The Lowdown

Text 2 (Imperial)

Alright, folks, it’s Rusty here. I’m looking at the next couple of weeks for Broadway, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a grim stretch. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but the first week is pretty much a write-off for any kind of real surf. The first few days, from Thursday the 3rd through to Sunday the 6th, we’re seeing tiny, weak waves with combined energy readings barely reaching 40, and the wind is all over the place – cross, onshore, you name it. It’s just not worth the paddle.

Then we get a bit of a flicker on Monday the 7th. A small 2ft easterly swell rolls in with a period of 11 seconds, which is proper groundswell. The combined energy hits 85. That’s still weak, but it’s the best we’ll see. The water’s a very warm 77°, which is a massive 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a real surprise. The wind is light offshore from the NNW in the morning, so it’ll be glassy. But the swell is tiny, and with an 11-second period at a beach/jetty, it might break a bit straight. Still, Monday morning is the only window that looks even remotely surfable. It’s an advanced spot, and it’s *often* crowded, but with waves this small, I’d be surprised if it’s packed.

From Monday afternoon right through to the end of the outlook on Friday the 18th, it’s back to tiny, weak, and messy. The wind gets real strong on the 9th, with a southerly howling at 25 mph, and the swell is short period and wind-affected. The combined energy is mostly in the teens or 20s. For a few days in the middle of the second week, we get a bit of a long-period swell (13 seconds) from the ESE on the 17th and 18th, but it’s only 0.7ft to 1ft – not enough to push you along. The wind is offshore, so it’ll be clean, but there’s just no power. It’s a tough run. If you’ve got a kite, you might get a laugh on the 9th when the wind is strong and the waves are messy, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a blank. The forecast can change, but for now, keep your board in the car.

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.
