The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for the imperial crew. I’m Rusty, and I’ll tell you straight – it’s a tough outlook for Broadhaven South across the full 16 days.
We get going on Thursday the 3rd of September with a 6 ft swell from the WSW, but it’s a short 8-second period. The wind is cross-off from the WSW at 16 mph, and the combined wave energy is 331 – that’s weak. It’s all poor surf conditions. Friday the 4th sees the swell pick up to 7 ft with a combined energy of 568, but the wind is howling from the WNW at 22 mph. Still cross-off, still poor.
Saturday the 5th gives you a moment of promise. The swell drops to 3 ft, and the morning turns glassy. Dead calm. The combined energy is only 162, though, so it’s weak energy even if it looks clean. The surf quality is still poor. Sunday and Monday follow the same pattern.
Monday the 7th of September has a proper pulse. A 7 ft WSW swell with a long 12-second period. The combined energy jumps up to 1247, which is moderate to strong. The wind is cross-off from the west at 16 mph, keeping it clean. The direction is SW, which is Broadhaven South’s optimum. But the score is a 1 out of 10, called marginal due to tide. It’s a tease. The afternoon gets wrecked by 25 mph cross-shore winds.
Tuesday the 8th is the big one. The morning shows an 8 ft west swell with a 9-second period and a combined energy of 1171. The wind is cross-off from the west at 25 mph. That’s a strong breeze, but it’s offshore. At 8 ft, this is for experts only – way too big for beginners. The surf quality is still rated poor.
From Wednesday the 9th of September onward, it’s a long, slow decline. The swell drops, the combined energy falls below 100 most days, and while we get some glassy mornings (Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th, for example), the swell is down to 2 ft and 2 ft. You get clean conditions with offshore winds, but there’s no substance.
There isn’t a true standout here. The best potential is that Monday the 7th morning for the big-swell experienced crew, but it’s marginal. The second week is all tiny, clean waves that look pretty but won’t get you barreled. For beginners, the 8 ft Tuesday the 8th is a no-go. This is a classic inconsistent break showing its true colors. You’ll have to sit this one out.
Rusty.
