The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next sixteen days for Broadhaven South. I’ll be honest, it’s a slow start, and we’ve got a long wait for anything that’s really worth paddling out for. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 12th, so we’re looking at nearly a week of flat, small, or just plain messy conditions before that.
Right now, through Thursday the 6th and all the way to Tuesday the 11th, it’s tiny. We’re talking ankle-snappers at best, with swell heights barely reaching 1 foot and weak energy. The wind is all over the place, but the surf just isn’t there. It’s a real bummer, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
The first sign of life comes on Wednesday the 12th. We get a pulse of moderate energy with a 3 to 4 foot swell from the WSW, pushing in at a 9 to 10 second period. That’s a bit of a groundswell flavour, which is good for shape, but the wind is cross-shore, so it’s gonna be a bit lumpy. The water temp is sitting around 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a small win. Still, the conditions are just ordinary, nothing to write home about.
Thursday the 13th is probably the best on offer across the whole period. The swell holds around 4 feet from the WSW, with 10-second periods, keeping that moderate energy. The wind swings into a clean cross-offshore direction from the west, which is the big win here. The wave energy is in the moderate zone. This is the one day I’d pencil in. It’s not a classic, but it’s the clearest window we get.
From Friday the 14th onward, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The swell sticks around but the quality drops. There’s a bump up to 5 feet on Sunday the 16th with a gusty offshore wind from the NNW, but the period drops to 7 seconds – short-period windswell, so it’s going to be bumpy and less organised. The energy is strong, but it’s not clean. The rest of the second week sees the swell fade and the wind chop it up, with a couple of days seeing fresh breezes over 18 mph kicking up lumpy, cross-shore junk. There’s a day with a 15-second period on the 20th, but it’s only 0.3 feet of swell – useless.
Bottom line: This is a period for patience. The standout is Thursday the 13th with clean, cross-offshore winds and a solid 4 foot swell from the WSW. For a sheltered spot like Broadhaven South, that’s your best bet. The rest is mostly small or messy. Don’t hold your breath for the second week.
Rusty.
