The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. For the whole 16-day window, from Saturday the 22nd of August right through to Sunday the 6th of September, there’s barely a ripple worth paddling for. The swell energy is weak across the board, with the combined energy of all swells directed here sitting at single digits or low double digits (like 9, 8, 3, 7). It’s a flat spell, plain and simple.
The only break on the cards is Gantheaume Point (Broome). It’s a beach and point setup that rarely breaks, so a blank run like this is more normal for the area. The swell is tiny – 0.3 ft to 2 ft – and for the vast majority of the period, the wind is onshore, cross-onshore, or cross-shore, making it choppy and poor.
There is just one tiny glimmer, and I mean tiny. On Tuesday the 25th of August in the morning, you get a cross-offshore wind from the ESE at 16 mph with a 0.7 ft, 5-second WSW swell. The combined energy is only 2, so it’s flat, but it’s clean. Then that afternoon, and on Wednesday the 26th of August morning, we see glassy or clean conditions with an offshore breeze, but the swell is still 0.3 ft. On the 28th and 29th of August, mornings bring a strong offshore wind (fresh to strong breeze), and the swell is 0.3 ft with a long period of 16 seconds from the west. The combined energy is just 5. That long period (over 15 seconds) would normally mean good shape at a point, but there’s simply not enough height to ride.
The water temperature isn’t given in the data, so I can’t comment on that. Overall, there are no standout days. The best on offer is probably the morning of Tuesday the 25th, but you’d be chasing a knee-high dribble.
My honest advice? Save the gas. It’s not your time.
Rusty.
