North Broulee Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, checking in on the local stretch. The next couple of weeks have a bit of a mixed bag for us, but there’s actually some solid windows if you know where to look. The water is sitting at 64°F right now, which is about average for this time of year, so no wild surprises there.

First real run of decent surf kicks off on Monday morning, the 6th of July. North Broulee is looking clean with a solid 8ft swell pushing in from the SSE, period around 10 seconds. The wind is swinging cross-off from the SSW, keeping things tidy. The combined energy is pumping pretty hard at 1760 (moderate to strong), and for the experienced crew, this is where you want to be. The swell direction is close to the optimum ESE, so it’s lining up nicely.

Tuesday morning the 7th is also worth a paddle. Still a clean 7ft from the SE, period 10 seconds, and cross-off wind from the SSW. Energy is still decent at 1076. It’s a touch smaller but still offering good waves for the morning session.

Now, the standout moment for the first week is looking like Friday morning, the 10th of July. The swell drops a bit to 4ft from the SE, but the wind goes glassy, coming from the NW. That’s the kind of clean, smooth surface we all dream of. Energy is moderate at 435, but with the glassy conditions, the waves will be super clean and user-friendly. This is a top pick for any surfer wanting a nice, easy session.

The second week has a couple of promising calls. Thursday morning, the 16th of July, sees a jump in size with 8ft from the S, period 10 seconds, and a clean cross-off wind from the SSW. Energy is strong at 1760, but it’s getting big, so this is strictly for the experienced crew. The real gem, though, looks to be Friday morning, the 17th of July. The swell is a solid 6ft from the SE, period 10 seconds, and the wind goes glassy from the SW. The energy is strong at 1275, and with that glassy surface, the waves will be cracking. This is the best on offer in the longer range, but it’s a bit out there, so keep an eye on it.

Saturday morning, the 18th of July, also has a nice offshore wind from the WNW, with a 8ft SE swell at 12 seconds. Long period (12 seconds) means it’s a groundswell with plenty of grunt, and offshore wind means clean faces. It’ll be big, though, so only for the experts.

All up, the best windows are Monday morning the 6th, Friday morning the 10th, and Friday morning the 17th. The 10th is the real standout for clean, fun waves. There’s a gap of poor surf from the 12th to the 15th, but the forecasts can change. Stay sharp.

Rusty.
