The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next 16 days are a write-off for Broome. There’s just no surf to speak of for the entire run. Nothing. Nada. We’ve got a 16-day blank stretch from the 30th of July right through to the 14th of August. That’s pretty much the whole forecast window.
The only spot on the radar is Gantheaume Point (Broome). It’s a beach and point setup that very rarely breaks, and that’s the truth of it. The energy just isn’t there. Even when we get a tiny pulse of swell, it’s a feeble 0.3 ft from the west, with lousy period and combined energy levels stuck in the single digits (3, 4, 6) – that’s whisper-weak. The wind is often cross-off or cross-onshore, and the water temp is pretty much average for this time of year.
There’s a tiny moment on the morning of the 14th of August where we get a long-period groundswell – 23 seconds – but it’s only 0.3 ft and the combined energy is still just 17. That’s barely a ripple. It’s glassy, sure, but there’s nothing to ride.
Forget the paddle. If you’re desperate for a session on the water, this stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the persistent wind and tiny, choppy surf. But for a proper wave? Save your energy. This is a normal dry spell for the area – it won’t stay poor forever, but right now, it’s a dust bowl.
Rusty.
