The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up for us.

Well, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough run ahead. We're looking at a real flat spell for Broadway, with nothing but tiny, weak dribble on the cards. The water's sitting at a very warm 77°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so the ocean's got that bathwater feel. The first sign of anything remotely rideable isn't even until Sunday morning, September 6th, and even then, it's just 0.7ft of easterly slop. For the next ten days, every session is rated as poor surf conditions, with the swell energy barely ticking over – you'll see readings like (8), (12), (19) – that's weak, lifeless energy. The biggest day in the first week comes Thursday, September 10th, with the swell pushing to 4ft from the SSW, but the period is a short 5 seconds, and it's accompanied by a moderate cross-shore wind. Combined energy gets up to (95), which is still only moderate. It's gonna be messy, choppy, and not worth paddling out for. This is an advanced break, but even for the experts, there's nothing to get excited about. If the wind stays up and the surf stays this poor, this stretch of beach might actually look better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Then, from around Tuesday, September 15th, we get a few glimpses of cleaner conditions with light offshore winds, but the swell just isn't there – we're talking 1.0ft. There's a bit of a bump on Friday, September 18th, with 2ft waves from the east and clean conditions, but the energy is still just (42) and the period is a short 6 seconds. The crowds at Broadway are often there, but with waves this small, it might just be a quiet paddle.

This is a tough one to call a standout. Honestly, for the whole 16-day run, there isn't one. The most promising-looking slot, if you're desperate, would be Friday morning, September 18th, at Broadway. You'll get clean, cross-offshore winds from the NE at 9 mph and a tiny 2ft easterly swell. The period is only 6 seconds, so it'll be weak and crumbly, but at least it'll be clean. Don't expect any power.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a complete write-off. The second week offers cleaner conditions but with minimal swell. Keep your eye on the forecasts, 'cause it tends not to stay this poor for long. But for now, leave the board at home.

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.
