The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up.
Right, I'm looking straight at Gantheaume Point (Broome) – a beach and point setup that, to be honest, barely even blinks on the radar. This spot is a time capsule; it *rarely breaks*. And if you look through the next 16 days, there's just nothing on the cards. It's a flat spell, and a long one at that.
The water’s around 76°, which is pretty much bang on average for the time of year, not that it’ll make any difference.
We kick off on the 25th of August with a pathetic 0.7ft of west swell, but the energy is weak as dishwater (2), and there's a 19 mph cross-off breeze that's just cleaning the lack of waves. Tuesday afternoon is even smaller. That sets the tone: day after day of 0.3ft or 1ft slop with periods all over the shop. The swell directions swing from W to WSW to NW, but it’s all rubbish with the combined energy barely cracking double digits. Wednesday the 26th is a write-off. Thursday the 27th is a write-off.
Friday the 28th? Still flat. Weekend of the 29th and 30th? You’ll see a bump to 2ft Saturday afternoon, but that's with a 19 mph cross-shore wind making a lumpy mess. The energy is still only 10. Come Monday the 31st, it’s back to piddly little waves.
On the 1st of September, Tuesday morning goes glassy with a 0.3ft west swell carrying a very long 20-second period (energy 11). That’s enough to make a tiny ripple, but it’s not breaking, mate. The rest of the first week of September is more of the same: small, choppy, cross-onshore wind rubbish.
The second week drags on into the 8th and 9th of September. We see some clean offshore winds from the ESE on the 8th (19 mph) and SSE on the 8th afternoon, but the swell is a joke at 0.3ft. The energy is 1. It’s a beautiful, clean, flat ocean.
Honestly, there is no standout here. There isn't a single surfable day in the entire 16-day window. Everything scores zero in quality. For a setup that rarely breaks, this is just a normal blank run. The ocean is basically smooth. It’s a better bet for a paddle in the morning than a paddle-out.
Rusty.
