The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've scanned the charts for the next 16 days and, to be honest, it's a tough one. We're talking about Gantheaume Point (Broome), and the truth is there's nothing on offer that I'd paddle out for. The whole 16-day stretch is a dud.

The first real chance for a wave comes up on Sunday, the 16th of August, but it's a flat 0.7ft cross-on shore wind bump. The swell energy is pitiful, barely registering a 1 in the combined energy readings. The water is a bit colder than normal for this time of year at 72°, which is a bit of a shock to the system. It stays like this for days with tiny, weak swells and choppy, messy winds. The only glimmer is a few clean windows with offshore or cross-offshore winds on the 21st, 22nd, 23rd, and then again on the 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, and 31st of August, but those mornings are all showing a pathetic 0.3ft swell. You can't surf that.

The spot is a rarely-breaking beginner's point, so a blank run like this is more normal than not for the area. You'd be better off with a kite on some of those afternoons when the wind is up, but even then, the swell is laughable. There's no standout period, no hidden gem, no hope. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this one's a write-off.

Rusty.
