The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I gotta be straight with you – the next two weeks are gonna be a real test of patience. There’s just nothing on offer for a solid stretch. It’s a dry spell that’s going to last from now, through the end of August and well into the first week of September.
We’re looking at a total blank from Monday, August 31st, right through to Sunday, September 13th. That’s a two-week gap with no worthwhile waves. The water is a balmy 76°F which is about 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s beautiful for a swim, but that’s about it.
The only faint glimmer I can see is on Monday, September 14th. The morning starts off with a dead flat glassy ocean at Broadway (beach/jetty), with a tiny 1ft swell from the SE at a short 9 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 14 – we’re talking total flatness. The afternoon sees a bit more energy, jumping to 4ft from the NE, but the period is still short and the wind is onshore, so it’s not going to be pretty. Honestly, this is kite-surfing territory if anything.
The whole 16-day window is a write-off for a proper surf. Don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s grim.
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.
