The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’re looking at Broadhaven South for the next couple of weeks, and I’ve got to be honest with you – it’s a tough run. The forecast is one long, quiet stretch. There are no strong swells, no standout days, and the consistency is just not there. The first time we see any surf worth mentioning isn’t until very late in the period, so we’re looking at a major gap of nearly two weeks of flat or near-flat conditions before that.
The first real pulse of energy that might get your attention comes right at the very end of the outlook. On Friday, August 14th, we’ve got a bit of a spike. The swell is coming from the W at 4 ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 150, so there’s some push there. The wind is a cross-offshore from the WSW, which will keep it clean. But this is a short-period swell, breaking fast and crumbly, not a classic groundswell. It’s still small enough for most, but don’t expect any power. Then into Saturday the 15th, the wind goes fresh offshore from the NW, which is a good look for the surface, but the swell drops back to 3 ft and the energy falls away.
The water is sitting at 64° down here, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, there’s nothing that I’d drive for. The best you can hope for is a weak, short-period wave on the 14th with clean conditions. The spot is sheltered and inconsistent, and the crowds are often around. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that Friday morning might give you a few waist-high sliders, but it’s not a standout. This is a blank run for the area, and it’s not unusual for things to go quiet like this.
Rusty.
