The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty lean run. The whole 16-day window is a struggle, and honestly, there’s not a single session that I’d call a proper standout. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and iffy winds to work through first. From the 3rd of September right through to the 7th, it’s flat or near-flat, with the combined swell energy barely registering (39 is the highest in that first block). You’d be battling for a dribble.
The first real hint of anything surfable comes on Monday the 7th of September. Broadway is the only game in town. The early morning shows a tiny 2ft easterly swell, and the combined energy climbs to a weak 82 – still nothing to write home about. The real kicker is the wind: a light offshore from the north, 9 mph. That’ll keep the surface clean. The water is much warmer than usual for this time of year, coming in at 77°F. But the swell period is only 10 seconds, so it’s a mix of ground and wind swell, and the size is minimal. It’s a tough call, but it’s the best on offer.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. The rest of the run is plagued by onshore winds, tiny swells, and very poor conditions. We see a bump in swell energy on the 13th and 14th, with the combined energy hitting 99, but it’s windswell from the south-southwest and southeast with a period of just 6 seconds, and the wind is howling onshore at 19 mph. That’s a choppy, blown-out mess, and with the beach setup, you’d be better off looking for a kite.
So, overall, stay patient. The first week is a write-off, and the second week doesn’t offer much redemption. The one bright spot, Monday morning, is worth a look if you’re desperate for a paddle, but keep your expectations low.
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.
