The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you… it’s looking grim out there for the Broome area. We’ve got a 16-day window, and I’m struggling to find a single wave worth paddling for. The whole stretch from now through to the 19th of August is basically a write-off for surf.
Let’s talk about the one spot we’ve got on the radar: Gantheaume Point (Broome). It’s a beach and point setup that rarely breaks, and honestly, this forecast proves why. For the first week, we’re looking at tiny, weak swells with a combined energy that barely registers (3 to 7). The biggest bump we see is a pathetic 0.5 ft on the Saturday afternoon, but it’s from the WNW with a 3-second period – that’s just wind chop, not surf.
The water is running at 70°, which is a massive 6° colder than normal for this time of year. That’s a very unusual chill, even for the early morning glass-offs.
There are a few windows with clean conditions, like the Tuesday morning with glassy winds, and several mornings with offshore SE winds that will keep the surface tidy. But with only 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft of swell on offer, it’s a flat, clean lake. Not a wave in sight.
The second week gets a little more interesting in terms of period – we see a long-period groundswell of 20 seconds creeping in on the 19th, with a combined energy of 30. But the swell height is still only 0.7 ft, and it’s coming with a cross-onshore wind. It’s a tease, not a session.
The bottom line is there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. None of the breaks are consistent, and a blank run like this is more normal for the area when the swell window just isn’t lining up. Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath.
