The Lowdown
Alright, let’s put it in feet and miles. Broadway is pretty much flat to start. You’re lookin’ at a serious dry patch from now through to the 23rd of September—almost ten days of barely a bump. Most days you’ll see waves only 1 to 2 feet out of the SE or E, with weak energy readings (31 down to as low as 14). Sure, Wednesday the 16th morning is glassy with a slight breeze, but there’s no power behind it. Even the clean times have you just paddlin’ around. Not worth it.
Then around the 21st of September, the ocean wakes up. Swell jumps to around 6 to 7 feet from the east, but the wind is messy—fresh cross-shore and lumpy—and the energy climbs into the 500s. That’s some real power, but it’s not clean. Thursday the 24th is the one. Morning brings 6 feet east swell at 10 seconds, a light offshore cross-off breeze from the ENE, glassy clean conditions, and combined energy at 544. That’s the window. It’s not massive, but it’s your best shot at a decent wave at Broadway (beach/jetty, advanced). The crowd tends to be pretty common there, so expect some company.
Water temp is nothing unusual for the season. After the 24th it fades fast. The 25th gets messy again with strong onshores, and by the 26th it’s clean but dropping to 3 to 4 feet.
If you want a wave, set your sights on the morning of the 24th. That’s the highlight. Otherwise, it’s a whole lot of waitin’.

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.
