The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions, and the few times a little bump shows up, it’s not going to be worth your time.
The water’s sitting at about 70°F, which is a solid 6°F colder than usual for this time of year – that’s a big deal, so make sure you’ve got the right rubber on if you even bother getting wet.
We’re looking at a real dry spell. From the start of the period through the 6th, there’s essentially nothing. A tiny 0.3ft to 1ft blip on the 4th and 5th is a no-go, and it’s flat again on the 6th. The energy is just pathetic, with combined swell energy readings as low as 1 to 3 (weak). You’d be wasting your time.
The morning of the 7th at Gantheaume Point (Broome) teases us with a glassy 0.3ft and a long 16-second period, but it’s just too small to surf. That’s a recurring theme – clean and tiny, and that’s about it.
The weekend of the 8th and 9th stays poor. The 8th afternoon has a 2ft bump but with a short 3-second period and a choppy cross-onshore wind, it’s ugly. Not worth it.
From the 10th through the 15th, it’s mostly flat, with only a few 0.3ft readings. The wind picks up, sometimes fresh offshore, but there’s no swell to groom. The combined energy stays in the weak zone, between 0 and 3.
The 16th and into the 17th, we start to see a little more consistency in the data, with 0.3ft waves rolling in from the west with a 15-second period. The energy is still low, at 4, but the morning of the 17th has that glassy feel you want. Still, 0.3ft is nothing to get excited about. This continues through the 19th, with the period stretching out to 19 seconds on the afternoon of the 19th, but it’s still only 0.3ft and the onshore wind is killing it.
So, bottom line: This is a blank run. There’s no standout surf in the next 16 days. For a spot that rarely breaks anyway, it’s not unusual to see it this quiet. But the longer period swells showing up in the second week are a hint that the ocean is thinking about waking up. Forecasts can change, so don’t write the whole month off yet, but for now, leave the board in the car. - Rusty
