Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's shaping up for our neck of the woods. I've gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a bit of a bummer. We've got a long, quiet spell on the cards.
Looking at the overall pattern, we're in for a real flat spell. The first solid recommendation doesn't roll around until a good way into the period. In fact, from now right through to the start of the second week, the energy is just not there.
Things don't really get moving until Saturday morning, July 11th. Even then, we're not talking about pumping surf. The main option we have to look at is Gantheaume Point (Broome). This is a beach and point break that rarely breaks, so any rideable wave is a bit of a treat. It faces WNW and is exposed, which is what we need.
The water at Gantheaume Point is sitting at 74°F, which is a notable 4°F colder than normal for this time of year. So you'll want a decent wettie if you're heading out.
For that first sniff of surf on Saturday the 11th, the morning shows a tiny 0.3ft swell from the west with a long period of 16 seconds (groundswell). The combined energy is weak (9), and the wind is a light southwesterly, giving us a cross-off breeze. It'll be clean with that long-period energy, which can mean better-shaped waves and longer lulls between sets.
Through the following days, we see the same story: tiny 0.3ft west swell. The best conditions look to be on Sunday morning, July 12th when we get some offshore winds out of the southeast at 19 mph, keeping it fresh and clean. That continues into the afternoon with strong offshore easterlies. This pattern of small, clean waves and fresh offshore winds looks set to continue through most of the following week, with a solid 19-28 mph easterly breeze keeping things clean but small.
Honestly, none of this is going to blow your hair back. The swell never gets above 0.3ft, so you're not going to find any standouts. If you're a beginner, these tiny, clean waves on the low tide might be good for a splash, but for anyone looking for a proper wave, it's a blank run. This sort of flat stretch is pretty normal for the area during this time.
Because the swell is so minimal and the wind is often ripping, Gantheaume Point looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on some of those afternoons.
Keep your eyes on the charts, boys and girls. It tends not to stay this flat forever, and a change in the forecast could turn things around.
Rusty.
