The Lowdown
Gantheaume Point (Broome) is looking mighty grim, to be straight with you. The swell’s barely a whisper for the whole sixteen days, and with this spot being a rare breaker, you’d need everything to line up perfectly. It’s just not happening. The water’s sitting at 72° on Sunday, which is a touch colder than usual for this time of year—nothing wild, but you’ll notice it.
Sunday kicks off with a feeble 1ft WSW swell at 5 seconds, the energy reading a lowly 7. A fresh SE breeze keeps it clean, but there’s just nothing to ride. Afternoon drops to 0.7ft, still nothing. Monday and Tuesday follow the same pattern—tiny waves in the 0.3ft to 0.7ft range, short periods, basically flat. Wednesday morning has a bit of offshore wind, but the swell’s gone entirely. The whole first week is a washout.
Midweek, Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th see the swell bumping to 1ft, but it’s onshore and messy. The wind swings NW and WNW, making for choppy, uninviting conditions. Not worth paddling out for the scraps.
Saturday the 15th turns glassy in the morning with the swell completely flat. It’s pretty, but there’s nothing to surf. The afternoon brings a faint 1ft, but it’s cross-onshore. This run of nothing stretches for days.
Then, a hint of life. Sunday the 16th afternoon shows 1ft from the SW at 3 seconds, energy of 2. Still poor. Monday the 17th afternoon has a slightly bigger 2ft WSW swell at 3 seconds, but the wind is howling cross-shore at 25 km/h, making it lumpy. The energy’s only at 7, so it’s not even a proper pulse.
Past that, it’s more of the same. Tiny swells, cross-onshore winds, and no real power. The period jumps to 13-21 seconds later in the week, but with wave heights stuck around 0.3ft to 2ft, long-period groundswell doesn’t help you when there’s no size to push it. The energy values stay in the single digits or low teens, which says it all—this is weak, exhausted swell. Even the offshore days on the 21st and 22nd, with strong ESE winds, just leave it clean but gutless. You’re looking at 0.3ft lines you could barely stand up on.
Honestly, this is a blank stretch. Gantheaume Point rarely breaks anyway, and this forecast shows nothing that’ll change that. If you’re a kite surfer, some of those cross-off days mid-to-late week might offer a bit of fun, but for a surfboard? Forget it. It’s a proper dry spell, and it looks set to stay that way right through to the 24th. Sometimes the ocean just switches off. I’d keep an eye on it—forecasts can shift—but don’t hold your breath.
