The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. I’ve gone over the numbers for the next 16 days for Gantheaume Point in Broome, and it’s a big fat zero. There’s nothing doing.
Saturday, August 15, kicks it off with no surf. Zilch. The combined energy of all swells coming in here is a flat zero (0). Later that afternoon you get a tiny 0.4 ft (0.4m) wave from the WSW with a 3-second period, but the wind is blowing cross-onshore and it’s all choppy. That pretty much sets the tone for the whole first week. Sunday the 16th gives you a 0.5 ft (0.5m) wave from the WSW in the afternoon, but again, period is 3 seconds and it’s messy.
Come Monday the 17th and the rest of the week, it doesn’t get any better. Swell heights barely touch 0.1 ft (0.1m). You get some longer periods, like a 13-second pulse Monday morning, but with a 0.1 ft wave, that’s a long wait for a ripple. The combined swell energy never gets past a weak 12.
The water is at 22°C (72°F), which is about 2°C (3°F) colder than what’s normal for August. So it’s a bit nippy.
There is a moment on Tuesday morning, August 18, where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is still just 0.1 ft (0.1m). Friday morning, August 21, has clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze from the south, but the surf? 0.1 ft. It’s a cruel joke.
On Thursday, August 27, you get a moderate offshore wind from the ESE in the morning, and the swell direction is from the W with a 17-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, but it’s only 0.1 ft (0.1m). The combined energy is a weak 7.
Gantheaume Point is a beginner spot that rarely breaks, and this stretch is a perfect example of that. There’s no standout day, no wave to recommend. It’s a total flat spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.
