The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the Broome area over the next couple of weeks.

Straight up, I’ve got to be honest with you – it’s a bleak stretch for Gantheaume Point. This spot is a beach and point setup, but it’s one of those rare ones that just doesn’t fire often, and this forecast proves it. For the first week, from Tuesday 28 July right through to Monday 3 August, there’s basically nothing. No swell to speak of. The wind is mostly cross-off, which would keep things clean if there were waves, but there just aren’t any. The combined energy is sitting at zero (0) for most of that time. It’s a tough start.

We finally see a tiny ripple of life on Sunday 2 August, with a 0.3 ft west swell, but the period is 12 seconds, which is a nice long groundswell. The energy is still weak though (3). The morning is clean with a cross-off easterly breeze at 30 km/h, but the surf is so tiny it’s not worth paddling for. The afternoon brings a 0.3 ft north swell at 8 seconds and a light onshore wind. Still poor.

The next few days are more of the same. Monday 3 August afternoon offers a tiny 1.0 ft WNW swell, but the period is a pathetic 3 seconds – that’s all wind chop. Not surfable. Tuesday 4 August morning has a 0.3 ft west swell with a beautiful 13-second period, but it’s a one-wave wonder. The energy is still just 3.

Wednesday 5 August morning is a tease – glassy conditions, no wind, with a 0.3 ft west swell at 12 seconds. It’d be clean as a whistle, but you’d struggle to get wet. The energy is still basically nothing (3).

From Thursday 6 August through to Wednesday 12 August, we see a slight nudge in swell size, but it’s all short-period, 2 to 5 seconds, and the energy values are still in the single digits or low teens. The biggest energy we see is 20 on Monday 10 August morning, with a 2 ft SW swell at 5 seconds. That’s weak and messy. The wind is mostly cross-on or cross, and the wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions.” The water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing to write home about.

There is no standout session here. The best on offer, and I’m stretching it, is Wednesday 12 August morning. You’ve got a 1.0 ft west swell at 5 seconds, combined energy of 7, and a clean cross-off easterly breeze at 15 km/h. It’s clean, but it’s tiny and short-period. Honestly, for most of these days, with the lack of swell and the onshore or cross-shore winds, it’d be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer if the wind is up.

So, what’s the call? The whole 16-day window is a bust. There are no good surf options. Gantheaume Point rarely breaks, and this is one of those times. It’s a blank run, and that’s normal for the area. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards at home.

Rusty.
