Table - best surf conditions forecast for Broadhaven South over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – looking at Broadhaven South, the next two weeks are a tough ask. The swell is tiny and the energy is weak for the vast majority of the period. There’s no standout session, and frankly, no good surf on offer. The first recommendation comes in on Thursday, July 9th, but it’s a real struggle.
We start off Thursday morning, July 9th, with a glassy 1ft W swell, period of 10 seconds, and combined energy a measly 28. It’s tiny, but it’s clean. The water temp is 62°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. By the afternoon, a light NW offshore breeze cleans it up, but with the same 1ft size, it’s not worth paddling out for.
The next few days are flat and poor. Friday the 10th has a 2ft W swell, but it’s cross-shore in the morning and the period drops to 9 seconds. The energy is still low (65). Saturday the 11th is worse – 1ft WSW swell with a 8-second period and cross-onshore winds. Sunday the 12th is a 2ft E swell with a pathetic 4-second period and lumpy onshore winds. For the whole first week, the swell is below 3ft and the energy never cracks 100.
We get a bit of a pulse on Monday the 13th with a 5ft E swell, but the period is a short 5 seconds and the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, so it’s lumpy and messy. The combined energy finally hits 127, but it’s not surfable quality. This pattern continues through Tuesday the 14th (4ft E, 5 sec, cross-onshore, 135 energy) and Wednesday the 15th (3ft E, 4 sec, onshore wind). It’s wind-affected, short-period junk.
After that, it drops right back into the doldrums. From Friday the 17th through to the end of the forecast on July 24th, the swell is mostly 1ft to 3ft, with periods rarely over 8 seconds. The energy is below 100 for almost every day. There’s a brief moment on Monday, July 20th afternoon with a 3ft W swell and offshore wind, but it’s a weak 7-second period and 78 energy. On Tuesday, July 21st, a 0.3ft S swell with a very long 17-second period pushes through, but it’s practically non-existent.
The truth is, Broadhaven South is a sheltered, inconsistent spot, and this 16-day window is a blank run. The best you can hope for is a clean, tiny wave on a few mornings with offshore winds, but it’s not going to hold you up. The few bigger swells are all onshore and chopped out. Not worth wetting the suit for.
Stay tuned, forecasts can change. I’ll be here if they do.
Rusty.
