North Broulee Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break it down for North Broulee. Rusty here.

First real chance to get wet is Monday afternoon, September 7th. We’re looking at a 5ft SSE swell with a short 8-second period. Wind is cross-off from the SSW at 9 mph, keeping things clean. The combined energy is 333 (moderate), so it’s got some push but nothing crazy. Water temp is 63°, normal for this time of year.

Tuesday the 8th is a skip. Morning is messy, and the afternoon turns into a cross-on chop. Not worth the hassle.

Wednesday the 9th is a tough one. Morning has 5ft of short-period junk, and the afternoon jumps to 7ft with a gusty 19 mph cross-off wind. Combined energy hits 493 (moderate), but that wind is strong. This is more for the kite surfers than paddle guys.

Now, Thursday morning the 10th is a standout. We’ve got 8ft of S swell with a 10-second period, clean cross-off wind from the SSW at 9 mph, and the combined energy is a huge 2166 (strong). That’s a lot of water moving. This is expert-only territory, but if you’re up for it, it’s a serious session. The swell is from the south, a bit off the ideal ESE direction, so it might not be perfectly groomed.

Friday morning the 11th is a gem for the rest of us. Swell drops to 5ft from the SSE, and the wind goes glassy from the east at 3 mph. Clean, smooth, perfect for a log. Combined energy is 334 (moderate), so it’s friendly.

After that, the week fades. Saturday the 12th through Monday the 14th are all small and weak. There’s a glassy moment Sunday morning the 13th with only 2ft, and again Monday the 14th with 1ft, but it’s barely surfable. Combined energy drops to 84 (weak) for both.

Tuesday the 15th has a pulse of 6ft from the SSE, but the wind is strong and cross-off at 12 mph, making it rough. Energy is 360 (moderate), but quality is poor.

The second week is up and down. Thursday the 17th has 6ft in the morning with a strong 19 mph cross-off, then 8ft in the afternoon with even stronger wind. Combined energy hits 1482 (strong) in the afternoon, but it’s blown out. Friday the 18th has 8ft of SSE swell with a longer 11-second period, but the wind is cross-shore, making it lumpy. Energy is 1379 (strong), so there’s power, but no polish.

The best bet in the second week is Saturday morning the 19th. We’ve got 5ft of SE swell with an 11-second period, and the wind is glassy. Combined energy is 571 (moderate). It’s a clean, solid session for intermediate to advanced surfers. The SE direction is closer to the optimum ESE, so it should line up better than the earlier south swells.

After that, it’s a slow fade into tiny, weak waves through the 22nd. Not much to write home about.

So, the real standouts are Thursday morning the 10th for the big, powerful, expert-level swell, and Saturday morning the 19th for a clean, well-sized, and well-directed swell. The Friday morning the 11th is a little gem for the glassy conditions.

This is Rusty, signing off.
