The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. I’ve combed through the whole 16-day window for Broadway, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a total bust. From the 7th of September right through to the 22nd, every single session is rated as poor surf conditions. There isn’t one day worth chasing.
Wave heights top out at a measly 4 ft on the 9th, but that comes with a shocking 5-second period and a 19 mph onshore wind. The combined wave energy barely gets anywhere – the biggest reading is 78 on the 10th, which is still weak. Most days the energy is in the single or low double digits. It’s flat, it’s weak, and it’s messy.
The water temperature is 77°F, and that’s about 5°F warmer than usual for the time of year. Very unusual, but it won’t help the surf.
On the 18th of September Friday morning, there’s a tiny glimmer: a clean 3 ft swell from the west with a 4-second period and a 9 mph offshore breeze. It’s clean, but the swell is small and weak (44 combined energy), and the direction is all wrong for Broadway – it prefers a SE swell. The period is too short to hold any power.
The whole stretch is a long, blank run. For those who kite, the 9th with 19 mph onshore wind and choppy 4 ft windswell might be more interesting. But for surfers? Leave the board in the car. The break is for advanced wave riders and it’s consistent, but there’s simply nothing coming.
No standouts. Just a flat, empty forecast.

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.
