The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you—this one’s a tough watch for the next couple of weeks. The whole 16-day window is looking grim, with barely a ripple on offer at Gantheaume Point (Broome). This spot is a beach and point setup that *rarely breaks* anyway, and the forecast isn't doing it any favours. For the first week and a half, from Saturday the 25th of July right through to Monday the 3rd of August, there’s virtually no swell to speak of—wave energy is sitting at zero (0), with only the odd tiny pulse barely registering. The water temperature is sitting at 71°F, which is 5°F colder than normal for this time of year, so that’s a proper chilly anomaly for a tropical spot. You’d be going in for a swim, not a surf.
Come Tuesday the 4th of August, things stay pathetic. The combined swell energy is barely a whisper, with values like 1, 2, or 3 in brackets, and the swells that do show up are short-period junk—2 to 4 seconds—or long-period but tiny, like 0.3ft from the west with a 13-second period. That long-period groundswell would be straight and hard to catch at a beach-and-point break, and the winds are mostly cross or cross-on, with moderate breezes making it choppy. Even the offshore days on the 8th and 9th of August, with clean conditions and light to moderate offshore winds from the ESE, only deliver 0.3ft—nothing to paddle for.
There’s simply no standout session here. If you’re desperate, the morning of Sunday the 9th of August has a 0.3ft west swell with 13-second period and offshore-style cross-off winds from the ESE at 25 mph, but that’s a joke for surfing. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the persistent breezes. For a spot like Gantheaume Point that rarely breaks, a blank run like this is more normal than not. Forecasts can change, but right now? Leave the boards at home.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Gantheaume Point (Broome) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
