The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s lay it out for you. The shelf is quiet for a long stretch, so don’t be in a rush. We’ve got a dry spell of nearly a week before the ocean shows any real signs of life.

The first worthwhile ripple doesn’t arrive until Sunday, August 4th at Broadhaven South. It’s not a classic, but it’s the first glimmer. The swell is a modest 3ft from the West, with a short period of 7 seconds, pushing a weak 103 (moderate wave energy) into the bay. The wind is a light offshore breeze from the West, so it’ll be clean. Still, with only moderate energy and a short period, it’s more of a longboard cruise than a power session. And the water temp? About average for the time of year, nothing to write home about. This spot is sheltered and inconsistent, but when it’s on, it’s a treat.

The real standout window is Wednesday, August 6th. The morning brings a solid 6ft swell from the West-South-West, period at 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 372 (moderate to strong). That’s the best energy we see in the whole 16-day run. The wind is a clean offshore from the West-North-West, making for tidy conditions. This is the pick of the bunch, but take note: 6ft is pushing into intermediate territory; beginners might find it a handful. The afternoon holds at 5ft, also clean, with energy at 240.

Thursday, August 7th is a fade. The morning has a clean 4ft from the West with a 6-second period, offshore wind, but the energy drops to 119. The afternoon is a ghost – 0.7ft. That’s it for the first week.

From Friday, August 8th through the middle of the following week, the surf is flat to tiny. We’re looking at waves under 3ft for days, with energy figures in the teens and twenties. The wind is often clean or glassy, but there’s simply nothing to ride. If you’re a kite surfer, the consistent cross-offshore winds on the 15th and 16th (gusting 25 mph) might make Broadhaven South look interesting, but for paddle surfing, it’s a no-go.

Then, around Sunday, August 18th, the ocean wakes up. The morning sees a 6ft West-South-West swell, 6-second period, with energy at 232. The afternoon is the best of the last week: 6ft from the West, 7-second period, and a solid 345 (moderate to strong energy). Both sessions have fresh cross-offshore winds, keeping it clean. This is another window for the intermediate crew. It’s a promising sign, but it’s far out, so keep an eye on the forecast.

The rest of the 16 days? A few knee-high mornings with a clean face, but nothing to get excited about.

So, to sum it up: Wednesday, August 6th (morning) is the outright best session – 6ft, clean, and the most energy of the entire run. Sunday, August 18th (afternoon) is the second standout, but it’s a long-range bet. Don’t hold your breath for the week in between; it’s flat.

Rusty out.

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.
