The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's in the water.

Honestly, it's a pretty bleak stretch ahead for the Broadway area. We're looking at a solid 16-day run with hardly a whisper of quality surf. For the next week and a half, there's just nothing to get excited about. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the conditions are, well, poor. It's a real dry spell, and for a spot like this, that's just how it goes sometimes. You gotta wait for the weather gods to sort themselves out.

Through the rest of August and into the first week of September, it's a real grind. Saturday the 22nd through to the 31st, we're looking at waves that are barely pushing 2 ft at best, mostly from the east-southeast, with a combined energy that's weak (38 to 106). The wind is all over the shop – cross, cross-on, cross-off – but never really making it work cleanly. It's a lot of choppy, onshore slop with a few moments of clean conditions on tiny, weak waves. There's a moment on the afternoon of Tuesday the 1st of September where the combined energy bumps up to 101 (moderate) and the waves are described as "surfable but very ordinary" – hardly a ringing endorsement. That's the best we've got, and it's still a 1 out of 10. The rest is a solid zero across the board.

As for the water, it's pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, no big anomalies to talk about.

So, the bottom line: no standout options, no sessions to mark on the calendar. The whole 16-day window is a bust. The only flicker of life is that Tuesday afternoon, September 1st, with a bit more energy and a clean wind from the northwest, but the swell is still only 1 ft with a long period of 14 seconds. That might mean a few lined-up, clean little walls at Broadway's jetty, but don't expect much. It's a promise, not a guarantee. For now, it's a waiting game.

Rusty, out.

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.
