Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here again, giving it to you straight. Let’s look at what’s happening around Broadway for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it’s a tough outlook. Across the whole 16 days, there’s not a single session that rates as good. The scores are all zero, and every entry says “poor surf conditions.” It’s a long, flat, and messy spell.
Starting off on Saturday morning, the 4th of July, there’s a glassy start with a light WSW breeze and a tiny 0.3m SE swell with a 9-second period. The combined energy is a weak 16. It looks like something for a small foamboard at best. By the afternoon, a strong SSE wind hits 40 km/h, completely ruining any chance.
Sunday the 5th and Monday the 6th stay onshore and choppy, with the swell barely reaching 0.3m. Tuesday the 7th cleans up a little with a light westerly in the morning, but the swell is a pathetic 0.4m from the ENE with a short, weak 6-second period. Not worth the drive.
The only slightly better moment comes on Wednesday morning, the 8th of July. We get a moderate offshore breeze from the north with a 0.6m SSE swell. The period is still short at 7 seconds and the energy only hits 66, but it’ll be clean. For a longboard or a mid-length, this is probably the best of the lot, and that’s not saying much.
From there, it’s back to onshore slop on Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th offers a light cross-shore with 0.6m from the SSE, but the energy is low at 40.
The second week, from the 11th of July, is more of the same. There’s a glassy Saturday morning on the 11th with a 0.5m S swell, but it’s weak. Wednesday the 15th has a pulse of 0.8m from the south, but it’s onshore and messy. The final day, Saturday the 19th, shows a 0.7m S swell but again with a light onshore wind.
Overall, this beach and jetty setup is looking flat or blown out for the entire 16-day period. With the tiny swell and persistent onshore or cross-onshore winds, this stretch is looking way more interesting for a kite surfer than anyone paddling. There’s just no real surf on offer here.

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.
