The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up for the Broome region.
Well, I’ll be honest with you, the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. We've got Gantheaume Point (Broome) on the radar, but it's a spot that *rarely breaks* and this stretch is no exception. The wave energy is practically non-existent, and the scores are all zeros across the board. We're talking a long, blank run with nothing worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 77°, which is about normal for this time of year, so you can't even blame a cold snap.
There are a couple of moments that might catch your eye if you were desperate. On the morning of the 2nd of September, we see some light wind conditions – the glassy kind – with a 5 (weak) combined swell energy and a little 0.3 ft swell from the west. The period is a decent 16 seconds, hinting at some long-period groundswell, but the size just isn't there. Then again, on the morning of the 8th of September, there's a brief window of moderate offshore wind from the ESE, with a combined energy hitting 11 (weak) and a 1 ft swell. Even then, the forecast still calls it poor surf conditions. It might be clean, but there's nothing to ride.
For kite surfers, the consistent onshore afternoon breezes, especially the 18-22 mph winds on the 4th and 5th of September, might look more interesting than anything we've got for a paddle. For the rest of us, it's a wait-and-see game.
