The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the Broome region.
To be straight with you, the 16-day window is a tough one. The first week or so is virtually a write-off, with next to nothing in the way of ridable swell. There’s a long gap of quiet conditions, so don't be in a rush. The only real movement starts to show up around Thursday, 13 August, but even then it’s marginal. Let’s walk through it.
From now through the first week of August, Gantheaume Point (Broome) sees mostly flat spells. Tiny bumps of 0.3ft to 1ft pop up here and there, but with periods all over the place—some as short as 2 seconds—and combined energy barely registering (0 to 5), there’s nothing to get excited about. Winds are often cross-off or cross-on, but the lack of size kills any hope. The water temperature is about 71°F, which is 5°F cooler than average for this time of year—so it’s notably chilly, and you’ll feel it.
We finally see a glimmer on Thursday, 13 August. The morning at Gantheaume Point (Broome) shows a tiny 0.3ft swell from the west with a very long period of 20 seconds, but only 8 combined energy. Not much to work with. However, the afternoon picks up a little: 1ft from the west-southwest, period 18 seconds, and combined energy jumps to 64 (moderate). Winds turn offshore from the southeast at 9 mph, keeping it clean. This is the best the whole forecast has to offer, but it’s still small. The long period means the waves will have good shape and energy for their size, but at a beach-and-point setup like this, it’s a tricky one—long period swells can close out on beach breaks but should wrap nicely around the point. Crowds are never an issue here. It’s suitable for beginners at this size, but don’t expect much push.
After that, it drops right back off into the small stuff again. The 15th of August shows 0.3ft to 0.7ft with combined energy in the single digits. Honestly, if you’re keen for a paddle, the Thursday afternoon session on 13 August is the only real standout, and even then, it’s a humble offering.
Rusty.
