The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s cookin' for the next couple of weeks.
We’re looking at a real mixed bag up front, with a long stretch of nothing much to write home about. The first decent chance of a wave doesn’t arrive until the morning of Thursday the 24th of July, and even then, it’s just a little bump. For the first few days, it’s pretty much flat or real ordinary, so don’t get your hopes up until we hit that Thursday.
Thursday morning the 24th at North Broulee, we get a clean 4 ft swell coming from the SSW with a short period of 7 seconds. The wind is offshore from the W at 6 mph, so it’ll be clean. The combined energy is moderate at 281. It’s not pumping, but it’s a start. The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is about a degree warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a touch on the mild side.
The real standout, the one that’s got me excited, is Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning session is where it’s at. We’ve got a solid 12 ft groundswell from the S with a long period of 11 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the SSW at 16 mph. That’s a big, powerful swell. The combined energy is massive at 3920. This is a serious, expert-only wave. The swell is over 8 ft, so it’s not for the faint of heart. The beach break setup at North Broulee might see this long-period swell breaking a bit straight, so keep your wits about you. This is the best on offer, no question. The afternoon of the 2nd is still big at 10 ft but with a strong cross-shore wind, making it lumpy. The morning is the window.
The week after that, from the 4th of August onward, we see another run of big, powerful swells, but they’re all too big for this spot. The 10 ft to 12 ft swells with crazy energy in the thousands will be drawing a crowd of experts only, if anyone is brave enough. The wind is often light or offshore, so the conditions will be clean, but the size is just too much for a regular paddle. Honestly, at that size and with that kind of power, this setup starts looking more like a kite surfer’s dream than a paddle surfer’s.
So, to wrap it up: the standouts are the clean, offshore morning of Thursday the 24th for a small beginner wave, and the big, powerful, expert-only morning of Sunday the 2nd of August.
Rusty.

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.
