 12 mph. The combined energy is 233 (moderate), and the break is exposed to the optimum SW direction, so the lines are okay. It’s rated "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" – so it’s not going to blow your mind. The 5ft is manageable for intermediates, but the short period and inconsistent nature of the spot mean you’ll be waiting for sets.
After that, it’s back to small, weak, and mostly onshore or cross-shore junk. The second week is a total write-off – tiny swells, short periods, and barely any energy. The combined energy drops to single digits or low two digits most of the time.
Bottom line: If you’re itching to get wet, head out Saturday the 8th afternoon. The rest of the forecast is a long, dry spell. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is just how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
