The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s be real – it’s been a tough stretch. The next 16 days are looking flat across the board, so don’t hold your breath for any decent surf.
We’re looking at Gantheaume Point (Broome) , a beach and point setup that rarely breaks. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but it needs a solid WNW swell to wake up, and we aren’t seeing that right now. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing extreme there.
The whole forecast is a quiet one. From Friday 4th September right through to the end of the period on 19th September, every single session is rated as poor surf conditions. The swell heights are tiny, mostly under 3 ft, with periods sitting between 2 and 17 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak, with values like 7, 8, 24 and 33 (a few in the 3-digit range like 33, but still moderate at best). The winds are mostly cross-onshore, bumping up the chop, making it messy.
There are a few mornings where we get cross-offshore winds or even glassy conditions, like on the 11th September morning with a glassy 1 ft swell, but the swell is just too small. On the 8th and 9th September, we see a long period groundswell (13 up to 16 seconds), but the swell height is only 0.3 ft – that’s just not enough to push through. The 17th and 18th September have cleaner offshore winds, but again, the swell is a whisper.
There are no standout days. The best of a bad bunch might be the 8th September morning with a 0.3 ft, 13-second swell from the west and a clean cross-offshore breeze, but it’s still a flat, weak wave. Or the 9th September morning with a 0.3 ft, 15-second pure offshore wind – clean, but tiny. The 11th September morning is glassy but only 1 ft, so it’s more of a paddle than a surf.
This is one of those stretches where the ocean just doesn’t want to play. If you’re a kite surfer, the stronger cross-onshore winds in the afternoons, especially on the 5th (22 mph) and 15th (22 mph), might be more interesting than trying to find a wave. For paddle surfing, I’d wait for the next system.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the forecasts – they can change.
Rusty.
