The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here with a look at the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you. If you’re looking to paddle out at Gantheaume Point (Broome), we’ve got a massive 16-day stretch of absolutely nothing worth getting wet for. The forecast is a total blank, with every single session marked as “poor surf conditions.” That’s a long, dry spell, so don’t bother checking the board until the middle of August at the earliest.
The only break on the cards is Gantheaume Point, a beginner-friendly beach and point setup that rarely breaks. It’s exposed to the WNW, but the swell energy is non-existent, typically sitting at a measly 1 or 2 (combined energy of all swells directed here). The water is currently a very unusual 70°, which is a massive 6° colder than average for this time of year. That’s a serious anomaly, so you’ll want a thick wetsuit.
The first 10 days or so are a total write-off. We’re talking tiny, wind-affected ripples. There’s a bit of a tease on the 8th of August (Saturday morning) with glassy conditions and a 0.3 ft swell from the west with a 15-second period, but it’s still junk. The 13th of August (Thursday) sees a bit of a pulse with a 1 ft swell from the WSW and a 7-second period, but the energy is still pathetic (12). The winds on that Thursday afternoon turn offshore (ESE at 19 mph), which is about the only bright spot, but there’s no wave to ride.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the persistent strong winds and lack of any decent swell. There’s nothing here for a surfer. It’s a long, flat, and cold run. Keep your board in the car for another week or two, because the forecast is a goose egg.
Rusty.
