Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks have in store for us.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a brutal stretch. We’re looking at a dry spell that stretches all the way from now, right through to the end of the 16-day window on July 20th. There’s just nothing happening on the wave front. The first surf recommendation doesn't come for the whole period, which means we’ve got a solid 16-day gap with nothing to recommend.
The only break on the radar is Gantheaume Point (Broome). It’s a beach and point setup that’s exposed to the WNW, and that’s the direction we’d need to see a pulse from. But the numbers are flat-out grim. All we’ve got is a dribble of 0.3 ft swell the entire time. The combined energy of all swells is a measly 2 to 6 (6) for the whole window. That’s not even worth paddling for. The swell period bounces between 10 and 17 seconds, which would normally be good if there was any size, but there isn’t. The water temp is currently sitting at 74°, which is a touch colder than normal for this time of year by about 3°.
Wind-wise, it’s often clean or offshore, especially in the mornings, with easterlies in the 9 to 22 mph range. But you can have the cleanest wind in the world – if there’s no swell, there’s no surf. It’s a write-off. I’d say this stretch looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddler, purely because at least they’d have wind.
Stick with it, though. A blank run like this happens now and again, and forecasts can always change. Hang tight.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Gantheaume Point (Broome) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Gantheaume Point (Broome) surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Gantheaume Point (Broome) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
