The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

Straight up, I gotta be honest with ya – the next 16 days are lookin’ pretty flat and quiet. We’ve got a long stretch here with barely a ripple to get excited about. The first recommendation doesn’t show up until Thursday, July 31st, and even then, it’s tiny. There’s a gap of several days with no real surf to speak of after that first little blip, so patience is gonna be the name of the game.

Right, let’s start with the first potential session. On Thursday afternoon, July 31st, at Gantheaume Point (Broome) , we’ve got a 1 ft swell rolling in from the NW. The period is a super short 2 seconds, so it’s pretty much just wind chop. The combined energy is a weak 1, so there’s no power behind it. The wind is a cross-on from the WNW at 12 mph, which is gonna mess it up a bit. This is a spot that rarely breaks, so seeing anything is a small win, but it’s only for the most desperate beginner.

The water temp at Gantheaume Point is currently 70°, which is a whopping 5° colder than normal for this time of year. That’s a big anomaly, so you’ll want a thick wetsuit if you’re even thinkin’ about paddling out.

The rest of the period is a dead loss. We see a few tiny pulses of 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft swell with periods around 12-15 seconds, but the combined energy stays in the single digits (1 to 7). The wind does go glassy or offshore a few times, like on Wednesday morning, August 6th, and Friday morning, August 7th, but with no swell to speak of, it’s just a flat, clean ocean. There’s nothing to ride.

The best the whole period can offer is that Friday morning, August 7th, where we have a 0.3 ft swell from the W with a very long 15-second period and glassy conditions. The combined energy is a measly 6. It’s clean, but you’d be fighting for a ripple. For a long period swell like that, a point break like Gantheaume Point is the right setup, but there just isn't enough water moving.

Overall, there’s no standout. The forecast confidence is high because it’s so consistently flat. If you’re a kite surfer, some of those afternoons with a 12 mph onshore wind might be more interesting than paddling. For a surfer, this is a long, dry spell. It’s a blank run that’s normal for the area this time of year. Hang tight, the forecasts can change.

Rusty.
