The Lowdown
Gantheaume Point (Broome) is a beach and point setup that rarely breaks, and this 16-day window is a tough one. There’s really nothing rideable on offer. The swell stays tiny and the wind is mostly cross or onshore, so you’re looking at a lot of straight lines and chop. The water’s sitting at 79°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year—nothing crazy, but notable.
The first few days, from Tuesday afternoon through Thursday, are poor. Swell is bumping around 0.3ft to 1ft, with periods of 3 seconds—basically windslop. The wind is cross-onshore, 5–20 km/h, so it’s choppy and messy. Not worth getting wet.
Friday stays flat with 0.3ft and a 15-second period, but the energy is weak and the wind is still cross-shore. Saturday picks up a little to 1–2ft from the SW, but it’s short-period and cross-shore, still messy. Sunday sees the same, with the wind turning onshore from the WNW at 20 km/h.
Monday the 14th through Wednesday the 16th: more of the same. Tiny, weak, cross-onshore and onshore wind. The 0.3ft pulses with long periods (13–17 seconds) show up in the mornings, but the energy is nothing—combined energy in the single digits. It’s a lot of effort for nothing.
Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th mornings are clean and cross-offshore, but the swell is just 0.3ft with a 13-14 second period. It’s glassy but flat. The afternoons get blown out with 25 km/h onshores.
The second week stays grim. From the 19th to the 23rd, the swell never gets above 2ft, and that’s with a 4-second period. The wind is cross to onshore, and on the 21st and 23rd afternoons there’s a fresh 30 km/h onshore blow. The combined energy is weak, mostly in the 3–10 range, occasionally nudging up to 14 on the 20th morning, but even then it’s still poor quality.
Honestly, there’s nothing here for a surfer. This spot rarely breaks, and this stretch is as blank as it gets. If you’re desperate, the clean mornings with the 0.3ft groundswell might give you a knee-high ripple, but that’s not a wave. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on the bigger wind days, but even that’s marginal.
Keep an eye on the forecast—these flat spells don’t usually last forever, but this blank run is a normal stretch for the area. No standouts, no gems. Just wind and no swell.
