The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this is a tough one for the Broome region. We’re looking at a 16-day window that starts with a whole lot of nothing and doesn’t get much better. The first surf recommendation doesn’t show up until the 15th of July, but even then, it’s a grim picture. The combined energy of the only swell in the water is a weak 4. We’re talking tiny 0.3ft waves from the west, with a long period of 13 seconds – that’s a groundswell, but there’s just no height to work with.
The water temperature at Gantheaume Point (Broome) is sitting at 74°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, just over a degree off the mark. Not a huge deal, but you’ll notice it.
The entire first week is a write-off. From Wednesday the 15th right through to Monday the 21st, it’s all 0.3ft swell with poor surf conditions. The wind is mostly cross-off or offshore, which would normally be a positive, but there’s nothing to ride. The afternoons do see some clean, offshore setups, especially on the 18th with a gentle breeze, but again, the swell is basically non-existent. The period on the 20th of July drops to a shocking 2 seconds – that’s just wind chop, not surf.
There’s a long gap of several days with no real recommendations. The swell energy stays weak, barely cracking 6 on the 18th, and then we hit a wall from the 23rd of July onward. Thursday the 23rd through to Monday the 28th? Zero swell. Nothing. The wave energy is a flat 0. The wind is still blowing, but it’s all cross-off and offshore, making for a clean but flat ocean.
The only glimmer comes on the 29th of July, Wednesday morning. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, which is a major positive for clean conditions. But the swell is still a pathetic 0.3ft from the west, with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 3. It’s a beautiful morning to be on the water, just not for surfing. The 30th of July, Thursday morning, is also glassy, with a 0.3ft, 14-second period west swell, and energy of 4. Still too small.
Overall, the only break in the book is Gantheaume Point, a beach and point setup that rarely breaks. It’s inconsistent, and this forecast proves it. There’s simply no good surf on offer in the entire 16 days. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this blank run isn’t unusual. The forecasts can always change, but right now, you’d be better off with a kite if you’ve got one, because the paddle surfing is dead.
