Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s happening for the Broome coast.
Gantheaume Point (Broome) is the only spot in the picture, and to be honest, it’s been a quiet spell. This is a beach and point set-up that rarely breaks, and that’s the story for the whole 16-day run. The water temp is about 74°, which is a bit cooler than usual for this time of year.
We’re looking at a long, empty stretch with no real surf to speak of. From Sunday the 5th all the way through Monday the 20th, every session shows tiny swell at 0.3 ft, with just one little bump to 1 ft on the afternoon of Sunday the 12th. That 1 ft comes from the WNW with a period of only 3 seconds – short-period, weak energy that’s not worth chasing. The combined energy never goes above single digits (max 6), so it’s barely a ripple.
Winds are often cross-off or offshore, especially in the mornings, and there are a few glassy moments early on Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th. But when the swell is that small, clean conditions don’t change the fact there’s nothing to ride.
No standout days here. The whole period is a blank. For this spot, that’s not unusual – Gantheaume is inconsistent by nature. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a good time to take a break.
