The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at the 16-day picture for the Broome area.

Alright, straight up – this is a tough one. We’re looking at a real dry spell. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and for the most part, the conditions just aren’t coming together for a decent paddle. There’s a stretch of several days where there’s nothing to get excited about. The first real window of opportunity, if you can call it that, is way down the line.

The standout spot to keep an eye on is Gantheaume Point (Broome). It’s a beach and point setup that rarely breaks, so when it does, it’s a bit of a novelty. The water is sitting at 71°F – that’s 4°F colder than usual for this time of year, which is very unusual. You’ll want a thicker wetsuit.

The first real chance to get wet looks to be Saturday, August 23rd. The morning is clean, with an easterly breeze at 9 mph. The swell is a tiny 0.3 ft from the west, with a period of 13 seconds – that’s a long period, but for a point break like this, that long period might just give you a few lined-up waves. The combined energy is a weak (6), so it’s not powerful, but it’s something. The afternoon turns onshore from the northwest, so make the most of the morning.

Before that, the whole week is a write-off. From the 8th to the 22nd, it’s a frustrating mix of tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. Wind is often a problem, either cross or onshore, and the swell is almost always below 2 ft. The energy readings are tiny, mostly in the single digits. There are a few glassy mornings on the 14th and 16th, but with no swell, it’s flat as a tack. On the 18th and 19th, we get a few 0.3 ft sets with a very long period (18 seconds), but the energy is so low (11 and 5) that it’s barely a ripple.

So, to sum it up: if you’re desperate, the morning of Saturday, August 23rd at Gantheaume Point is your only real option. It’s a rare break, the swell is tiny, but the wind is right and it’s clean. For the rest of the 16 days, leave the boards in the car and maybe go for a fish. It’s a lean run, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.
