The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Broadhaven South over the next couple of weeks.
Truth be told, it’s a rough start. We’ve got a long stretch of pretty flat, weak, or just messy conditions. From Sunday the 26th right through to Friday the 31st, the swell is tiny and the energy is next to nothing – readings are mostly below 100 (weak energy), with a lot of days showing zero to poor surf. Not much to get excited about early on.
Sunday the 26th is a write-off, with a fresh 22 mph offshore wind but next to no swell. Monday the 27th brings a little 3ft W swell, but it’s short period, only 6 seconds, and the energy is weak (89). Tuesday the 28th drops right off. By Wednesday the 29th, it’s down to 0.7ft and 8 energy units. The whole first week is a struggle, honestly.
But hang in there. Saturday the 1st of August is where things start to change. The morning is glassy with a 4ft SW swell, but it’s still short period (5 seconds) and the energy is weak (73). The afternoon though, that’s the first real flicker. We see a 5ft SW swell, period goes up to 7 seconds, and the combined energy finally bumps into the moderate range (217). The wind is a light cross-off, so it’s clean. It’s still not perfect, but it’s surfable. That’s the best we’ve seen so far.
Sunday the 2nd of August gives a clean, glassy afternoon with a 3ft WSW swell – pretty small, but tidy. The real standout, though, is Saturday the 8th of August. That morning, the wind is glassy, and we’ve got a 4ft SW swell. The afternoon gets even better: a 4ft WSW swell, clean, with a moderate offshore breeze from the NW, and the energy is solid at 122 (moderate). That’s a good window for this spot.
The 9th of August also has a nice glassy afternoon with a 3ft WSW swell and a 10-second period, pushing energy up to 142. That’s a clean, long-period groundswell, which will work well here at Broadhaven South, a sheltered spot that likes swell from the SW. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
So, if you’re looking for a wave, the pick of the fortnight is Saturday the 8th of August – afternoon session. The 1st of August afternoon is a runner-up, but the 8th has better energy and wind. Crowds are likely here, so get in early.
Rusty.

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.
