The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook for the Broome area is pretty flat. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and generally messy conditions. The first decent recommendation doesn’t pop up until the first of September, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about.
For the first week, the swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, with periods all over the place but very short. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and bumpy. The combined energy is weak, often in single-digit values (like 2), so there’s just no push. Gantheaume Point (Broome) is your only option, but it rarely breaks and the setup is a beach and point. With this tiny swell and messy wind, it’s a no-go for a paddle. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 78°, but that’s not going to save the surf.
There’s a bit of a tease on the morning of the 7th and 8th, with some clean offshore winds from the SE and SSE, but the swell is basically non-existent at 0.3ft to 0.7ft. It’s a glassy, clean surface, but with no waves, it’s a nice day for a swim, not a surf.
The second week doesn’t offer any real improvement. The pattern stays the same: tiny, weak swell (0.3ft to 2ft), with a mix of light cross-off winds and then more cross-onshore blow. The combined energy barely cracks 10 (on the 13th morning it hits 10, but with a 1ft swell). The highlight of the entire 16 days might be the morning of the 12th, where it’s completely glassy, but with a tiny 0.3ft, 14-second swell. That long period would make it a super clean, but super tiny, ankle-snapper.
Forget the board. The best bet for the next 16 days is to find a kite or a jet ski. The wind is reliable enough for a kite, but for a surfboard, there’s just nothing on the cards. The blank run is normal for this area at this time of year.
