The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. I'm looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks and I gotta tell ya, it's a tough read. We've got a real flat spell on our hands to start. For the first nine or ten days, there’s just nothing doing. You're looking at waves mostly under 3 feet, a lot of it knee-high mush, and the winds are switching around all over the place. It's one of those frustrating stretches where you’re better off waxing your board, checking the webcam, and going back inside. I’m calling it: there's a solid gap of nearly a week and a half with no worthwhile surf on offer.
One thing that is notable is the water temp—it's 77°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year. So at least if you do get out for a splash, it won’t be a cold one.
Looking way out, there's a glimmer of hope late in the second week. On Monday the 21st, the ocean starts to wake up. The energy jumps from basically nothing all the way up into the 219 range by the afternoon, but we've got a fresh, lumpy cross-shore wind to deal with. It’s not going to be clean. Tuesday the 22nd brings even more juice—we’re talking waves pushing 5 feet in the morning with energy over 300—but again, that strong onshore wind is going to wreck it. And by Wednesday the 23rd, the winds go storm-force, blowing the whole thing out completely.
So, what are the standout days? Well, most of this is a write-off. The only real chances to get wet might be Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning, but you’ll be fighting the wind and some rough conditions. Honestly, that setup looks more fun for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There is no clean, quality swell here, no real winner to get excited about. It’s a long, bleak run of it, to be perfectly honest.
Alright, that's the report. Keep your head up and check back later.

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.
