The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here again, lookin’ at the same stretch of coast. Straight up, this 16-day window is a dead zone for surf. There’s a stretch of days with nothin’ at all, then a few tiny bumps that barely register. The first hint of a wave ain’t until Sunday, August 2nd, and it’s tiny. So we’re lookin’ at a few days of flat, empty water.

The only break in the mix is Gantheaume Point (Broome), a beach and point that rarely breaks, so a blank run like this is normal for the area. Water temp is 71°, which is a whopping 5° colder than usual for this time of year – that’s real cold, so you’ll need a thick wetsuit if you’re thinkin’ about goin’ in.

On Sunday, August 2nd, there’s a wisp of a swell – 0.3ft from the west with a 12-second period, but the energy is barely there (combined energy of 3). The morning wind is a cross-off from the east at 19 mph, so it’s clean but blown out. The afternoon sees an offshore from the ESE at 12 mph, which is a bit better, but still, the swell is just a ripple. Not worth wettin’ a suit.

Tuesday, August 4th, we get another 0.3ft west swell, again 12-second period, again just 3 combined energy. The morning glass-off from the east at 3 mph on Wednesday, August 5th is the closest we get to a smooth surface, but with 0.3ft waves, it’s more of a pond. The afternoon brings a 1ft pulse from the WNW with a 3-second period – that’s windswell, sloppy and weak.

From Thursday, August 6th onward, there’s a few more days with little 1ft to 2ft bumps, mostly from the west or southwest, but the period is short (3 to 5 seconds) and the combined energy only gets up to 9 at best. The wind is often onshore or cross-shore, choppin’ up what little is there. The standout moment on paper is Friday, August 7th morning with glassy conditions and a 0.3ft, 15-second swell – that’s a long-period groundswell, but it’s so tiny you’d need binoculars. The afternoon picks up to 2ft but with a 3-second period and strong cross-shore wind, it’s a messy, close-out mess.

There’s no real standout here. The biggest swell we see is 2ft, and that’s with terrible period and often bad wind. The best I could say is maybe Sunday, August 9th afternoon, with 1ft from the WSW and a 5-second period, combined energy of 9, but the wind is moderate cross-shore, so it’s a chop fest. Not for the faint-hearted.

Given the tiny swell and poor quality, this is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one, especially when the wind picks up. I’ll be honest – don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s flat.

Rusty.
