Table - best surf conditions forecast for Gantheaume Point (Broome) over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again. Looking at the 16-day window for Gantheaume Point (Broome), the truth is there’s just nothing happening. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, almost non-existent surf, so we’re going to be sitting through a big ol’ gap before anything even flirts with being a rideable wave. It’s one of those periods where the ocean just isn’t cooperating for paddle surfing.
The first record shows Saturday, July 11th, and the surf is flat. We’re talking a microscopic 0.3ft swell from the west, carrying some decent period at 16 seconds, but there’s just no energy behind it. The combined energy is only at 5 (weak). The water is 74°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. That’s not unusual enough to be a shock, but you’ll feel it. Winds are cross-off from the ESE at 16 mph, so it’s clean, but with nothing to ride.
This same story plays out day after day, right through the week and into the next. The swell stays stuck at 0.3ft, the period drops slightly, and the combined energy rarely climbs above a 3 or 4. The winds are mostly cross-off or offshore, so conditions are nice, but you’re just looking at a flat, glassy sea. The afternoon of Tuesday, July 21st, shows a moment of true glassy conditions with no wind at all – but still only 0.3ft of swell.
We finally see a tiny blip on Saturday, July 25th afternoon. A new 0.7ft swell from the WSW shows up, with a 16-second period and a combined energy of 26. That’s still weak, but at least it’s a number. Unfortunately, the wind swings to a cross-onshore from the WSW at 12 mph, making it choppy. The next morning, Sunday the 26th, it’s back to a 0.3ft west swell with light cross-off winds, so it’s clean again, but the energy is gone.
Honestly, this is a blank run. The entire 16-day window is a wipeout for surfers. Gantheaume Point is listed as "rarely breaks," and this forecast proves it. There is no standout, no highlight, no session to get excited about. The only thing on offer is a clean flat ocean. If you’re dead set on getting wet, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, because the wind is steady, but there’s zero wave power for a surfboard.
Rusty.
