The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day outlook for the Broome area is a tough one. The only break on the radar is Gantheaume Point, and it’s rarely breaking, so we’re looking at a long stretch of flat, unrideable conditions. The first few days offer a tiny pulse of 0.3ft swell from the west, but it’s basically a non-starter. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing special.
From Wednesday 15 July through to Tuesday 22 July, we’ve got a persistent 0.3ft west swell with a period around 12 to 14 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell, but it’s just not enough height to push past the shorebreak. The combined energy is weak, sitting at 4 to 6 (4–6) at best, so there’s no real power. The wind is mostly cross-off or offshore from the east and southeast, sometimes a fresh breeze at 22 mph, which would keep it clean if there was any wave to ride. There’s a brief moment on Sunday 19 July afternoon where it goes glassy, but still, no swell to speak of. The break is a beach and point setup, but it rarely breaks, so this is a blank run that’s more normal for the area.
From Wednesday 23 July to Thursday 30 July, it gets even worse – the swell height disappears entirely, with zero energy (0) and no waves at all. The wind stays cross-off or offshore, but it doesn’t matter. The only slight flicker is on Sunday 26 July morning, with a 0.3ft west swell and a very long period of 16 seconds, but the combined energy is a measly 5 (5), and it’s still poor surf. Honestly, this whole period is a write-off for surfing. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the consistent offshore winds and flat water.
If you’re desperate, the best on offer is a toss-up between the glassy Sunday afternoon on 19 July or the light offshore Tuesday afternoon on 21 July, but both are still tiny 0.3ft. There’s no standout here. The forecast can always change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long, but for now, leave the boards at home.
