The Lowdown
Well, grab a cold one and pull up a chair, because the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a bit of a slow one. I’m lookin’ at Gantheaume Point (Broome) and, to be honest, there’s not a whole lot to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is a big ol’ dud. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly in the wrong direction, and the breaks are just not cooperating. It’s a rare spot that rarely breaks anyway, and this stretch is a perfect example of that. The water temp is sitting around 77°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least the water’s nice if you fancy a float.
The whole period is a blank run. We’re starting on Wednesday the 26th of August with a tiny 1 ft swell from the NW, a 3-second period, and a fresh 19 mph onshore wind. That’s just a messy, unrideable combo. The combined energy is a measly 3 (weak). It’s all poor surf conditions from here on out. Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th don’t offer any hope either – tiny waves, wrong winds, and all the entries are marked as poor. The same story continues through the weekend of the 29th and 30th of August, with the best being a glassy, windless morning on the 30th, but with a swell of only 0.3 ft, there’s nothing to ride. The combined energy is still just 4 (weak).
The start of September is no better. Monday the 31st of August and Tuesday the 1st of September see some clean offshore winds from the east, but the swell is still flat at 0.3 ft, so it’s just a clean, flat ocean. The rest of the first week of September, right through to the 10th, is the same old story: tiny swells, wrong wind directions, and poor surf conditions across the board. The only slight variation is a bit of a bump in the wind, but the swell never gets above 2 ft. The energy values are all in the weak range, mostly single or low double digits. There’s just no surfable energy in the water.
Honestly, for a surfer, this is a write-off. With the consistent onshore and cross-onshore winds, and the tiny, weak swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a tough stretch. Hang tight, mates.
