The Lowdown
Alright, let me give it to you straight about Broadway. It’s been a slow, flat run for a while now.
The first week is a total dud. No surf to speak of. Thursday the 10th shows a tiny 2ft S swell with side wind and a short 5-second period – just junk. From Friday through to the next Wednesday, wave heights barely climb past 1ft most days, and the combined energy is weak (between 8 and 81). We get a glassy morning on Sunday the 13th and again Monday the 21st afternoon, but the swell is so small you’d be standing on your board more than riding. Honestly, leave the board at home.
Now, a real turn comes later in the second week. On the 23rd of September, things finally wake up. Wednesday and Thursday mornings bring clean, offshore wind from the NE, and the swell jumps to a solid 4ft from the E with an 8-second period. The combined energy hits moderate levels (196-219), so there’s proper push. That’s the highlight – Broadway on the 23rd and 24th mornings will have fun, clean, rippable waves. Be there early. Friday the 25th sees the swell build to 6ft to 7ft from the ESE, but the wind turns onshore and chops it up. That’s expert territory, and a bit messy. At that size with that wind, it might be better for the kite boarders than us.
The water on the morning of the 10th? 77°F, which is 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual and feels like summer is sticking around.
So the standout window is Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th of September. That’s your best bet. Everything before it is flat, and after that the wind kills it.

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.
