The Lowdown
Gantheaume Point (Broome) is lookin’ at a pretty bleak stretch, mate. There’s no good surf on the cards for the entire 16-day window, and that’s the honest truth. The swell is barely a whisper the whole time, with the most you’ll see being a tiny 2ft blip, and that’s just not enough to push you into anything rideable. The combined energy readings are all weak, mostly in the single digits, like a 3 or a 4, which is a dead giveaway that the ocean’s got nothing to give us. Water temp is sitting at 70°F, which is a solid 5°F colder than the long-term average for this time of year—that’s a really noticeable chill in the water, so you’ll definitely want a thicker suit.
The first week is a mixed bag of tiny dribbles and cross-onshore slop. Thursday the 6th has a 1ft, 3-second windswell, but that’s just a choppy mess with a 12 mph cross-on breeze. Friday the 7th morning is glassy, but there’s nothing underneath it—just a 0.3ft ghost. The weekend brings some offshore wind, but it’s blowing over a flat ocean. The trend continues into the second week, with a few clean mornings here and there, but the swell just never shows up. The morning of Monday the 17th has a tiny 0.3ft with a 14-second period, which is a long-period groundswell, but it’s just too small to matter. The 19th of August has the biggest reading of the whole run, a 19-second period, but it’s still only 0.3ft—that’s pure frustration.
This spot is “rarely breaks” anyway, and this forecast is a perfect example of why. A blank run like this is normal for the area. With a swell that small and a mostly cross-onshore or onshore wind pattern, the setup looks far more interesting for a kite surfer than for a paddle surfer. Don’t waste the gas. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing here for us.
