The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've got to be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a paddle. The only break on the radar is Gantheaume Point (Broome), and it's a spot that rarely breaks. We're in for a long stretch of flat, or near-flat, conditions with no real swell to speak of.
Let's walk through it. The water's sitting at 73°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, but that's not going to matter much when there's nothing to ride. We kick off with Thursday the 13th of August. There’s a tiny 0.3ft west swell with a long period of 11 seconds, but the combined energy is a measly 2 – that's just weak. The morning has a clean look with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the waves are too small to do anything with. The afternoon turns to junk with a 16 mph onshore wind.
Friday the 14th through to Sunday the 16th offer nothing. Flat spells. The morning of the 17th of August has a 0.3ft west swell with a 13-second period, energy only 6, and a cross-onshore wind. It's a no-go. This pattern of tiny, weak swells and messy wind drags on for days.
The only slight flicker of potential comes on Saturday the 22nd of August. The afternoon shows a 1ft swell from the SW, with a period of 16 seconds and a combined energy of 63. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the SSE at 9 mph. The file says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," which is about as optimistic as it gets here. It's a 1ft wave, so it's tiny, but the long period and clean wind might make it the best of a very bad bunch. It's still a 16-day call, so don't hold your breath.
Other than that, the rest of the period is flat. The morning of the 28th of August has a clean, offshore breeze, but again, with 0.3ft of swell, you're just looking at a glassy ocean. There's no real surf to be had.
So, the honest truth? There's no standout here. The best option is Gantheaume Point on the afternoon of the 22nd of August, but it's a rare-breaking spot with tiny swell. This is a tough window for the area. Don't even think about beginners; most of the time there's nothing to ride.
Rusty.
