The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's see what we've got for Broome. Look, I'm not gonna lie to you, it's a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is pretty flat for Gantheaume Point. The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year though, sitting around 78°, so it's pleasant enough for a swim.
For the whole first week, we're looking at tiny, messy dribble. The combined swell energy is basically nothing, just weak little numbers. It's all jumbled up cross-onshore wind, making for choppy, poor conditions. There's a bit of a clean-up Monday morning the 7th with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is still only about 1 ft—hardly worth paddling out for.
The second week doesn't offer much hope either. More of the same tiny, weak swell. The only real change is that by Wednesday the 16th, we finally get a clean, offshore wind. The ESE breeze is blowing moderately offshore on the Wednesday morning, and by Thursday the 17th we have fresh offshore winds from the ESE and SE. But the problem is the swell—it's laughable. We're talking 0.3 ft to 1 ft on a 6-7 second period. The energy reading is still pathetic. It's clean, but there's nothing to ride.
To be honest, the whole 16-day run is a dud for surfing. That blank stretch is pretty common for the area when the swells aren't lined up. Save yourself the drive.
