The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the Broome area.

Alright, I’m not gonna sugar-coat it. The outlook for the next couple of weeks is a tough one for surfers. We're looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions, with very little to get excited about.

The main spot in the frame is Gantheaume Point (Broome), a beach and point setup. The water temp is sittin' at a warm 79°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. That's about the only thing that's not a letdown.

Let's start with this Sunday afternoon, the 13th. There's a tiny 2ft swell from the west, but with a period of only 3 seconds, it's all junk. The cross-on wind is a problem too, so you're looking at poor surf. Wave energy is weak (7).

Monday the 14th is more of the same. A little 1.0ft to 2ft swell with cross-on winds. Not worth paddling out for. Tuesday and Wednesday aren't any better. Wednesday morning the 16th has a moment of glassy conditions, but with a 0.7ft swell and weak energy (6), it’s flat. The rest of the week just drags on with tiny, weak, choppy waves.

We get a bit of a shift on Thursday the 17th morning. The wind turns cross-off from the east at 19 mph, cleaning things up, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft with a 14-second period. That long period means it would have some push, but there’s no height to work with. Combined energy is still weak (7).

Friday the 18th morning is glassy again, but the swell is still a tiny 0.3ft. It’s pretty, but flat.

The following week is more of the same. There’s a blip on Sunday the 20th afternoon with the energy jumping to 69 (still moderate), and the swell period stretching out to 15 seconds. But it's a tiny 1ft with a cross-on breeze. That's a frustrating combo – a little bit of pulse, but no size and the wind ruining it.

Towards the end of the period, on Friday the 25th and Saturday the 26th, we get some offshore winds. Friday morning has a clean 0.3ft from the east-southeast, and Saturday morning has a clean 1ft from the east-southeast. But again, the swell is just too small to make anything of it.

Honestly, there's not a single standout in this entire 16-day window. The swell is consistently small, and when the wind is good, the waves are flat. When there’s a little more energy, the wind is onshore. Gantheaume Point rarely breaks anyway, and this forecast is a prime example of why. It’s a blank run, plain and simple.

If you're desperate for a paddle, maybe the Saturday the 26th morning with the offshore wind and 1ft swell is the best you’ll get, but don't expect much. With such weak swell and poor quality, this stretch looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The forecasts can change, but for now, it's a waiting game.

Rusty.
