The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let me give you the same picture in feet and miles.
Mate, I’m looking at the next 16 days and it’s a real bummer. The only spot we’ve got is Gantheaume Point (Broome) , a beach-and-point that, by the looks of it, rarely breaks. And this forecast backs that up.
From Sunday 6 September all the way to Monday 21 September, every single session is marked as "poor surf conditions." The swell is tiny – mostly around 0.3ft to 2ft – and it’s all coming from the west or west-southwest. The combined wave energy is weak, topping out at 59, which is nothing. The period is all over the place; sometimes a short 3 seconds, other times a long 18 seconds, but with no height, the long waits just mean you’re sitting on a flat ocean.
The wind is a mess. For most of the run, it’s cross-onshore or onshore, blowing anywhere from 9 mph to 19 mph, keeping the surface lumpy and choppy. The only clean window is Saturday 12 September morning, when the wind goes light and offshore, but the swell is still just 0.3ft. That’s a mirror, not a wave.
The water temp is about average for the season.
There are no standout days. None. For a break that rarely works anyway, this is just one of those stretches where the ocean goes quiet. If you’re keen, a kite might have fun, but for a proper surf, don’t bother.
Chin up, forecasts change.
Rusty.
