The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
We’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch ahead for the Broome region. Honestly, it’s a tough one. There’s a big gap of flat, unrideable days right from the start. The system is showing nothing worth paddling out for until about the 31st of August, and even then, it’s marginal at best. The main spot on the radar is Gantheaume Point (Broome). It’s a beach and point setup that’s classed as a beginner wave, but it rarely breaks, so when it does, it’s a special event.
The water temperature is sitting at 74°F which is about 1°F cooler than normal for this time of year, so nothing too wild, just a touch fresh.
The first real chance to scrape a wave comes on Monday the 31st of August. On the Monday morning, we’ve got a tiny 0.3ft swell from the SW, with a period of 4 seconds—that’s super short and weak. The combined energy is only 1 (low energy), but the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the east at 12 mph. The wave state is clean, so if you’re desperate for a splash, the conditions will be tidy, but the swell is barely there.
The standout for the whole 16-day window? Honestly, nothing screams “go.” But if I had to pick the best of a very flat bunch, it would be the morning of Thursday the 3rd of September. The swell is still tiny at 0.3ft from the west, with a period of 15 seconds—that’s proper long-period groundswell energy, but there’s just not enough height to ride. The wind is glassy, dead calm (0 mph), and the wave state is described as glassy. The combined energy is 5 (weak). For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a moment of total peace on the water, but you’ll be floating more than surfing.
Overall, this is a bleak run. The surf is tiny, the period is mostly short, and the wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up what little is there. For a spot that’s inconsistent by nature, a blank spell like this is pretty normal for the area. Don’t hold your breath—forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.
Rusty.
