The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a write-off for any proper surf. Not a single recommendation in the whole forecast. That’s a long, dry spell stretching from the 1st right through to the 16th of September. If you’re itching to get wet, you’re better off with a longboard and a prayer, because the ocean’s just not cooperating.
The only spot on the cards is Broadway, a beach/jetty setup that’s better suited to advanced surfers when it’s on. But it’s not on. The whole forecast is a string of tiny, weak swell with combined energy barely cracking 51 (51 on the 1st, a paltry 19 on the 4th). The water’s a notable 76°F on the 1st, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a couple of degrees above average, so you’ll be comfortable just floating around.
We start the 1st with a 2 ft SSE swell, but it’s a short 7-second period and onshore wind, making for messy, poor surf. The 2nd sees a slightly better 2 ft SE swell with a longer 11-second period, but cross-off winds keep it clean but gutless. Through the 3rd, we get a glassy Thursday afternoon with 1 ft of SE swell – pretty as a picture but barely a ripple. The 4th and 5th drop to 1.0 ft and 0.7 ft, with clean conditions but zero push. The 6th and 7th are similarly flat, with a brief spike to 3 ft on the 7th afternoon, but that’s a 4-second period, onshore slop – basically whitewash.
The second week doesn’t get any better. The 8th is windy and lumpy, the 9th offers clean offshore winds but only 1 ft of swell. The 10th afternoon shows a 4 ft S swell with a 5-second period – still poor. From the 11th to the 16th, it’s a constant 0.7 ft to 2 ft of weak, short-period swell with combined energy mostly in the teens. The 16th has a little 2 ft E swell with 7-second period, but cross-shore winds kill any hope.
For a beach/jetty that’s fairly exposed, seeing this kind of flat run is more normal for the area. The setups look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on the windier days. Don’t lose hope, though – forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor forever. Keep an eye on the charts.
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.
Broadway is 49 km (30 miles) from Ocean City. If you plan a vacation in New Jersey, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ocean City. Ocean City has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
