The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I'm gonna be straight with you—this outlook for the next couple of weeks is a tough one. We're staring down a long, dry spell with barely a ripple to get excited about. The first solid recommendation doesn't even pop up until the start of September, so we've got a proper gap of no surf to get through before then.
The only spot on the cards is Gantheaume Point (Broome), a beach and point setup that's marked as "rarely breaks," and this forecast really lives up to that. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no drama there, but the swell is just plain missing.
Right, let's run through it. From Wednesday the 26th of August right through to the end of the month, it's a write-off. We're looking at tiny, pathetic swells, mostly around 0.3 ft to 1 ft, with weak wave energy—the combined swell energy is almost always in the low single digits (between 2 and 6). Winds are all over the shop, mostly cross or onshore, making even the smallest bumps messy. Nothing to even paddle for.
We get into the first week of September, and it's still grim. Monday the 1st of September has a tiny 0.3 ft WNW swell with a long period of 20 seconds, but the combined energy is only 13—still weak. The morning has a clean cross-offshore breeze from the ESE, but there's just no push. The rest of the week is more of the same: 0.3 ft to 1 ft, short-period junk, and choppy onshore winds. It's frustrating.
There's a bit of a lift around Sunday the 6th of September, with a 1.0 ft WSW swell and a period of 6 to 7 seconds. The combined energy nudges up to 7 then 9—still weak, but it's something. The following Monday morning the 7th of September looks like the best of a bad bunch: glassy conditions with a light ENE breeze, and a 1.0 ft WSW swell with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is 11—still weak, but at least it's clean. Even then, "poor surf conditions" is the call.
After that, it's back to nothing. The whole 16-day window is a dud. Gantheaume Point rarely breaks, and this forecast proves it. With such tiny swell, strong winds, and a beach and point setup, honestly, this looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle surf. Keep the board in the car and wait for a better forecast.
Rusty.
