Table - best surf conditions forecast for Broadway over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is a tough one for us here at Broadway. Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak run for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at a solid gap with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for from now, Saturday the 11th of July, all the way through to July 23rd. That’s nearly two weeks of flat, messy, or just downright ugly conditions. It’s one of those blank runs where you just gotta wait it out.
The only glimmer we get lands on Friday the 24th of July. That morning, we finally see some life with a 4ft S swell, and a period of 8 seconds. The wind goes light offshore from the NNW, so it’ll be clean. The wave energy is still pretty weak at 188, so we’re talking small, weak lines, but at least it’s surfable. That afternoon is the absolute standout of the entire forecast. The swell bumps up a touch to 4ft from the S, and the wind goes totally glassy. For a beach/jetty setup like Broadway, glassy conditions are gold. The energy climbs to 202. It won't be pumping, but if you want the cleanest, most user-friendly wave of the whole outlook, that's your window. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Saturday the 25th of July keeps the S swell going at 4ft in the morning, with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NE, energy at 208. It’s still a small, average wave. By the afternoon it gets a bit bumpier and jumps to 5ft, which is starting to get a little chunky for the average punter here. After that, it looks like it drops back off again.
So, to be straight with you, if you’re desperate for a paddle, pencil in the afternoon of Friday the 24th. Otherwise, save your wax. It’s a long, dry spell for Broadway, mate.

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.
