The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Broadhaven South over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, this is a tough one. The forecast is pretty grim for a solid stretch. We’re looking at over a week of essentially nothing worth paddling out for. The surf is just not cooperating, with one poor reading after another.
The first possible glimmer doesn’t show up until the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. Even then, it’s a big, raw winter swell. We’re talking a 10ft SW swell, but with a short period of 8 seconds. The wind is cross-offshore, which keeps the surface reasonably clean, but the combined wave energy is pumping hard at 1059. That’s a lot of power. Honestly, for a sheltered spot, that’s going to be a washing machine for all but the most experienced. Beginners, steer clear.
Again, on the 5th of September, Saturday morning, there’s another big pulse. An 8ft WSW swell with a 9-second period, and a clean cross-offshore wind. The energy is right up there again at 1247. It’s a powerful, lumpy ocean. It’s a standout for its size, but it’s really only for the experts who know the break inside out.
The one true standout that actually looks like a good surf session is on the 9th of September, Wednesday. Finally, the stars align. We’ve got a 5ft W swell with a long 11-second period, and the wind is a light offshore from the NW. That’s glassy, clean conditions. The energy is a solid 586, which is proper. This is the one to circle. It’s not a massive day, but the quality and the clean conditions will make it the best on offer. The break is inconsistent, but when it comes in, it will be worth the wait.
