About This Spot
Broulee South Beach is an exposed coastal beach break on the New South Wales south coast, featuring a northeast-facing sandy beach backed by native forest. The spot experiences consistent ocean swell with moderate wave heights around 1.5m and faces open exposure to the Tasman Sea. The narrow beach access and rocky sections visible in the southern portion create space constraints. Best conditions occur with northwest winds (315°) providing reliable side-shore conditions parallel to the coastline. The low wind reliability (0.8%) and modest average wind speed (4.8 knots) suggest this spot requires patience and attention to weather windows. The proximity of residential development and forest constraints mean access and space management are practical considerations. Water temperature around 16°C requires thermal protection year-round. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with moderate swell exposure, rocky terrain navigation, and variable wind patterns. The exposed setting provides genuine ocean conditions rather than sheltered waters, making proper equipment and wave awareness essential.
