Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer at Broadway over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak run. We’re looking at a solid 16 days here, and the first recommendation doesn't pop up until Tuesday the 7th of July. Before that, from the 4th through the 6th, it’s all poor surf conditions – tiny waves and terrible winds, so don’t even bother paddling out. That’s a three-day gap of nothing worth mentioning.

When we finally get a look-in on Tuesday the 7th of July, it’s only for the morning. We’ve got a 3ft swell pushing in from the NE with a short, weak period of 6 seconds. The energy is low, sitting at just 84, so it’s weak. The wind is offshore from the North at 12 mph, which will keep the surface clean. It’s surfable, but just barely. The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

For the rest of the run, it’s a whole lot of nothing. Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th stay poor, and the following days through to Sunday the 19th of July are littered with tiny swell, messy cross-shore winds, and periods of glassy conditions that still can’t put together a decent wave. Despite a couple of glassy moments on the 15th, 16th, and 17th of July, the swell is just too small and weak to surf.

The only standout, if you can even call it that, is the Tuesday 7th of July morning session at Broadway. It’s an advanced break, so you’ll need to know what you’re doing, and keep in mind it’s often crowded. With the swell coming from the NE, which isn't the optimum SE direction for this spot, and the wave period being short, the quality is still very limited.

Overall, this is a long stretch of flat-to-poor conditions. Not much for a surfer to get excited about, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Be patient, mate.

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.
