The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've had a good look at the charts for the next 16 days, and I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – it's a tough stretch for Gantheaume Point (Broome). We're looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple on offer. The water is sitting at 73°, which is a bit colder than what we'd normally expect around here this time of year, so you'll want a decent spring suit.
The outlook kicks off on Monday the 20th of July, and honestly, it's a frustrating start. We've got a tiny 0.3 ft of west swell creeping in but it's so weak the combined energy is only reading 4. It's just not gonna do anything. That same tiny, low-energy swell hangs around for a few days, but it's not enough to get excited about.
From the 23rd of July right through to the 31st of July, we're looking at a complete flat spell. Absolutely nothing. Zilch. The combined energy sits at 0 for days on end. The wind is mostly offshore from the SE or cross-off from the E, which would be perfect if there was any surf, but there isn't. It's a classic dry run for the area.
We finally see a tiny pulse of life right at the end of the window. On the 1st of August, a 0.3 ft west swell shows up again, with a very long period of 17 seconds, but the energy is still pathetic at 6. Then on the 2nd of August, we get a tiny 2 ft swell from the NW, but it's a 3-second period windswell and the wind turns onshore from the NW in the afternoon. Not worth paddling out for. The 3rd of August has a similar 2 ft windswell from the WNW, but again, onshore afternoon winds ruin it.
The only real standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of the 4th of August. The S wind is glassy at 3 mph, and there's a tiny 0.3 ft west swell with a 12-second period. The energy is still weak at 7, but those glassy conditions mean it'll be mirror flat. It's more of a morning for a paddle and a chat than a surf.
Seriously, this is a tough one. It's a long stretch of nothing, so don't be surprised if you're better off with a different plan. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a big fat zero.
Rusty.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Gantheaume Point (Broome) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
