G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll level with you – the next 16 days are a flat spell for the Broome area. Gantheaume Point (Broome) is a rare breaker at the best of times, and right now there’s just nothing doing. The whole outlook is a long stretch of tiny, inconsistent dribble with zero swell energy to speak of.
From Tuesday 7 July through to Wednesday 22 July, the surf is basically non-existent. Swell heights are stuck at 0.3 ft all the way through, with combined energy readings barely reaching 6 – that’s about as weak as it gets. The periods are long, between 12 and 17 seconds, which would normally be promising for a point like Gantheaume, but there’s just no height behind them. It’s a classic case of a groundswell that’s been born and died before it got here.
There’s no standout session. The wind does offer some clean windows – Wednesday 8 July afternoon has a light offshore from the SSE, and Friday 10 July afternoon has a gentle offshore from the SSE too. You’ll get clean, tiny lines, but you’ll be lucky to catch anything rideable. The water’s sitting at 74°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, about 3° cooler.
If you’re absolutely desperate for a paddle, Sunday 19 July morning is glassy with no wind, and the swell is still 0.3 ft, but it’s the best the whole period offers. Honestly, it’s a kite surfer’s window if the wind picks up, but for paddle surfing, it’s a write-off. This sort of blank run is normal for the area – the swell just doesn’t favour this coast often. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d keep the boards in the shed.
Rusty.

Information about the Gantheaume Point (Broome) Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Gantheaume Point (Broome) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Gantheaume Point (Broome) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Gantheaume Point (Broome) surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Gantheaume Point (Broome) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
