The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Broadway over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—this is a lean stretch. There's nothing worth paddling out for from now until the 21st of August. The swell is tiny, the periods are short, and the wind is messy. It's a long, flat, boring run. Honestly, if you're looking for a wave, maybe take up golf for a bit.
We finally get a glimmer of hope on the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August. The swell is small, but it's from the ESE at 2ft with a period of 11 seconds and a glassy wind. The energy is still weak (97), but it's clean. You'll be on a longboard, but it's surfable. Don't expect much.
The only real standout, and I'm saying this with caution, is the morning of Sunday the 23rd of August. The swell jumps up to 5ft from the S, but the period is a short 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (313), but the wind is onshore from the SSW. This is a beach/jetty setup, so it's going to be a bit of a messy, choppy affair. It's not ideal, but it's the biggest wave we've seen in this forecast window. For the advanced crew, it might be worth a look, but beginners, stay away—that's getting too big for you. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Overall, it's a pretty grim outlook. The 22nd morning is your best bet for a clean, tiny wave, and the 23rd morning offers the most size, but it's rough. There's really nothing to get excited about.
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.
