The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here, let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I'm looking at a pretty bleak run for the foreseeable future. The whole 16-day window is a write-off, and there's just no good surf on offer anywhere. The local spot, Gantheaume Point (Broome), is a beginner-friendly beach and point that rarely breaks, and this stretch is proving why. The first real gap runs from now all the way through to the end of August, with nothing but poor surf conditions day after day.
We do see a few moments of calm, like the glassy Wednesday morning on the 19th of August, with a 0.3 ft swell from the west, but the period is long at 19 seconds – that's a groundswell, but with no size, it's not breaking. Then on the 22nd of August, there's a bit of clean cross-offshore wind but the swell is still just 0.3 ft. The energy is weak, with combined swell energy sitting at just 5. The water temperature is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, around 72°F, which is about 3°F cooler than the long-term average – nothing too wild.
The only slight glimmer comes right at the end of the period, on the morning of the 1st of September. There's a clean offshore breeze from the SSE, but the swell is still a tiny 0.3 ft with a long period of 19 seconds (combined energy of 7). It's just not enough to get excited about. For the rest of the time, it's mostly cross-onshore winds and choppy, messy conditions. With such tiny swell and poor quality, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Hang in there, but don't hold your breath. The forecasts can change, but for now, the boards are staying on the rack.
