The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you straight up, I've had a good hard look at what's coming down the pipe for Gantheaume Point (Broome), and it is as flat as a millpond. There's nothing for a surfer to get excited about for the next 16 days, full stop.
The wave energy out there are in the low digits for the most part – 5, 6, 7 on the "bigger" days, but that's on swells that wouldn’t knock a beer over. The first few days, the 24th and 25th, you're looking at ankle-biters of 0.5ft to 2ft. It's bumpy and cross-onshore, so it's just chop with no push.
Then it flatlines. From the 26th through the 2nd, the swell drops off to a pathetic 0.5ft. You get some clean, glassy mornings with light offshore winds, like on the 25th, but there's absolutely zero waves to ride. You could walk out to the reef and not get your booties wet.
Into the first week of September, we finally see some long-period groundswell in the charts, with period clocks of 13 to 19 seconds. That’s the right kind of energy for shape, but the height is still basically nothing – 0.5ft. It’s like seeing a fancy car but with no engine.
The stretch around the 5th, 6th, and 7th is the least bad, with the energy values getting up to 8 or 9. But the swell direction is WSW and W, not the WNW that this break really wants. It just won't focus properly. It'll dribble and close out, especially when the period gets over 15 seconds. The water temp is normal at 76°, so no excuses there.
Every single report says "poor surf conditions." That’s not a coincidence. This is a total blank run, and honestly, for this region, that's just how it goes sometimes. It won't stay this dead forever, but if you've got a kite, those cross-shore winds will give you more of a ride than the surf will. There is no "best" day here. Save your energy and look at the forecast later.
