The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a tough watch for anyone looking to paddle out around here. The only spot in the game is Gantheaume Point (Broome) and it's a rare one that barely ever breaks, so this kind of dry spell is pretty normal for the area.
Looking at the whole run, we're staring down a solid two weeks of flatness. From Friday the 24th of July all the way through to the end of the month, the swell is a complete zero. The wind is mostly blowing hard from the east, sometimes offshore, which would be great if there was a wave. But there isn't. So we just get clean, flat water.
Then, creeping into August, we finally see a tiny pulse. On Saturday the 1st of August, the afternoon shows a whisper of a swell from the west at about 0.3 ft, with a period of 14 seconds. The combined energy is basically nothing (4). Even with light offshore winds from the east-southeast at 9 mph, it's still labelled "poor surf conditions." This tiny, long-period groundswell will barely move the water at a point break, but it's unlikely to wrap in with any shape.
The following days are more of the same. Sunday the 2nd, Monday the 3rd, and Tuesday the 4th of August all offer that same weak 0.3 ft west swell. The periods stay around 13-14 seconds, but the energy is just too low (3-4). The early part of Tuesday the 4th is glassy as a mirror with zero wind, but you can't surf flat water. That morning would be a beautiful time for a swim, not a surf.
From Wednesday the 5th of August onwards, the swell disappears again completely. The wind swings around to the southwest and west-southwest, creating a messy cross-shore chop. The final day of the outlook, Saturday the 8th of August, teases us with another glassy morning and a tiny 0.3 ft, 14-second west swell, but again, with energy at just 4, it's not going to be worth the drive.
Honestly, there's not a single standout session here. If you're desperate, the best bet is the glassy morning of Tuesday the 4th of August, when the tiny 0.3 ft west swell is at its cleanest, but even then, it's a long shot. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so the wait won't be a cold one, at least. Keep your eyes on the charts, but for now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.
