G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve had a good hard look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a pretty bleak run for Gantheaume Point (Broome). This spot is a beach and point setup that rarely breaks, so we’re already fighting an uphill battle, and the charts are backing that up. For the entire 16-day outlook from now, there’s not a single day with surf worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny – we’re talking 0.3 ft to 2 ft at best – and the combined wave energy is sitting at weak levels, between 1 and 6 (for context, that’s barely a ripple). The wind does offer some clean windows, especially on the mornings with a cross-offshore E’ly breeze, but with no height to work with, it’s a flat, clean lake out there.
Let’s walk through it day by day. Starting Monday 13th July, we’ve got clear skies, around 16 mph E wind cross-off, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3 ft out of the west at a 13-second period. That period is long enough to suggest some deep-water energy, but the height is just not there – the combined energy is a mere 3, and the wave comment is “poor surf conditions.” Nothing changes on Tuesday or Wednesday; same story, tiny west swell, cleanish mornings, but the energy is stuck in the single digits. By Thursday and Friday, we get a touch of offshore wind in the afternoons, but the swell stays flat – 0.3 ft is all we get. The weekend of 18th-19th July offers a tiny bump up to a combined energy of 6 on the Saturday, but the swell height is still only 0.3 ft, so it’s more of the same: clean but flat.
Now, as we drift into the second week, there’s a brief change around Tuesday 21st July afternoon when the swell nudges up to 2 ft from the SW with a short 3-second period – that’s windswell, and the combined energy hits 5. But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore at 16 mph, and the wave state is “moderate cross-onshore and choppy.” That’s a mess, and it’s still well under 3 ft. After that, it’s right back to tiny or no swell. Wednesday 22nd morning is glassy but with a 0.3 ft, 9-second west swell – energy at 1, so maybe you can float on a mat, but that’s it. Then from Thursday 23rd right through to Tuesday 28th, the swell disappears entirely on many sessions – recorded as “-” for height, period, and zero energy. There’s a brief flicker of life on Friday 24th afternoon with a 0.3 ft, 18-second very long-period groundswell, energy at 6, but it’s hampered by a moderate cross-onshore. Still, way too small to ride.
Overall, this is a flat spell for the entire 16-day window. There are no standouts, no days to circle. The only positive is that Gantheaume Point is a rare-break spot, so a blank run like this isn’t totally out of character for the area. The water temperature anomaly didn’t come through in the data for the first mention, so I can’t tell you if it’s warmer or cooler than usual – but trust me, you won’t feel it because you won’t be in the water surfing. Keep the board stored, maybe go for a kite session if the wind picks up, because for paddle surfing, it’s a no-go. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is all I’ve got. Rusty out.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Gantheaume Point (Broome) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
