The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for this stretch of coast.

We’re looking at a pretty grim run of surf. The pickings are so slim there’s only one spot to talk about, and even that one’s a real gamble. There’s nothing on the cards for the next 16 days that gets me excited. The first few days have a tiny bit of swell, but it’s so weak you’d be struggling to get a ride. From the 23rd of July onwards, there’s a long stretch with zero swell at all – that’s a solid week-plus of flatness. Even when the occasional 0.3ft pulse shows up, the combined energy is laughable, down in the single digits. It’s a tough run for this area.

The only break in the mix is Gantheaume Point (Broome). It’s a beach and point setup, but it’s a finicky one – it rarely breaks. The swell direction is a westerly, which is what it wants, but the size just isn’t there. The water temp is sitting at 73°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent spring suit.

Over the first weekend, the 19th and 20th of July, you get a 0.3ft West swell with a 13-second period. The wind is offshore on the afternoons, which is a positive, but with wave energy so low, it’s barely moving. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. The afternoon of the 20th sees a light breeze and offshore wind, making it glassy, but again, no real wave.

The 21st of July is more of the same: 0.3ft, clean conditions, but zero power. The 22nd afternoon goes completely flat.

From the 23rd of July right through to the 31st, the swell is either non-existent or so small it’s not worth a mention. The 30th of July morning actually goes glassy, but there’s no swell at all. The 31st of July morning brings a tiny 0.7ft pulse from the WSW, but with a short 3-second period and cross-shore wind, it’s just a messy, choppy nothing.

The first weekend of August, the 1st and 2nd, sees a little bump. The 1st has a 0.3ft West swell but with a very long 20-second period, which is more of a groundswell. That long period can make it tricky at a beach break like this, as it tends to close out. The energy is still weak. The 2nd of August morning has a light offshore and a 16-second period, but still only 0.3ft.

The 3rd of August morning is glassy, but again, swell is just 0.3ft with a 13-second period and next to no energy.

Best on offer? Honestly, there isn’t a standout. If you’re desperate, the afternoons of the 20th and 21st of July offer the cleanest, most offshore conditions, but you’ll be staring at a flat ocean. The 2nd of August morning in the glassy conditions is your best bet for a clean, tiny wave, but it’s a long shot for a proper ride. This is a period where the forecast can change, but right now, it’s a paddling-pool stretch.

Stay patient, Rusty.
