The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I'll be straight with you – we're in a bit of a flat spell around these parts. The next sixteen days are a write-off for any decent surf. There's just nothing doing.
For the whole run from the 10th of September right through to the 25th, the waves are tiny, mostly 0.3ft to 2ft, and riddled with cross-onshore breeze. It's a classic case of the swell being all noise and no signal. The best of a bad bunch might be the morning of the 24th with a clean, light cross-offshore breeze, but even then you're looking at a 0.7ft ripple. Not worth paddling for.
Gantheaume Point (Broome) rarely breaks anyway, and this window proves it. With combined swell energy values barely ticking over - mostly single digits and only occasionally hitting triple digits like 100 on the 13th morning, but even that's weak - there's simply no power to work with. For a beginner break, you need at least a little push, and this forecast has none.
To be honest, with this persistent onshore wind and tiny, gutless swell, the setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The water temp? Well, we don't have a number here, but it's about average for the time of year, so nothing wild.
Hold tight, mate. It tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change. But for now, leave the board in the shed.
