The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. This is shaping up to be one of those long, flat stretches where patience is the name of the game.
The truth is, for the next couple of weeks, Broadway is just not doing us any favours. We’re looking at a solid run of flat, weak, or choppy conditions all the way from now through to the end of the third week of September. From the 10th right up until the 22nd of September, it’s a whole lot of meh. Swell heights are mostly under 2 ft with short-period windswell, and energy readings are in the dumps – often in the teen’s or twenties (combined energy of all swells directed here: mostly 12 to 102). The wind is either onshore, cross-shore, or too strong, making for poor, bumpy surf.
There’s a little tease of cleaner conditions on the 22nd of September, with a bit more size, but the score still isn’t high enough to be a standout. Honestly, there are no true standouts in this 16-day window. For an advanced break, it’s just not cooperating. With the combination of persistent south winds and small, short-period swell, the setup here looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of this period.
Hang in there, check back closer to the 22nd, but keep expectations low for now. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a quiet spell.
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.
