The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, checking in on the surf for Gantheaume Point. Let’s be honest, this isn’t a week to get excited about. It’s flat, it’s weak, and the wind is mostly against us. But let’s break it down.
Water temp is right around 73°, which is a touch cooler than usual for this time of year – about 3° off the norm. It’s noticeable, so grab a bit of extra rubber if you’ve got it.
The whole stretch from now through the weekend is pretty dead. Swell heights are barely a ripple – 0.3ft to 2ft – and the energy is weak, mostly single digits. There are cross-onshore winds blowing most days, which just chops up what little there is. It’s a poor surf call, plain and simple. Not worth the paddle.
There’s a brief moment on Monday morning where the wind goes glassy, and the swell bumps to 1ft, but it’s still weak. Tuesday and Wednesday bring cleaner cross-offshore winds, but the swell remains tiny – 0.3ft. You’d be surfing shadows.
The 28th (Friday) is the first decent-looking day. The morning is calm, and the afternoon has a light offshore breeze with energy reading an 8. Still, the swell is only 0.3ft. It’s clean, but marginal.
Now, the one to watch is Monday the 31st. The morning shows a long-period west swell with a 22-second interval. That’s proper groundswell energy – the reading jumps to 12. But the actual wave height is still only 0.3ft. With that long period, it might be a bit straight at this beach/point setup, but the cross-offshore wind should keep it tidy. It’s the best option in a pretty average stretch, but it’s a week and a half out, so treat it as a “maybe” rather than a plan.
After that, it’s more of the same. Tuesday the 1st has a bit more energy in the water – the reading hits 58 in the afternoon – but it’s still tiny waves. Clean winds, but no push.
So, bottom line: this is a flat, quiet spell for Gantheaume Point. It’s a break that rarely turns on, so a run like this isn’t surprising. The surf just isn’t there. If you’re keen, maybe look at kiting, because for paddle surfing, it’s a washout. But forecasts change, and this spot can come alive – it just needs a proper swell. Keep the hope, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty out.
