The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Broadhaven South has cookin’ over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch for this sheltered little corner. The first good surf recommendation doesn’t show up until Wednesday, the 26th of August. Before that, we’re looking at a solid week of small, weak, or messy conditions. The water is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 65°.
Now, let’s talk about the one real standout. Wednesday morning, the 26th of August, is the pick of the whole period. We’ve got a fresh pulse of 6ft swell rolling in from the WSW, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is NNW at 9 mph, blowing cross-offshore, which should keep the surface clean. The combined energy hits 639 (moderate wave energy), so there’s some punch behind it. This is the only morning that scores a “good surf conditions” tag. This will be best for intermediate crew, as it’s a bit much for beginners at that size. Keep in mind, this break (Broadhaven South) is sheltered and inconsistent, so don’t sleep on it if the forecast holds.
The afternoon of the 26th drops back to 5ft, still clean with offshore NW winds at 16 mph, but the quality slips a notch – surfable, but ordinary.
Through the rest of the first week of September, mornings are mainly washed out with marginal onshore winds, and the swell stays under 3ft. There’s a brief moment on Wednesday afternoon, the 2nd of September, where we get glassy conditions with a tiny 4ft swell from the west. The energy is weak (196), but if you’re desperate for a glassy slide on a log, that might be your window. Thursday the 3rd fades back to small and clean but negligible surf.
Given the inconsistency of Broadhaven South, a blank run like this is pretty standard. Keep an eye on that Wednesday morning of the 26th – that’s the one.
Rusty.
