Table - best surf conditions forecast for Broadway over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Broadway over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’d be lyin’ if I said there was much to get excited about. This is a flat spell, plain and simple. The whole 16-day window is lookin’ pretty grim – we’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. The first real chance of anything, and I use that word loosely, doesn’t show up until late in the second week. For the most part, if you’re paddlin’ out, you’re doin’ it for the paddle, not the ride.
The water is a warm 76°F right now, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.
Let’s break it down. The first week and a half is a total write-off. From Thursday the 9th right through to Tuesday the 21st of July, it’s all under 3ft of swell – mostly scrapin’ in around 0.7ft to 3ft. The combined wave energy is almost always weak, often in the single digits or low double digits (like 8 to 63). Winds are a mixed bag of onshore, cross-on, and cross-off, but it doesn’t matter much when there’s no power. On Thursday the 16th, we get a glassy afternoon with a 1ft S swell, but that’s a lake, not a surf break.
The one day that might raise an eyebrow is Tuesday the 21st of July. By the afternoon, we’ll see a 4ft S swell pushin’ in, with a combined energy of 183 (moderate). That’s the biggest wave of the whole forecast. But here’s the kicker – the wind is howlin’ onshore from the SSE at 19 mph, makin’ it fresh cross-onshore and lumpy, so the quality will be poor. For an advanced break like Broadway, this is more of a wind-swell mess than a clean wave. It’s strictly for the experts, and even then, it’s a battle. The swell period is a short 7 seconds, so no real shape to it.
After that, it fades back into the same old story. Wednesday the 22nd through Friday the 24th are all onshore, choppy, and tiny. Nothin’ worth paddlin’ for.
The best on offer? Well, there is no standout. If I had to pick the least terrible moment, it’s that Tuesday afternoon on the 21st of July for the biggest push in size, but only if you’re a glutton for punishment and don’t mind bad wind. For everyone else, keep your board in the car and wait for the next forecast.
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.
