North Broulee Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, looking at the outlook for North Broulee.

Over the next 16 days, there’s not much to get excited about for the most part. The surf window has a slow start with a few clean windows scattered around, but nothing that’ll have you calling in sick. The real standout looks to be on Wednesday the 26th of August, which is over a week and a half away, so keep an eye on that one.

First up, Tuesday the 11th of August morning offers a bit of hope. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the south with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind is glassy out of the west. That’s clean, and the water is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate at 417. It’s a good session for a beginner, but don’t expect fireworks. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore from the east, and it all goes to mush.

Wednesday the 12th morning sees a drop in size to 3ft, but the wind is offshore from the west at 9 mph, keeping things clean. The energy is low at 158. It’s small but surfable if you’re desperate. Thursday morning the 13th comes with a 4ft swell and clean conditions, but the period is short at 7 seconds, and the energy is only moderate at 200. Not much power behind it.

There’s a gap from Thursday afternoon through to Monday the 17th morning where conditions are poor with onshore winds and choppy seas. Monday the 17th morning offers a bit of relief with a 4ft swell, glassy wind, and moderate energy of 221—but it’s raining showers, so bring a hood.

The next real standout, and honestly the best on offer across the whole period, is Wednesday the 26th of August morning. Swell comes up to 6ft from the northeast with an 8-second period, and the wind is dead calm—glassy. Combined energy is strong at 385. That’s proper clean surf, though that 6ft is pushing it for beginners, and the short period means it might not have the longest lines. Still, for a beach break setup, that’s the morning to aim for. The afternoon will go onshore from the east, so get out early.

Between the 11th and the 26th there are long gaps of nothing. Thursday the 20th morning is passable with clean glassy conditions, but the swell is only 3ft and the energy is moderate at 172.

Overall, the surf quality is ordinary for most of the window. But that Wednesday the 26th morning is the one. Mark it on the calendar, but don’t hold your breath until it gets closer.

Rusty.
