The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a full 16-day window, from the start of August right through to the 16th, and the honest truth is there’s next to nothing on offer. It’s a long stretch of flatness and poor conditions, with a gap of about 16 days where there’s no real surf to recommend. The few tiny pulses that show up are so weak it’s hardly worth paddling out for.
Let’s start with the only spot in the frame: Gantheaume Point (Broome). It’s a beach and point setup that rarely breaks, and for this whole period, it’s living up to that reputation. The water is sitting at a chilly 70° – that’s 5° colder than normal for this time of year, which is very unusual. You’ll feel that sting.
The first week is a write-off. From Saturday the 1st right through to the 7th, we’ve got swell heights sitting at 0.3 ft or 1 ft at best, with combined wave energy barely registering – values like 0, 1, 3, or 7, all well under 100, meaning it’s weak. Most mornings are clean with light cross-off or glassy winds, like the flat calm on Saturday morning or the 3 mph SE breeze on Friday the 7th morning, but it doesn’t matter when there’s nothing to ride. Afternoons get choppy with onshore or cross-onshore winds, and the swell direction is mostly from the W or NW, which isn’t matching the optimum WNW direction for this break.
The second week, from the 8th to the 16th, isn’t any better. We’re still seeing those tiny 0.3 ft to 1.0 ft swells, with energy still in the single digits (1 to 15) – weak as. The period on some of these pulses hits 14 to 17 seconds, which is long-period groundswell, but the swell height is so small it’s a non-event. The best you’ll see is a clean morning with a light offshore, like Sunday the 9th morning with 16 mph ESE winds, but there’s still no surfable size. The swell direction is mostly from the W, still not ideal.
There is no standout. There is no best day. This is a classic blank run for this area, and it’s not unusual for Gantheaume Point to go this long without a decent wave. If you’ve got a kite, the stronger afternoon winds and small chop might make it more interesting for you, but for a paddle surfer, just leave the boards at home and check back in a week or so.
Rusty.
