The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you—this 16-day window for the Broome area is a real tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with hardly any surf worth paddling out for. The only break on the cards is Gantheaume Point (Broome), and it’s a spot that rarely breaks, so a blank run like this isn’t unusual for the region. The first decent hint of swell shows up on Sunday the 30th of August, but it’s a letdown.
Overall Pattern: We’ve got a whole lot of nothing for the first week. The surf is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy is flat. It stays that way right through to the end of the forecast. There’s no real standout, but if you’re desperate, there are a couple of windows of clean conditions with offshores.
Sunday, August 30: Sunday morning at Gantheaume Point you’ll find glassy conditions with a weak 0.3ft swell from the west, but the wave energy is barely there (5). Water temp is 77°, which is about average for this time of year. The afternoon turns average, with a cross-onshore breeze ruining any chance of a wave. Not worth it.
Monday, August 31 to Saturday, September 5: Nothing but poor surf. The swell stays below 2ft, period is short (3 seconds), and the wind is consistently onshore or cross-onshore. The combined energy stays in the single digits to low teens—weak as dishwater.
Sunday, September 6 to Monday, September 7: Still tiny. Monday the 7th morning sees a fresh offshore wind from the southeast (35 km/h) cleaning things up, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft from the west-southwest with a 7-second period. Wave energy is only 10. It’s clean, but there’s almost nothing to ride. Best for beginners? Even then, it’s a struggle.
Tuesday, September 8 to Friday, September 11: Another run of cross-offshore and offshore wind, with the swell dropping to 0.3ft. Wave energy is in the 3-5 range. Friday the 11th afternoon turns glassy with no swell at all (0 energy). A flat, beautiful ocean.
Saturday, September 12 to Monday, September 14: A tiny 0.3ft west swell shows up, but Saturday morning’s cross-offshore wind keeps it clean. The period stretches to 18 seconds on Saturday morning (11 combined energy) and 17 seconds in the afternoon (10 energy). That long-period groundswell might look nice, but on a beach-and-point setup like Gantheaume Point, it’ll break too straight and there’s barely any height. Offshore winds on Monday the 14th afternoon (20 km/h) keep it clean, but again—0.3ft.
Bottom Line: There are no strong options. The best of a bad lot is Monday, September 7 morning with clean offshore wind and the largest swell of the period (1ft), and Saturday, September 12 with long-period energy and clean conditions. But with the swell so small and the break rarely breaking, this is a time to find other hobbies. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing during the windier afternoons.
Stay patient, folks. Forecasts change.
Rusty.
