The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

Well, mates, I gotta be straight with ya – this stretch is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, frustrating gap with nothing worth paddling out for. From Tuesday the 15th all the way through to Tuesday the 29th of September, it’s basically a flat spell or blown-out junk. We’re talking 15 days of poor surf conditions, with tiny waves, onshore winds, and weak energy. Don’t bother checking the cams.

The only flicker of hope shows up right at the end of the period, on Wednesday the 30th of September. That morning we finally see some life at Broadway. It’s a beach and jetty setup, so not exactly a point break paradise, but we’ll take what we can get. The swell comes up to a clean 3.3 ft from the east, with a period of 8 seconds – that’s a short period windswell, so don’t expect bombs, but it’ll be rideable. The wind is offshore from the north at 16 mph, keeping the surface clean. Combined energy hits 143, which is moderate energy – finally something with a bit of push. Water temp is 75.9°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit. The afternoon holds similar conditions: 3.3 ft east swell, 9-second period, offshore NNW breeze at 9 mph, and energy up to 159. It’s still just “surfable but very ordinary,” so don’t expect perfection.

If you’re an expert, that Wednesday is your only window. The 3.3 ft is small enough for a shortboard but not big enough to get excited about. Beginners could handle it too, as it’s under 5 ft. Crowds are often here, so expect some company. The swell direction from the east matches the optimum SE direction close enough, and that offshore wind is the key – it’ll make it rideable.

For the rest of the 16 days? Honestly, leave the board at home. There’s no standout session here, just one day that breaks the drought. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a long, flat run.

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.
