The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Look, I’ll level with you – the next 16 days are a flat spell for Gantheaume Point (Broome). There’s just no surf to get excited about. The whole window is a write-off for paddle surfing. The combined swell energy barely cracks double digits, with the highest reading sitting at just 13 (weak energy). The swell heights are tiny, mostly 0.3 ft to 2 ft, and the periods are short and messy, except for a few longer-period pulses that still don’t bring any size.
Sunday 30 August starts with a glassy 0.3 ft west swell at 13 seconds, but it’s poor surf. The wind stays light and variable through the morning, but the swell is too small to do anything with. The afternoon turns choppy as a cross-onshore WNW breeze picks up to 12 mph.
Monday 31 August is glassy again in the morning with a tiny 0.7 ft WSW swell, but it’s a dud. The afternoon goes onshore at 12 mph and the swell drops off.
Tuesday 1 September through the rest of the first week and into the second: it’s a rinse and repeat. Mostly clear skies, small swell, and cross-onshore or onshore winds in the afternoons. The combined energy stays below 10 most days. The only mornings with clean conditions are when the wind is cross-off from the east, but the swell is still 0.3 ft – not enough to even call it a wave.
This break “rarely breaks” as it is, so a blank run like this is normal for the area. If you’re desperate for a splash, the water temp is about average for this time of year, but honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing when the afternoon sea breezes crank up.
If you’re a surfer, save the petrol. The forecasts can change, but right now there’s nothing to ride.
Rusty.
