The Lowdown
Righto, where do I start? Honestly, not much to get excited about. Gantheaume Point (Broome) is a beach and point setup that rarely breaks, and for the entire 16-day window, the surf is basically a no-show. There’s a big gap of flat, poor conditions right through from Thursday 23rd July all the way to the end of the month. You’re looking at a solid week and a half of clean, offshore winds but with zero waves to ride.
The first tiny hint of life shows up on Saturday 1st August with a 0.3ft westerly swell, but it’s a 17-second period groundswell with combined energy of just 6 (weak). That’s not enough to push a paddle board, let alone a surfboard. The wind swings onshore in the afternoon, so it’s a write-off.
We get a few more days of the same tiny 0.3ft westerly pulses through to Wednesday 5th August, but the energy stays pathetic (3 to 5). The one morning that stands out is Tuesday 4th August – glassy with some clouds and almost no wind, but the swell is still just 0.3ft. It’s clean, but it’s flat.
The best of the worst comes on Thursday 6th August morning: a glassy, 0.3ft northerly swell with a period of 8 seconds. That’s short-period windswell, but combined energy is a measly 1. It’s a long shot for a knee-high ripple, and the onshore wind hits by afternoon.
For a beginner spot that rarely breaks, this is a classic blank run. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. The wind is often offshore or cross-offshore, which would be perfect if there was any swell. As it stands, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, but even then, there’s not enough wind energy.
Keep an eye on the charts, but don’t hold your breath. This is a tough one.
