Table - best surf conditions forecast for Gantheaume Point (Broome) over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the table for the Broome region over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest with you, straight up: it’s a flat spell. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch.
Gantheaume Point (Broome) is the only spot in the mix, but it’s a tricky one. This break *rarely breaks*, and the whole 16-day window is a struggle. The water’s sitting at 74.1°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – you’ll feel that nip in the air.
For the first ten days or so – from Sunday the 12th right through to about Tuesday the 22nd of July – we’re looking at tiny, weak swell. Heights are basically a ripple at 0.3ft to 1.0ft from the west and west-southwest. The combined energy is in the weak range (values like 3, 4, 6, and 7). The period is short and uninspiring, mostly around 12 to 14 seconds. The wind is often a cross-offshore from the east or southeast, which keeps the surface *clean*, but there’s just nothing to ride. You’ll get a few glassy afternoons – like Saturday the 18th afternoon with a 0.3ft west swell and glassy conditions – and Monday afternoon the 21st has a 1.0ft west swell but with a terrible 2-second period and cross-shore wind. It’s all just a tease; the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those days.
Things try to nudge up a tiny bit toward the end of the second week. Friday the 24th of July afternoon has a 1.0ft west swell with a slightly better 7-second period and a moderate offshore breeze from the SSE (16 mph). The energy finally reaches 8 – still weak, but it’s the best we get. Then Saturday the 25th brings the longest-period swell of the period, an 18-second west groundswell in the morning (0.3ft) and a 16-second one in the afternoon (0.3ft), with offshore winds. That combined energy hits 10 and 9 – still weak overall. This long-period energy will break straight at a beach setup like Gantheaume, so it’s less ideal.
Honestly, there are no standout days here. The whole window is a gap with no real recommendations. For Broome, this kind of blank run is more normal – it’s a region that relies on specific storms. You just have to wait for the next proper pulse. Forecasts can always change, but for now, save your energy.
