The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a lean run. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a dud for surfable waves. There’s a big gap of flatness right from the start, with no real recommendations until the very end. For the first few days, from Wednesday the 29th of July right through the weekend and into the start of August, there’s nothing. Zero. The swell energy is sitting at 0 for most of that time, and the few tiny pulses that pop up are just too weak to bother with.
We do see a few little bumps of energy around the 2nd of August, with a combined swell energy of (4) and a tiny 0.3 ft swell from the west, but it’s still "poor surf conditions". The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The only spot in the mix is Gantheaume Point (Broome). It’s a beach and point setup, but it’s a spot that rarely breaks. It’s exposed to the swell, and the optimum direction is from the WNW. The problem is, the swell that does show up is tiny – mostly 0.3 ft to 1 ft at best – and it’s all from the west or northwest. The periods are all over the shop, from a short 2 seconds to a long 16 seconds, but even the longer period groundswell (like the 16-second one on the morning of August 7th) is only pushing 0.3 ft, with a combined energy of just (7). That’s not enough to ride.
The winds are a bit of a mixed bag, but for the most part, mornings see a cross-offshore breeze from the east, which would keep things clean if there were any waves. Some afternoons are glassy, like the 12th of August morning, with a light SSE wind, but again, no swell to go with it.
Honestly, if you’re looking to paddle, this stretch is a write-off. The tiny, weak swell and poor surf quality mean it’s not even worth suiting up. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a normal blank run for the area. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, you’re better off finding something else to do for the next two weeks.
Rusty.
