The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is a bit of a tough one to break, so I’ll be straight with you: the next two weeks are looking pretty flat for Broadway. The swell energy is just not there, and the wind is mostly working against us. From the get-go, Thursday 6th August through to the end of the first week, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves. The combined energy of all swells directed here is barely cracking 60 (a weak 38 to 59), and the period is short, around 4 to 7 seconds. That’s windswell at best, and the wind is either cross-on or onshore, so it’s going to be choppy and messy. There’s a run of clean conditions from Wednesday 12th August through to Sunday 16th August, with some cross-offshore and even glassy windows, but the swell is still only 0.7ft to 1ft. That’s barely a ripple. A few days in the middle of that period have some light offshore breezes, but without any real push, it’s just not worth paddling out for.
The second week isn’t much better. We get a bit of a pulse around Thursday 20th August, with combined energy jumping to 120 (moderate) and swell height hitting 4ft to 4ft, but the period is still a short 5 seconds, and the wind is cross-on. That’s going to be a lumpy, crumbly mess. The best looking window on the whole chart is the morning of Friday 21st August: glassy conditions, 2ft from the SSE, and a combined energy of 39. It’s still small, but with that glassy surface, a longboard would be fun for a few slow ones. If you’re desperate, that’s your best bet, but don’t expect any barrels.
Broadway is a beach/jetty setup, and with the poor quality and onshore winds, it’s looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most days. Realistically, we’ve got a 16-day gap with no standout surf. The water temperature is about 75°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.

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.
