The Lowdown
G’day, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you – the next sixteen days at Gantheaume Point (Broome) are a real tough watch. This is a spot that’s already a rare breaker, so you need everything to line up, and unfortunately, it’s just not happening. The water is sitting at 69°F, which is a massive 6°F colder than usual for this time of year – that’s a very unusual chill, so don’t forget a good wetsuit if you’re even thinking about getting wet.
The entire forecast period is a flat spell. From Saturday the 1st of August right through to Sunday the 16th of August, the combined energy of all swells directed here is practically zero, with values like (0), (3), (2), (1) – that’s weak as dishwater. The biggest swell I can see is a tiny 1ft from the NW on the 5th, but it’s got a period of only 3 seconds and onshore wind, so it’s just messy bump. Most mornings offer a clean look with cross-offshore breezes, but there’s simply no swell to ride.
The only small flicker of hope is on the morning of Sunday the 16th of August, where we see a 0.3ft, 17-second period groundswell from the west. That’s a very long period for a wave that small, and with a light cross-offshore breeze, it’ll be clean. But at 0.3ft, you’re looking at ankle-snappers at best. The energy is still just (5). Don’t get your hopes up.
Honestly, for a beach and point setup like this, with such persistent tiny swell and occasional onshore slop, it’s looking more interesting for a kite session than a paddle surf. There’s nothing here for beginners or experts. The takeaway? This stretch of coast is dead quiet. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a blank run, and for a spot that rarely breaks anyway, it’s not unusual to see a run like this.
