The Lowdown
G'day, it’s Rusty here. Let me tell you straight up: if you’re hanging out for a proper surf at Gantheaume Point (Broome) over the next couple of weeks, you’re gonna be doing a lot of waiting. The forecast is pretty much flat. There isn't a single decent wave on the cards for the entire 16-day run, and that hurts to say.
The water temp here is 73°F, which is a bit colder than what you'd usually expect this time of year. Not freezing, but you’ll notice it.
We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing. From now through to the middle of next week, it’s all tiny scraps and bumpy conditions. The swell energy is weak, with values mostly in the single digits or low double digits—real bummer. The waves that do show up are small, often under 1.5ft, and they're coming from the west or west-southwest with short, crumbly periods. That’s not surf, that's just the ocean moving.
The winds are a mixed bag too. There are a few moments, like Thursday the 21st morning, where it goes glassy with a light easterly, and you’ll see a tiny 0.3ft west swell (energy 6). But that's not rideable for anyone over ankle-deep. There's a strong offshore on Saturday the 22nd morning with 25 mph winds—that will blow your hair back, but with only 0.3ft of swell, it's pointless. The paddle out would be more of a workout than the ride.
Even with a few cleaner windows, the surf quality is rated as poor across the board. It's inconsistent and rarely breaks. Basically, this is a blank run. When the surf is this non-existent, and the spot is this fickle, it’s just how it goes here sometimes. You can’t force it.
So, what’s the verdict? Don't get your hopes up. There is nothing on the horizon that'll get the heart racing. Maybe keep the board in the car and enjoy the clear skies, but don't expect any barrels. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d honestly say it’s not worth the trip down to the water.
Stay salty.
