The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you: the next week and a half or so is pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak swells and poor conditions, so don’t be in a rush to get your gear wet. The first few days are essentially a write-off for any decent surf. The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing wild, but you might not need the thickest wetsuit.
We’re looking at North Broulee (Broulee-North) as the only spot in the frame. The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t come until Sunday, the 30th of August. That morning, we get a clean 5ft swell from the ENE with a clean cross-offshore breeze – that’s the first time the stars align. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 308, so there’s some proper push behind it. The afternoon gets even better: glassy conditions, 5ft ENE swell, energy at 295. This is your standout window for the whole outlook. It’s not huge, but it’s clean, and after so many flat days, it’ll feel like a gift.
There’s another promising run further out, around Wednesday the 2nd of September. The morning looks glassy again with a 3ft ENE swell, but the period is 11 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell, with more energy (285) and better shape. The wind is dead calm, so it’ll be silky smooth. That afternoon, it picks up to 4ft, but the wind swings onshore and chops it up. So the morning session on the 2nd is your second-best bet.
Beyond that, Thursday the 3rd has a 5ft ENE swell with a long 11-second period, but the wind is messy – cross-shore and then onshore. It’s marginal. Friday the 4th of September cleans up again with a light offshore and 4ft ENE swell, so that’s another decent paddle if you’re keen.
Overall, the pick of the 16 days is Sunday the 30th of August – glassy, clean, and a solid 5-5ft from the east-northeast. Get in the water then. The rest is mostly small or choppy, but there are a few tidy windows if you’re patient.
Rusty.

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.
