The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim outlook for Broadway over the next 16 days. The swell is tiny and the conditions are generally messy. We’re looking at a real struggle to find anything worth paddling out for.
The water temp is sitting at a remarkably warm 76°, which is about 5° above average for this time of year. That’s very unusual, but it’s the only exciting stat we’ve got.
There’s a big, flat gap from now until about the 21st of September where the swell is barely a ripple. We’ve got days of 1 to 2 feet of surf with poor conditions and onshore or cross-shore breezes. The combined wave energy is pitiful, stuck below 60 for most of that time. It barely counts as surf.
Then around Monday the 21st of September, a pulse of short-period, close-range windswell pushes through, hitting 5 to 6 feet by the 22nd. The combined energy ramps up into the moderate range (211 to 470). But here’s the kicker – it’s from the east with periods of just 6 to 8 seconds, and it’s accompanied by strong east to cross-onshore winds at 15-22 mph. For an advanced break like Broadway, this chunk of swell is going to be blown out and lumpy. The size is towards the bigger end, so beginners should give it a wide berth. The whole setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.
The week after, from the 24th to the 29th, we see a drop back to small, weak surf. There are a couple of moments on the 24th (Thursday morning) and 27th (Sunday) where the wind goes glassy or offshore and the waves are a *surfable* 3 to 3 feet. The combined energy is still weak (between 113 and 176). You might get a few weak, ordinary waves, but it’s nothing to get excited about. It’s a long, quiet outlook. With the break being fairly consistent, it tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, there’s not a single standout day to recommend.
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.
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.
