G'day, I'm Rusty. Look, I've gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run for Broadhaven South. The next couple of weeks look pretty flat, with nothing really worth paddling out for. We're looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions from now right through to at least the 19th of July. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1 to 2 feet, and the wave energy is just weak as anything – we're seeing values like 185 (moderate) right at the start on Saturday the 4th of July, but after that it drops right off into feeble numbers like 78, 44, and even down to 8. It's a proper blank run.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
On Saturday the 4th of July, the morning swell is a tiny 2 feet from the west with a 10-second period, and the wind is a cross-off at 9 mph. The afternoon picks up a touch to 4 feet from the west, but the wind stiffens to 16 mph. Still, the wave comment says "poor surf conditions" – it's just not offering any quality. For the rest of the first week, it's the same story: tiny, crummy swell, with cross-off winds. On Wednesday the 8th of July, the morning is glassy, which is a nice thing to see, but the swell is only 1 feet – you'd be lucky to get a ride.
Even when we get a bit of a long-period swell, like on Saturday the 11th of July with a 17-second period from the southwest, the swell height is a pathetic 0.3 feet. That's pure groundswell energy, but there's no size to work with. The energy reading is only 27. For a spot that's described as "inconsistent" and "sheltered," we need a lot more oomph than this.
The second week doesn't offer any hope either. The swell stays below 2 feet right through to the 19th, with very weak energy. The wind is mostly offshore or cross-off, which would be great if we had any waves to surf. The break is a "beach" setup, and with the swell being so small and the energy so low, it's honestly not even interesting for kite surfing.
There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. Given that Broadhaven South is "inconsistent" anyway, this kind of blank run is more normal for the area. Don't give up hope – forecasts can change, but for now, it's a stay-at-home kind of outlook.

Information about the Broadhaven South Surf forecast

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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
