Table - best surf conditions forecast for Gantheaume Point (Broome) over the next 16 days.
Alright, let's get real about Broome. The bottom line is, there's just nothing doing for the next few weeks. The only break on the radar is Gantheaume Point, a beach and point setup that rarely breaks, and it's living up to that name. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple.
The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. Every single day from Thursday the 9th of July right through to Friday the 24th of July is showing tiny, useless swell. We're looking at a miserable 0.3ft wave from the west, with a combined wave energy reading of just 3, which is basically nothing. The water's sitting at 74°, which is a bit colder than you'd expect for this time of year, so even a paddle feels a little off.
The wind does offer some clean moments—like Sunday the 12th afternoon with a light offshore, or Tuesday the 14th afternoon with a moderate offshore breeze—but it doesn't matter because there's no power behind the swell. The period hangs around 12 to 17 seconds, which is a long-period groundswell, but it's just a ghost swell with no height. On the 22nd of July, Wednesday afternoon, it actually goes glassy, and the 23rd morning is glassy too, but you're still looking at a flat ocean. The 24th afternoon sees a slight bump to 0.7ft, but it's cross-onshore and choppy, so it's just as useless.
Honestly, if you're after a wave, this isn't the place. This kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area in the middle of winter. It's a tough stretch for a surfer, and it's a long way to go for a flat lake. For the first week, it's a hard no, and the second week offers zero hope. The only thing that might get moving is a kite on a breezy afternoon, because the paddle surfing just isn't there.
