Table - best surf conditions forecast for Broadway over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna be straight with ya – the outlook for Broadway over the next 16 days is a tough one. We're looking at a long, dry spell with very little to get excited about. Honestly, from now until around the 18th of July, it’s a real bummer. There's a big gap of nearly a week and a half where the waves are just too small or the conditions are all wrong. The water is sitting at 76°F right now, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only highlight.
Let's break it down. Right through the first week and into the second, we're seeing tiny, weak swells. The first few days are a write-off with poor surf and wind that's all over the place. There's a moment on Saturday the 12th afternoon where we get a bit of a bump – 3ft from the east with a 5-second period – but it's weak, with combined energy of only 42. It's clean, but it's just not enough to get the heart racing.
The only real, and I mean *only*, flicker of hope comes late in the period. On Saturday the 18th of July, a new swell pushes in. We're looking at 4ft on the morning from the SSW, rising to 5ft in the afternoon from the S. The combined energy jumps to 105 and then 157, so we're finally talking about some moderate wave energy. The downside – it's a short-period swell, around 5 to 6 seconds, so it'll be a bit lumpy and won't have that classic groundswell power. The winds are messy too; moderate cross-shore in the morning, turning to a gentle cross-onshore in the afternoon. It's not going to be a clean, pristine day, but it's the only surfable size we've got in the whole outlook. For a more advanced crew, this could be worth a paddle, but don't expect perfection.
After that, it drops back off again. The 22nd of July brings a bit more size, 4ft to 4ft from the east, but again with short periods and moderate to fresh cross-offshore winds. It stays clean, but the energy is only moderate. Crowds are a concern here too – this spot is "often" busy, so if you see a pulse, you won't be alone.
To be honest, for most of this 16-day window, the surf is tiny and weak. If you're a kite surfer, the bigger days on the 18th with the onshore wind might look more interesting than a paddle session. But for us surfers, we're just waiting for a change in the 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.
