Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's cooking for this stretch of coast over the next couple of weeks.

Gotta be straight with you, man: we're looking at a total drought. From now all the way through to the 18th of July, there isn't a single session worth paddling out for. That's a solid 16-day gap with no surf on offer. The swell is flat, barely pushing 1ft, and the energy in the water is pathetic – mostly sitting between 10 and 30 (combined energy of all swells directed here). To make it worse, the wind is almost always onshore or side-onshore, chopping up the few tiny bumps that do show.

So, what's the call? Well, in a spot like this, when the ocean shuts down, it doesn't mess around. Forecasts can flip, but right now, everything is pointing to dead calm, junky windswell with short periods. There's nothing to get excited about.

Your best bet is to store the board, give the wax a rest, and maybe catch up on some fishing or tinkering in the garage. It's a blank run, plain and simple.

Rusty.

Information about the Broadway Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Broadway provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Broadway can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Broadway surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Broadway) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Broadway may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.

Broadway is 49 km (30 miles) from Ocean City. If you plan a vacation in New Jersey, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ocean City. Ocean City has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
