The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days for Gantheaume Point (Broome) are a dead loss. There’s nothing to get excited about, not a single session worth paddling out for. This stretch is a classic case of a place that’s almost always flat this time of year, so a blank run like this is pretty normal.
We kick off Friday, July 17th, with a tiny 0.3ft swell out of the west, with a period of 12 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 3 – that’s basically nothing. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are the same story: 0.3ft, clean conditions with some offshore winds in the afternoons, but it’s just not enough to surf. The water is sitting at 73°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year by about 3°.
The whole first week is the same: tiny 0.3ft west swell, decent winds, but nothing to ride. By Thursday, July 23rd, the swell disappears completely, and we’re looking at flat, clean conditions all the way through to the end of July. The morning of Friday, July 31st, is still flat, but the afternoon coughs up a tiny pulse – 0.3ft, west swell, with a very long period of 19 seconds. That’s a groundswell, but with only 7 units of energy, it’s a whisper. The wind turns onshore from the northwest, so it’s messy.
The very last entry, Saturday, August 1st afternoon, shows a slightly bigger 0.7ft swell from the west-northwest, with a period of 14 seconds and energy of 19. Still tiny, and the wind is light cross-onshore. It’s a kite surfer’s dream, maybe, but for a paddle surfer? Forget it. Gantheaume Point rarely breaks at the best of times, and this forecast confirms it’s a write-off. Keep the board in the bag, mate.
Rusty.
