The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Alright, I’m gonna be straight with you—this stretch of coastline is struggling. We’ve got a 16-day window, and the first real sign of life doesn’t show up until Thursday the 30th. That’s a solid week of nothing much. So, grab a coffee and wait.
The only break in the game is Broadway, a beach/jetty spot that’s for advanced surfers only. It’s consistent, but the swell is tiny. For the first few days, it’s all 0.4 to 0.7 feet of short-period slop from the SE, with periods around 7-8 seconds. The combined energy is weak, mostly under 100 (23-95). The wind is cross-offshore or cross-shore, keeping the surface clean, but there’s just no power.
Then, on Thursday afternoon the 30th, we get a little flicker. A 0.8-foot SSE swell with a 10-second period, and the combined energy climbs to 141 (moderate). The wind turns offshore from the NNE, and it’s glassy—clean lines, decent shape for the size. It’s surfable, but nothing special. At 0.8 feet, it’s not going to draw a crowd.
After that, it’s back to the grind. The swell drops, the wind goes onshore from the south, and most of the time it’s choppy or just weak. By the 7th of August, Friday morning, there’s a 1-foot south swell with a short 6-second period, and combined energy of 225 (moderate). But the wind is cross-onshore from the WSW, so it’s going to be a messy, lumpy mess. At 1 feet, it’s not big, but the short period makes it ugly. Honestly, that’s more kite-surfing weather.
The water temp is about 76°F, which is roughly 2°F warmer than average—nothing crazy, just a little bonus.
The one standout is that Thursday afternoon the 30th at Broadway. The offshore wind, the clean surface, and the slight bump in period make it the only session worth paddling out for. But keep your hopes low—it’s tiny.
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.
