Table - best surf conditions forecast for North Broulee over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here.
It’s gonna be a quiet stretch for North Broulee. Over the next 16 days, the swell is small and the conditions are mostly messy. There are no real standout days, but a handful of windows offer something clean enough to get wet.
The water is sitting at 64°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for late August.
Things start off poor on Sunday the 23rd and stay that way through Monday and Tuesday. You’re looking at small, weak swell – under `4ft` – but the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, and the energy is low (128-196). Not worth paddling out.
The first hint of something surfable arrives Wednesday the 26th afternoon with a `5ft` SSE swell and 7-second period. The energy picks up to `294`, but it’s cross-on and marginal. Still, if you’re desperate, it’s the biggest of the early run.
Thursday the 27th morning turns glassy – wind goes calm, swell is `3ft` from the SSE, period 8 seconds, energy `144`. It’s nothing special but glassy is glassy. That’s your best bet in the first week.
Friday the 28th morning is dead calm again – glassy, `2ft` SSE, 9-second period, energy `174`. Clean but tiny. Same story Saturday the 29th morning: glassy, `2ft` SE, energy `137`.
Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st stay small. The 1st of September morning goes glassy again with a `2ft` S swell, 10-second period, but only `84` energy. Clean but barely a ripple.
Wednesday the 2nd morning is glassy: `2ft`, 10-second period from the E, energy `129`. Again, clean but small.
Thursday the 3rd morning shows a `4ft` SSE swell with cross-offshore wind from the NNW – that’s clean. Period is only 6 seconds, energy `125`. It’s surfable but ordinary. Probably the most “fun” of the whole run, but not a standout by any stretch.
After that, it fades: tiny waves and mostly poor conditions through to Monday the 7th of September.
Overall, no real standouts. The cleanest windows are Thursday 27th morning, Friday 28th morning, Saturday 29th morning, and Thursday 3rd morning. If you’ve got to pick one, go with Thursday 3rd morning – that little cross-off bump might give you a few fun ones.
Stay patient, mate.

Information about the North Broulee Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for North Broulee provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at North Broulee can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our North Broulee 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 (North Broulee) 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 North Broulee 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.
