The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at this stretch ahead.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, I’ve got to be straight with you – there’s next to nothing on offer. The only break that’s even in the picture is Gantheaume Point (Broome), and it’s a spot that rarely breaks. That’s not a good sign. For the first few days, the swell is tiny, the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the wave energy is bottomed out. We’re talking about swell heights of 0.3 ft to 1 ft and combined energy readings all below 10 – that’s weak. The water temperature is sitting at 71°F, which is a full 5°F colder than normal for this time of year, so definitely colder than usual.
This is a long, flat run. There’s a gap of several days with no real surf. Around Thursday, August 9th, the wind switches to a clean offshore from the SE at 16 mph, but the swell is still just 0.3 ft with a 14-second period. That’s a long-period groundswell, but there’s no height to push it. The wave energy is still only 8. It’s a tease.
The best chance, if you can call it that, comes on Friday, August 21st in the afternoon. The swell is 0.7 ft from the west with a 16-second period, the combined energy finally bumps up to 20, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the ESE at 16 mph. That’s the highest energy reading in the whole forecast, but it’s still weak. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a very long shot.
If you’re an absolute beginner who just wants to feel the water, maybe the Sunday morning, August 9th, with the offshore wind, would be the cleanest option, but it’s not really surfable. For a kite surfer, the stronger winds and choppy conditions on days like August 6th or 8th might be more interesting than paddling. For proper surfing, this is a blank run. It’s normal for this area at this time of year.
Rusty.
