Table - best surf conditions forecast for Gantheaume Point (Broome) over the next 16 days.
G’day, it’s Rusty here, and I’ve gotta level with you straight up—there’s nothing worth paddling out for in the Broome region over the next 16 days. The whole stretch from July 13 right through to July 28 is a flat, energy-starved run. No swell, no juice, no fun. The combined energy of all swells directed here sits at a measly 3 to 6 (weak) for the first week, then drops to zero by the 22nd. It’s a grim picture for anyone with a surfboard.
Let’s start with the only break on the radar: Gantheaume Point (Broome). It’s a beach and point setup that rarely breaks, and this forecast proves why. For the entire period, we’re looking at swell heights of 0.3 ft at best, with periods between 9 and 16 seconds—but that doesn’t matter when the swell is that tiny. On Monday July 13, there’s a morning clear sky with east wind at 16 mph, cross-off, but the swell is just 0.3 ft from the west at 13 seconds. The water temperature is 74°, which is about a bit colder than usual for this time of year. It’s clean, yeah, but there’s nothing to ride.
The afternoons don’t get any better. Tuesday July 14 morning sees east wind cranking at 19 mph, still cross-off, with the same 0.3 ft west swell. On Wednesday July 15, the wind eases late in the day to a southeast 12 mph offshore, and the sky stays clear—but the swell is still 0.3 ft. Even when the wind turns offshore on Thursday July 16 afternoon (ESE 12 mph, moderate offshore and clean), there’s no wave to surf. This pattern repeats day after day: clear skies, light to fresh breezes, cross-off or offshore winds, but a total lack of swell.
By July 22, the combined energy drops to zero, and there’s no swell height or period recorded at all. Some afternoons, like July 24, have a gentle cross-shore with a slight chop, but you’re looking at flat water. The last few days, July 25 through 28, tease with a tiny 0.3 ft west swell again, but it’s not enough to get excited about—the energy is still weak (values between 3 and 5). Even on July 28, when the wind is a moderate offshore in the morning, there’s nothing.
Look, I know it’s a bummer. Gantheaume Point is a rare-breaking spot, so a blank run like this isn’t unusual for Broome. The forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a stretch of up to 16 days with no real surf on offer. The winds are often clean, but you need some swell to make it happen. If you’re desperate, this setup on a beach and point with such weak energy and clean conditions might be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer—but even then, it’s slim pickings.
I’ll be watching the charts, but right now, I’d say go for a swim or a cold one instead. Rusty.
