The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s cooking at Broadhaven South over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, honestly. The spot’s sheltered and really likes a solid SW swell, but it’s inconsistent, so don’t count on a steady run. The water’s sitting a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, about 64°F.
Right off the bat, Monday the 14th through to Wednesday the 16th, we’ve got waves from 3ft to 6ft, but the wind is all wrong—cross-shore, choppy, and lumpy. Surf quality is just poor. Not worth getting wet. Thursday the 17th bumps up to 7ft from the west with a short period of 7 seconds and a combined energy of 399. The morning has offshore wind, but the waves are messy and unrefined.
Friday the 18th through Sunday the 20th, the swell sits between 4ft and 6ft from the WSW. Some windows are clean, but the scores are still zero. The period is short, and Friday afternoon brings cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions.
The first real chance for a surf comes on Tuesday the 22nd afternoon. You’ve got 4ft of swell from the west with a period of 10 seconds—decent groundswell—and the wind’s barely a breeze from the WSW at 5 km/h (3 mph). Combined energy sits at 296, so there’s some push. The description says “surfable but very ordinary,” and that’s about right. It’s your best shot, but don’t expect magic.
Wednesday the 23rd morning goes glassy with 3ft of WSW swell and a 9-second period (energy 138). Super clean, but small. After that, it’s a slow drop into tiny waves and onshore winds through the end of the month. We see a little spike on the 25th with 2ft of very long-period 13-second swell from the west (energy 230), but the cross-onshore wind will mess it up.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. Tuesday the 22nd afternoon is the pick of a poor lot. The rest is a waiting game.
Stay patient, and I’ll see you on the next one.
