North Broulee Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for North Broulee over the next couple of weeks.

The good news is there’s a pretty decent run of clean, rideable swell coming through, but you’ve gotta pick your windows. The start is a bit of a write-off for Thursday, with a small, ordinary S swell around 3ft and a sloppy 8-second period, so no point rushing down. But after that, things start to look up proper.

Friday morning the 31st of July is where we get out of bed. A clean SSE swell at 4ft, 10-second period, and the wind is glassy out of the SW. That’s the kind of start you want – clean lines, easy paddling, and the water temp about average for this time of year. The combined energy is only moderate (322), but the quality will be there.

Then Saturday morning the 1st of August is another glassy gem. Same size, 4ft SSE, but with zero wind and a calm sea, it’ll be near-perfect conditions. That’s a real standout for a beginner-friendly wave too. The energy is still moderate (304), but it’ll feel like more because it’s so clean.

After that, we get a bit of a lull. Sunday and Monday drop off, with smaller, wind-affected junk and poor quality. The middle of next week is a write-off – very small waves, poor conditions. Just a wasteland for a few days there. It’s not until Thursday the 6th of August that we get another solid morning: 5ft SSE swell with light offshore SW wind and clean conditions (325). That’s another good morning, but it’s a one-hit wonder before the wind swings onshore.

The real highlight in the longer range though, and this one is worth circling on the calendar, is Tuesday the 11th of August. A 6ft ESE groundswell, 11-second period, with light offshore SW wind in the morning. That’s a proper clean swell with decent energy (702), and it’s pointing right into this break at the optimum direction. It’s a long-range call, so less certain, but it’s got the makings of the best day in the whole outlook.

Wednesday morning the 12th is similarly promising – glassy again, 6ft E swell, 10-second period, very clean (784). That’s another one for the early crew. And Thursday morning the 13th has a meaty 7ft S swell, but that’s pushing into bigger territory for beginners, and with a shorter 8-second period, it might be a bit lumpy. Expert-only there, if the banks hold.

So overall: Friday 31st July and Saturday 1st August mornings are the clear standouts for clean, small fun waves. Then if you’re looking further ahead, Tuesday 11th and Wednesday 12th are the heavy-hitters – promising bigger, cleaner swell if it lines up.
