The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be honest right up front – this is a tough outlook for the Broome region. We’re only looking at Gantheaume Point, and the truth is there’s basically nothing rideable worth paddling out for across the entire 16-day run. The whole forecast period is a write-off for surf.
From Saturday the 8th of August right through to Sunday the 23rd of August, we’ve got a long, empty gap with no real swell. The occasional tiny pulse tries to push in, but it’s barely a ripple. The biggest we see is a mere 2ft on Saturday afternoon, but that’s coming from the WSW with a period of just 3 seconds – that’s junky windswell, and with a 16 mph cross-on breeze, it’s just messy and choppy. No good. The water temperature is sitting at 72°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll feel that nip if you’re tempted.
The rest of the days are dominated by flat spells or knee-high slop. Sunday the 9th has a clean 1ft with a fresh offshore wind, but it’s too small to do anything with. Combined wave energy never gets out of the single digits – we’re talking values like 9, 7, 5, even 1 – that’s weak, gutless energy. The swell direction is mostly WSW or W, which is the optimum direction for this spot, but with heights under 1ft, it doesn’t matter. There’s a long-period groundswell trying to sneak in around the 19th and 20th of August with periods of 17 to 19 seconds, but the heights are only 0.3ft – that’s pure ocean texture, not surf.
Even the glassy morning on Friday the 14th of August, with zero wind, offers nothing – no swell at all. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a normal blank run. It’s just not happening. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you’ll be sitting on a flat ocean. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, because there’s simply no wave to ride.
Rusty.
