The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve looked at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you—it’s a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is a total flat spell for the region. Nothing’s happening. Let’s get into it.
Right, the only spot that ever gets a look-in here is Gantheaume Point (Broome). It’s a beach and point setup, but it rarely breaks, and right now, it’s not doing a thing. The water is sitting at 71°F, which is a solid 5°F colder than normal for this time of year—that’s much colder than usual, so you’ll feel that bite.
We kick off Friday the 7th of August. There’s a tiny pulse of swell from the west, but at 0.3ft with a 16-second period, the combined energy is barely a whisper at 5 (weak). The wind is a cross-on, so it’s choppy and messy. No good.
Saturday the 8th looks similar. Another tiny west swell, period drops to 3 seconds in the arvo, just a bit of onshore chop. Sunday the 9th has a clean morning with a fresh offshore from the SE, but the swell is still 0.7ft at best. You’re not catching anything.
We go through the entire first week and into the second—mornings like Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th are clean, some glassy patches, but the swell never gets above 1ft. The combined energy never climbs above 11 (weak). It’s just flat.
There’s a moment on Thursday the 20th of August. The morning looks glassy, with a long-period swell from the west at 0.3ft and a period of 20 seconds—that’s a very long period groundswell. The energy bumps up to 12 (still weak), but it’s just not enough. A 20-second period at 0.3ft is a big, slow, rolling lump that won’t break properly on a beach setup. It’s more of a whale-watching day.
The rest of the run through to the 22nd is the same story: tiny west swell, occasional offshore winds, but nothing rideable. The combined energy tops out at 14 (weak) on the 22nd, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy.
Plain and simple: there are no surfable waves in this 16-day forecast. None. Gantheaume Point rarely breaks anyway, and this is one of those long, flat runs that’s pretty normal for the area. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might find a knee-high ripple on a glassy morning, but that’s it. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a total write-off.
