The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve had a good look at the charts for the Broome region.
Look, I’m gonna be straight with you—this is a tough one. The finder is pointing us to Gantheaume Point (Broome) as the only option, and it’s a spot that *rarely breaks*. Over the whole 16-day window, we’re looking at a long, dry stretch. There’s a big gap with no real surf on offer, and what little we do see is tiny and weak.
We start off on Thursday, August 6th, with a tiny 0.3ft swell from the west, but it’s a 15-second period groundswell. The energy is minimal (4), and it’s cross-on with a 6 mph westerly. That’s a no-go. Friday the 7th is more of the same—a 0.3ft, 16-second westerly groundswell with a light cross-on. The combined energy is still feeble (5). It’s just not happening.
Saturday the 8th to Monday the 10th is a similar story: tiny waves, poor surf conditions, and the *combined energy of all swells directed here* is weak, never getting above 8. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.
The one tiny glimmer comes on Wednesday, August 19th. The morning shows a glassy 0.3ft, 15-second west swell with a combined energy of just 6. It’s tiny, but the glassy wind means the ocean is flat calm. The afternoon picks up a little with a 0.7ft, 16-second west swell and the *combined energy of all swells directed here* hits 21—still moderate, but the wind goes cross-on. Then on Thursday the 20th, the morning is glassy again with a 0.3ft west swell, but the energy is only 5. The afternoon bumps up to 0.7ft from the west-southwest, with a 14-second period and a *combined energy of all swells directed here* of 19, but it’s choppy with a 12 mph cross-on wind.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. The swell never gets above 2ft, and most of the time it’s below 0.7ft. The consistent theme is “poor surf conditions.” For a point break that rarely breaks, this is a blank run. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the glassy mornings on the 19th and 20th might give you a wobbly knee-high ripple, but that’s it. The rest of the period is a write-off.
Rusty.
