The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you—this stretch of the calendar is a flat spell. The whole 16-day run from Sunday, August 23rd, right through to Monday, September 7th, is a write-off for any proper surf. Not a single decent wave on offer.
Gantheaume Point (Broome) is a beach and point set-up that only rarely breaks, and you can see why. The swell is tiny, mostly hanging around 0.3ft to 2ft, and the combined energy of all swells directed here is in the single digits or low teens—weak energy (4 to 19). The swell direction is a messy mix of WSW, W, and NW, with periods all over the shop from 2 seconds to 20 seconds, but none of it matters because the heights are just too small to do anything. On top of that, the wind is often cross-on or onshore, making it choppy or messy. You get a few clean windows with offshore or cross-off breezes, like on the morning of Tuesday, August 25th (ESE 12 mph) or Wednesday, August 26th (ESE 9 mph offshore), but the swell is still a pathetic 0.3ft to 0.7ft. Water temperature is 74°, which is about average for the time of year, with a slight anomaly of -1°.
There’s nothing here for a surfer. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing when the wind picks up, especially on those afternoons with 12–16 mph cross-onshore winds. But for a wave? It’s a blank run. This area tends to see these quiet spells, so it’s not unusual. We’ll have to wait for a change in the forecast.
Rusty.
