Gantheaume Point (Broome) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for our patch of coast.

Straight up, the next two and a half weeks are looking flat. I mean, really flat. There are no good surf options in the entire 16-day window. It's a long stretch of nothing doing, so don't be holding your breath for a wave.

The only spot on the radar is Gantheaume Point (Broome), but it's a tough one. The data shows it "rarely breaks," so this blank run isn't unusual—it's just the nature of the place. The water temperature is at 74°F which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you'll feel that nip when you're staring at the flat ocean.

From Tuesday the 7th right through to Wednesday the 22nd, it's just a sad story of tiny swell and poor conditions. The combined swell energy barely registers, with values from just 1 to 7 (weak energy). We're looking at a consistent 0.3ft swell out of the west, with a long period of 11 to 17 seconds. That's a long period groundswell, but when it's that small, it's just a wobble. It would need a decent point or reef to have any chance, but with no height, there's nothing to ride.

There are plenty of mornings with clean offshore or cross-offshore winds from the east and southeast, and a couple of glassy moments on Saturday the 18th afternoon and Tuesday the 21st morning, but with zero wave height, it's all for nothing. It's a perfect setup for a longboard if there were waves, but there aren't any.

The swell never gets over 1ft, so forget about it being too big for anyone. It's just too small.

So, the long and short of it: leave the board at home for the next couple of weeks. This stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if the wind gets up, but for us surfers, it's a write-off. Forecasts can change, but for now, it's a full-on flat spell.

Rusty.
