The Lowdown

Gantheaume Point (Broome) is looking pretty flat and gutless for the foreseeable future, mate. The swell energy is weak, with combined energy readings mostly in the single digits, and the wave heights just aren't there. The water temperature is sitting at 79°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit, just a whole lot of patience.

Right now, Tuesday the 8th, we've got a 1ft cross-onshore slop with a short 6-second period, and it's not going to improve much. We're looking at a run of poor surf for the next several days, with only knee-high dribble and waves that are breaking with periods under 8 seconds. This spot rarely breaks as it is, and with this lack of swell, it's just not happening. The wind will be a constant issue, mostly cross-onshore or straight onshore, chopping up the already tiny surf.

There is a brief glassy patch on Saturday the 12th morning, with no wind and a tiny 0.3ft swell, but it's so small it's not worth paddling out for. The same goes for Sunday the 13th morning. We'll see these windows of calm, but there's no real swell to push through. The afternoons are consistently ruined by moderate onshore breezes.

As we move into the second week, the story is the same. The morning of Monday the 14th has a slightly longer period of 18 seconds, but the swell height is still a pathetic 0.3ft, so there's nothing to get excited about. Early on the 16th, we get a light cross-offshore wind, which is a positive sign, but again, the swell is just absent. This is a classic flat spell for the area. The 21st and 22nd see the swell bump up to 1ft-2ft, but it's riddled with cross-onshore and onshore winds, and the energy is still weak, so the surf will be a mess. Don't get your hopes up for any standout sessions in this whole run. The setup looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard, if anything.

This is a long stretch of nothing. I'd say keep the board in the car, but maybe don't drive to the coast for it. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is as poor as it gets.
