The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one for Broughton. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions, so don't get your hopes up for most of it.
The first real glimmer of something rideable doesn't appear until Saturday, August 1st. The morning shows a 3ft swell from the WSW, with a moderate offshore breeze from the SSE. That's clean, but the wave energy is moderate (141) and the height is barely enough to get a proper ride. It's surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon falls apart with a cross-shore wind.
We then hit another dry spell. The mornings are clean on Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th, but the swell is tiny – just 0.7ft. Glassy, but flat.
Now, for the standout. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, August 5th. The morning brings a solid 8ft swell from the WSW with glassy conditions and light rain. The wave energy is strong (848), and the period is 9 seconds, which is okay. At 8ft, this is expert territory; it's gonna be big and powerful. The wind is forecast to be glassy, so it will be absolutely clean. This is the only true standout on offer, but it's a *real* one if you've got the skills.
Unfortunately, after that, it fades back to small and choppy for the rest of the forecast. The water temperatures are about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
To sum it up: you've got a long wait for a very average day on the 1st, and then a single, promising window of big, glassy surf on the 5th. If you're a beginner, the 4ft swell on the 26th might be okay, but the onshore wind will make it a mess. For the rest of us, it's a waiting game.
Rusty.

Information about the Broughton Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Broughton provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Broughton can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Broughton surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Broughton) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Broughton may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
