The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you—this outlook for the Broome area is a flat spell. The swell window just isn’t firing, and we’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves. There’s a gap of about a week with no real surf on offer, so don’t get your hopes up for anything decent anytime soon.

The first spot, Gantheaume Point (Broome), is a beach and point break that rarely breaks, and that’s the story here. It’s an exposed setup, needing a west-northwest swell, but the energy is practically non-existent.

On Monday, August 24, we’ve got a tiny 1 ft swell from the west-southwest, with a weak 4-second period. The combined energy is a measly 7 (weak). Morning has a light breeze, but it’s cross-offshore, so the surf is clean but small. Afternoon turns onshore with a moderate breeze and choppy conditions. Not worth paddling out.

Tuesday, August 25, drops even further: 0.7 ft in the morning with a 6-second period and clean offshore wind from the east-southeast, but the energy is only 2. By afternoon, it’s a 0.3 ft swell with a long 14-second period—that’s a groundswell, but it’s so small it’s basically a ripple. Energy is 6, but still poor.

The rest of the week is a flat slog. Wednesday, August 26, has 0.3 ft clean surf in the morning, but the wind shifts to onshore in the afternoon with 19 mph. Thursday and Friday, August 27-28, are all 0.3 ft to 1 ft, with cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, and combined energy staying under 10. Saturday, August 29, morning has a clean offshore breeze at 16 mph, but the swell is just 0.3 ft. Sunday, August 30, through Monday, August 31, there’s literally no swell height—zeros across the board.

We get a tiny blip on Tuesday, September 1, with a 0.3 ft swell from the west, but the period is a very long 20 seconds. Combined energy is 7 and the morning is glassy, so it’s clean, but there’s no push. Afternoon turns onshore and choppy. From Wednesday, September 2, through to the end of the outlook on Tuesday, September 8, it’s all 0.3 ft to 2 ft swells, with periods mostly under 4 seconds or long-period groundswells that are too small to ride. The winds are mostly cross-onshore, making it choppy. The best you’ll see is a 2 ft clean swell on Monday afternoon, September 7, and Tuesday, September 8, but with a 3-second period and weak energy (6 and 5), it’s not worth getting excited about.

Water temperature is 76°, which is about average for this time of year. For the most part, this is a kite-surfing setup if you’re into that—beach and point, with consistent wind and tiny surf. But for paddle surfing, it’s a blank run. The area is known for this, so don’t be too disappointed. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave your board at home.

Rusty.
