The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m calling it as I see it: it’s a pretty grim run for waves around here. The whole 16-day window is a very quiet stretch. We’ve got a few tiny pulses of swell, but nothing that’s going to get you out of bed. The first proper surf I can recommend is actually a no-show – the whole period is basically a flat spell with a few tiny 0.3ft ripples.
Gantheaume Point (Broome) is the only spot on the cards, and it rarely breaks. That’s the reality of this place. The water temp is sitting at 73°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – about 3°F cooler than the long-term average, so you’ll feel that extra bite.
The first record shows Tuesday, 21 July with a tiny 0.3ft swell from the west, a period of 13 seconds, and combined wave energy of just 3 (weak). That’s not surf. It’s the same story on Wednesday morning, and by Wednesday afternoon there’s nothing. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday – all flat. The next tiny flicker shows up on Sunday, 26 July morning with 0.3ft from the west, period 15 seconds, energy 4 – still not worth a paddle. The offshore winds on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons (ESE 12 mph and SE 9 mph) would give clean conditions, but there’s simply no wave to ride.
The pattern continues right through to the end. By Saturday, 1 August morning we get 0.3ft at 18 seconds, energy 7, with a light cross-off breeze from the SSW at 9 mph – clean, but still just a dribble. For the first week of August, the tiny west swell sticks around 0.3ft with periods between 13 and 20 seconds, but the energy never gets above 8. The winds are often cross-onshore from the WSW or W, so it’s choppy as well.
There’s no standout here. The best on offer would be the very small, clean windows when the wind is offshore, but you’d need a longboard and a lot of patience for waves that barely break. This is a long stretch of flat, calm conditions. For a spot that rarely breaks, a blank run like this is pretty normal.
Rusty.
