Table - best surf conditions forecast for Broadway over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve looked the charts over for Broadway and it’s a quiet spell, no doubt. Long gaps of nothing, with just one bright spot you’ll want to save for.
Right now through to Sunday, July 14th morning, it’s all small, messy, and not worth a second look. Tiny surf and poor wind. Stay on the beach.
The one to circle is Tuesday morning, July 14th at Broadway. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the ESE at 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is solid at 503 (moderate to strong). The wind is a light, glassy offshore from the WNW—perfect conditions for this beach/jetty break. This is advanced-level power, so it’s for the experienced only. Water temp is much warmer than average at 77°, which is a nice surprise. Crowds are often here, so expect a few others, but with glass like that, it’s worth it.
After that, it fades fast. Tuesday afternoon the wind goes onshore and the swell drops. The rest of the week and into the third week is mostly small, weak swells and poor wind. July 21st Tuesday afternoon has a glassy 4ft swell from the south, but the period is short (5 seconds) and energy is low (94). It’s surfable but nothing special. Otherwise, it’s a long, dry stretch.
So, the call is clear: Tuesday morning, July 14th is the only real play. The rest is quiet.
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.
