Right then, let's have a look at the charts for Broadhaven South. It's a sheltered little nook, and the water's sitting at 62°, which is a touch warmer than what we'd normally expect for this time of year. Nice.
Honestly, for the next few weeks, it's a bit of a flat spell. We're not seeing much in the way of proper surf. The energy in the water is weak – we're talking combined swell energy figures mostly in the 20s, 30s, and 40s bracket, which is barely a whisper. There are a few fleeting moments where it might look promising, but the wave comment consistently says "poor surf conditions," and the scores reflect that.
So, let's talk about what's actually on offer. There are no real standouts here, it's a long stretch of small, weak, and often messy conditions.
Through the first week and into the second, it's tiny. Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th of July, we've got 1ft of swell from the WSW, with light offshore or cross-off winds, so it'll be clean, but there's nothing to ride. Thursday the 9th looks similar with a glassy morning, but it's still only 1ft. Friday the 10th, the swell ticks up a tiny bit to 2ft from the west, but the morning has a cross-on wind, so it's not worth getting excited about.
We get a brief pulse of energy on Monday the 13th, with a 4ft easterly swell, but the period is a short 5 seconds and it comes with a fresh cross-on breeze making it lumpy. Not good. Then on Tuesday the 14th of July, the combined energy finally cracks 100, hitting 126, with a 4ft easterly swell, but a strong cross-on breeze makes it messy. That's a pass for paddle surfing – looks more interesting for the kite crew.
After that, it's back to tiny and weak for the rest of the period. We see some longer period groundswell pulses, like a 17-second wave on Tuesday the 21st of July, but it's only 0.3ft. There's nothing to work with.
In short, there's no surf worth paddling out for over this whole 16-day window. With Broadhaven South being an "inconsistent" break, a blank run like this is not unusual for the area. Keep an eye on the charts, though; it tends not to stay this poor forever.

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.
