The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is a tough stretch. The forecast shows a long, frustrating gap with no real surf on offer. From now until the 31st of July, you’ll be staring at a flat ocean most days, with tiny 0.3ft lumps of swell that just don’t have the energy to light up the break. The combined swell energy is down in the low single digits (3-6) – that’s barely a ripple. The only consistent thing here is the wind, which is often strong and cross-off from the east, making it tricky for a spot that rarely breaks anyway.
Gantheaume Point (Broome) is a beach and point setup that is notoriously inconsistent, and this forecast proves it. The water temperature is sitting at 73°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a spring suit. The best you’ll see is a tiny bump of 0.3ft swell from the west with a 20-second period on the 31st of July, and even that has poor surf conditions attached to it. The wind then is light and cross-off, but it’s not enough to make a difference.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. The whole 16-day window is a bust. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, a blank run like this is just business as usual. Don’t hold your breath; the forecasts can change, but right now, it’s looking like a write-off.
Rusty.
