The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. The whole 16-day window from now out to mid-September is looking pretty flat and uninspiring for Gantheaume Point (Broome). There’s just no decent swell to speak of, and the wind’s all over the shop.
We kick off Saturday the 29th of August with a tiny 0.3ft to 2ft of weak, short-period slop – that combined wave energy is barely a whisper at 6 to 10. The wind is howling cross-on or cross-shore, making it choppy and messy. Sunday the 30th morning offers a moment of glassy conditions with a slight offshore breeze, but there’s only 1ft of swell (combined energy 8). It’s clean but there’s just no wave to ride.
Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September see a bit of cross-offshore wind giving clean surfaces, but the swell is a joke – 0.3ft to 1ft, and the period is all over the place. The combined energy barely ticks over (1 to 73). Those 19-second and 20-second periods are long-period groundswell, but with almost no height, it’s just a ripple.
The pattern doesn’t change. Wednesday the 2nd through to Sunday the 7th of September continue with tiny bumps of 0.3ft to 2ft, mostly from the west-southwest. The wind is often cross-on making it lumpy and choppy. Monday the 7th morning has a strong offshore breeze (25 mph) from the southeast, which cleans things up, but the swell is just 0.7ft – it’s clean but you’d be paddling for nothing. The combined energy stays pathetic (3 to 28).
From Tuesday the 8th of September right through to Sunday the 13th of September, it goes completely flat. The guidance shows zero swell height and zero wave energy for several days in a row, just clean wind lines and strong offshore breezes. There’s no surf at all.
This is a classic blank run for this area – Gantheaume Point rarely breaks, and this forecast proves it. There are no standout options, nothing worth paddling for. Keep your board in the car, check back for the next swell.
