The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've got to be straight with you—this stretch of the coast is looking dead flat for the next 16 days. There's no surf on offer at all.
I'm talking about Gantheaume Point (Broome) here. It's a real shame, because this spot is a beach and point setup that's exposed to the west-northwest, and it's a beginner-friendly wave when it's working. But it's a spot that rarely breaks anyway, and this forecast is a textbook example of a blank run.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We’ve got a long stretch of nothing. The whole period from Friday, 28 August through to Saturday, 12 September is a total dud. Every single morning and afternoon is marked as "poor surf conditions" with a score of zero. The swell is almost non-existent—we're talking tiny 0.3ft or 0.7ft waves with very weak combined swell energy, often in the single digits (like 7, 3, 5, 13). The swell periods are all over the shop, from short 2–4 second junk to those long 16–20 second groundswells, but with no height, the period doesn't matter.
The wind is a mixed bag too. While there are a few clean mornings with glassy or cross-offshore conditions (like the morning of Monday, 31 August, the morning of 1 September, the morning of 2 September, the morning of 8 September, the morning of 9 September, and the morning of 11 September), there's simply no wave to ride. The odd day might have a light breeze and a clean surface, but it's like a lake out there.
The closest we get to anything is the afternoon of 9 September, when the swell bumps up to 2ft from the west-southwest, with a 5-second period, and combined energy of 25 (still weak). The wind is offshore from the east-southeast, so it would be clean, but 2ft is still tiny. It’s not worth paddling out for.
Look, for a break that rarely breaks, this kind of run is more normal than you'd hope. It won't stay poor forever, and forecasts can change, but for now, there's nothing to get excited about.
