The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let’s chew the fat on the next 16 days for Broadway. It’s a rough spell, boys. There’s a big dry spell right off the bat, and even when something pops up, it’s not worth racing for.
The water is way warmer than usual – at 76°F, that’s a crazy 5°F above average for this time of year. It’s a weird feeling, like the ocean forgot to cool down.
We don’t see a sniff of a surfable wave until Monday, September 21st. That’s a six-day gap with nothing on offer. That Monday morning is your best shot, but it’s slim. Swell is tiny at 2ft from the east with a long 9-second period. The wind is light offshore from the NNW at 3 mph, so it’s clean. Combined energy is a weak 93 – you’ll be hunting for knee-high rollers. Monday afternoon is a flat calm zero.
Tuesday the 22nd shows a bump to 3ft from the east, but the period is a short 7 seconds and a cross-shore wind makes it choppy and messy. Wednesday the 23rd tries harder, hitting 4ft from the east (8 seconds), with combined energy of 170, but it’s cross-onshore and lumpy – that’s kite-surfing weather, not for a paddle. Thursday the 24th is the same: 3ft, onshore, ugly.
Towards the end, Sunday the 27th through Monday the 28th, we get clean, offshore winds from the NNW at 16-19 mph. But the swell is stuck at 2 to 2ft. It’s clean, sure, but there's no power. The energy on Monday morning hits 179, but the waves are too small to matter. Tuesday the 29th and Wednesday the 30th stay clean but tiny.
There’s no standout day. If you’re absolutely itching, Monday the 21st morning is the only time you’ll find clean, rideable bumps. Otherwise, leave the board in the car.
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.
