The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cooking for Broadway over the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, the start of this run is looking pretty grim. We've got a long stretch of flat, gutless conditions that aren't worth paddling out for. It's not until the last week of the window that we see a bit of life, so you'll need some patience.
The first real glimmer of hope pops up on Monday the 23rd of September. We start to see some energy building with a 4ft swell from the east, but it's still messy with strong breezes. By Wednesday the 24th of September, things get interesting. The morning looks like the standout of the entire period. We've got a solid 5ft east swell with a 10-second period, and the wind is blowing fresh offshore from the NNE. That's the kind of combo that'll set up some proper, clean lines at this beach/jetty setup. The combined energy is strong, clocking in at 859. The water temp is about average for this time of year. This is for the advanced crew though – that size with an offshore wind will have some punch, and the crowds are likely to be a factor here.
The rest of that week holds some smaller but still rideable waves, like the 4ft east swell on Thursday afternoon with glassy conditions, but the real juice is that Wednesday morning window. After that, the following weekend and into the new week looks like it goes back to small, weak, and windy conditions, so make the most of that mid-week pulse.
So, to sum it up: it's a slow start, but if you can wait until Wednesday the 24th of September, you'll be rewarded. That morning session is your best bet – get on it.
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.
