The Lowdown

Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks around here is a bit of a bummer. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak, and mostly messy surf. The only break on the cards is Gantheaume Point, but it's a tricky one.

Our main spot, Gantheaume Point (Broome), is a beach and point setup that rarely breaks. Over the next 16 days, the swell is consistently small – think 0.3ft to 2ft – and the wave energy is very weak, mostly in the 2 to 20 range. The only bright spot is the water temperature, which is sitting at 79°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

We start off with a real nothing week. From Monday the 7th right through to Saturday the 12th, the conditions are poor. The wind is mostly a cross-onshore breeze, creating choppy, uninviting surf. The swell is tiny and weak, with periods so short you can barely call it a wave. It's a flat spell. There's a tiny window on Saturday the 12th morning where we get a light cross-offshore wind from the East at 9 mph, leaving the surface clean, but the swell is a mere 0.3ft – hardly enough to get wet.

The following week doesn't offer much more hope. Things stay small and uninspiring. The best you can hope for are a few glassy mornings with clean conditions, like on Monday the 14th and Thursday the 17th, but again, the swell is just a ripple. For a more decent-sized, but still poor quality swell, you'd have to wait until Tuesday the 22nd, when a 2ft, 4-second period swell from the West shows up, but it's accompanied by a fresh onshore breeze making it lumpy. With the combined wave energy still very weak (20), it's not worth the paddle.

Given the tiny swell and consistent onshore winds, this setup at Gantheaume Point looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing during this period. For us surfers, it's a long wait with no real standouts on the horizon. Sometimes it just goes like that.

Rusty.
