The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here.
Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next 16 days at Broome are a tough watch for any surfer. We’ve got one spot in the mix, Gantheaume Point, but it’s a rare breaker that needs a lot to come together, and this forecast just isn’t giving it the love. The whole period is basically a write-off for decent waves, with near-flat conditions and the wind always on the wrong angle.
The water temp is sitting at 79°F with a anomaly of 3°F warmer than usual, so it’s a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, but that doesn’t help the lack of swell.
Starting from Monday the 7th of September, we see a tiny 2ft swell from the west with a short period of 7 seconds and energy of just 44, but it’s blown out by a cross-onshore W wind at 15 mph – messy and not worth paddling out. The next couple of weeks are a dead run: Tuesday the 8th has a 1ft swell with 6 mph cross-onshore, and it only gets smaller. Wednesday the 9th offers a 0.7ft swell with SW cross-shore wind, but the wave comment says it all – poor surf conditions. Every session through the end of the month is scored zero, with heights barely touching 2ft and the wind always cross-on or onshore. The stray swells that pop up have periods of 3 to 6 seconds, meaning no power and no shape. On the 22nd of September, we get the biggest combined energy of 23, but it’s attached to a 2ft swell and a fresh cross-onshore wind – still hopeless.
The only flicker of hope comes on the morning of the 14th, Friday the 18th, and Saturday the 19th when the wind goes glassy or cross-offshore, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft – you might get a tiny ripple but nothing rideable. There are no standouts here, mate. This is a blank run that suits the area’s reputation – Gantheaume Point rarely breaks, and with no decent swell and poor wind, it’s a kitesurfer’s dream, not a surfer’s. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave your board on the rack.
Rusty.
