The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it's a flat spell for Broome. Looking at the whole 16-day window, there's not a single session worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, barely a ripple, and it's gonna stay that way.
Forget about Gantheaume Point. This spot rarely breaks as it is, and this forecast is a textbook example of why. The water temp is 74°, which is about normal for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that's average. The combined wave energy is so weak it barely hits double digits, and most days it’s sitting at a pathetic 1 to 7 in the bracket. It’s just not happening.
We start with Tuesday morning (11th August), and it’s flat with a light cross-shore. Tuesday afternoon? Choppy 1ft dribble. Wednesday the 12th has some strong offshore wind, but the swell is 0.3ft – you can’t surf wind. Thursday and Friday are more of the same: tiny scraps of swell with onshore or cross-onshore winds. The whole first week is a dead loss.
The second week doesn't bring any hope. From the 17th through to the 26th of August, it’s the same story. A few early mornings go glassy, like the 20th and the 22nd, but there’s no push. We get a tiny 0.3ft pulse from the west with a long period (13-15 seconds) on a few mornings, but it's not enough to wrap around into the point. The afternoon sea breezes just chop up what little is there.
Honestly, for this region, a blank run like this is pretty normal. It’s not going to stay this way forever, forecasts can shift, but for now, the only thing breaking is the heat. No standouts, no hope, just flat.
Rusty.
