The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Broadway’s got cooking for the next two weeks.
Honestly, I’ll call it like it is: the next 16 days look bleak for any decent waves. The first chance to even think about a paddle comes on Monday the 7th, and it’s small and pretty lifeless from there. We’re looking at a long, quiet period with tiny swell and a lot of wind messing things up. There are no real highlights. The combined energy readings never get out of the weak range, topping out at 81 on the morning of Thursday the 10th, which is still not much. It’s a poor pattern. The water here is running 3° warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 77°, so at least the conditions will feel good while you’re waiting for nothing.
Monday morning the 7th is clean with a tiny 1ft of ENE swell at a short 7 seconds. It’s flat, weak, and the 5 km/h NNE cross-off wind keeps the surface glassy, but there’s no push. Monday afternoon picks up a little period from the east at 10 seconds but is still only 1ft with a light cross-on wind. Tuesday the 8th is even smaller – 0.7ft from the east – with a morning WNW cross-off that keeps it clean but tiny.
Wednesday the 9th sees the swell bump to 2ft from the SSW in the morning, but the period is a terrible 4 seconds, purely wind swell. The 20 km/h SSW cross-on makes it choppy. By afternoon, the onshore wind cranks to 30 km/h and it’s a blown-out 3ft mess. Not worth it. Thursday the 10th brings the biggest swell of the forecast: 4ft from the SSW at 6 seconds, but with a 25 km/h WSW cross-off wind creating a lumpy cross-shore chop. That setup looks more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surf day.
After that, it’s all downhill. Friday the 11th morning is clean with a tiny 1ft groundswell from the SSE and a sweet offshore NNE breeze, but there’s no power. The rest of the week fades into tiny dribbles with onshores, or clean but completely flat conditions like the glassy 0.3ft swell on Thursday the 17th. There’s nothing for beginners (the swell never tops 3ft anyway) and nothing for experts. It’s a total blank run for Broadway, which for this area is a normal thing when the forecast lines up this way.
Keep an eye on it, but for now, the only thing worth recommending is a wetsuit for the warm water. I got nothing else.
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.
