The Lowdown
G’day, this is Rusty. Look, I’m gonna level with you straight up: the next 16 days are a write-off for any sort of decent wave-riding. There’s nothing on the cards. The first recommendation we get is for Gantheaume Point (Broome), but it’s a place that rarely breaks, and even when it does, the conditions are rubbish. The whole stretch from now through to Sunday the 17th of August is a long, flat, frustrating gap. Not a single session worth paddling out for. The wind is often howling cross-off or cross-on, and even when it looks glassy or clean, there’s no real swell to work with. For a spot that’s exposed to the WNW, the swell never gets above 1 ft, and the period is often short and gutless. The combined energy is a measly single-digit value (3 to 7), which is about as weak as it gets. Water temp is sitting at 69°, but that’s a huge 6° colder than normal for this time of year, so bring a thicker suit if you’re just getting wet for the fun of it. This is a beach and point setup, but with these tiny, weak waves and strong ESE winds later on, it honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There’s just no hope in the water. The spot is inconsistent and the forecasts are clear: poor surf conditions every single day. It’s a blank run, but for Broome in winter, that’s pretty normal. Keep an eye on the charts, because it tends not to stay this flat forever. Rusty.
