The Lowdown
Alright, let me break this down for you, Broome crew. Over this whole 16-day stretch, the surf is basically a no-show. Honestly, it’s grim.
The first tiny blip comes Friday morning, August 14 – a 0.2m swell from the west, but the period is only 3 seconds. That’s just bump on the water, not a real wave. Wind is cross-on at 6 mph, so it’s choppy and weak. Water temp is about 73°F, which is a bit cooler than normal for this time – about 2°F off, so you’ll feel it.
From that Friday all the way through Saturday, August 29, every single session at Gantheaume Point (Broome) is poor. The swell never cracks 2ft, and the period is almost always under 4 seconds. A few mornings, like the 21st and 22nd, the wind turns cross-off from the east-southeast at 15-16 mph, making the water glassy clean – but with only 0.3ft of swell, it’s still flat. You can’t surf clean flat water.
On the 19th morning, there is a super long period groundswell of 20 seconds, but the height is still just 0.3ft. All that energy (energy reading of 12) with nothing to push – pure frustration.
Bottom line: there is no surf worth paddling for in this entire 16-day window. This kind of dry spell happens here – the swell window just isn’t cooperating. If you’ve got a kite, those clean cross-off breezes on flat water could be fun. For us surfers, it’s a waiting game.
