The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty.
Alright mate, let’s have a look at what’s cooking. Straight up, this forecast is a tough one. Over the next 16 days, there’s not a single window of decent, rideable surf on the cards. The energy is just not there, and when it does try to build, the wind and conditions are all wrong. You’re looking at a long, flat spell with poor surf quality right through to the start of September.
We kick off on Tuesday the 18th of August at Gantheaume Point (Broome). It’s a beginner-friendly break but it rarely breaks, and that’s the story here. The water is sitting at 72°F, which is 3°F cooler than average for this time of year – so a bit colder than normal for a dip. Tuesday morning has a tiny 0.3ft swell from the west with a 12-second period, but the combined swell energy is next to nothing (3). Winds are glassy though, so it’s flat and clean. Tuesday afternoon gets a tiny 1ft cross-swell, but it’s a messy 3-second period and cross-shore winds at 12 mph make it choppy.
Wednesday the 19th is more of the same – morning has a 0.3ft west swell with a 19-second period (energy still just 7). The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. Afternoon gets worse with stronger cross-shore winds.
Thursday the 20th through to Sunday the 30th of August is a relentless run of tiny west and southwest swells, most under 2ft, with short periods and weak energy (mostly single-digit readings). The wind is nearly always cross-onshore or onshore, keeping things choppy and blown out. There’s nothing here for a surfer.
Even the last few days – Monday the 31st of August and Tuesday the 1st of September – offer nothing. The swell remains tiny (0.3ft to 1ft), and while there are periods of clean offshore winds on the 31st morning and 1st morning (ESE 9-12 mph), there’s simply no wave height to work with.
Because this break rarely breaks, a long stretch of nothing isn’t surprising. There are no good surf options in this entire 16-day window. The only thing worth noting is that with persistent small swell and cross-shore winds, the setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, leave the board at home.
Rusty.
