The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Broadway. I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is pretty grim. From now until the morning of Sunday the 9th of August, it’s a flat, blown-out mess. We’re talking a solid nine days of nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is tiny, weak, and short-period. The combined energy barely cracks 50 (40 or less most days) – just a sad, choppy lake out there. If you’re a kite surfer, the onshore breeze might get you going, but for a surfboard? Forget it.
Then, finally, there’s a flicker of hope. The morning of Sunday the 9th of August is the standout. A solid SE groundswell rolls in at 4 ft, with a proper long period of 12 seconds. That’s got some real push behind it, and combined energy jumps to 330 (moderate wave energy). The real kicker? A light offshore breeze from the NW, keeping things clean. Broadway is a beach/jetty setup, and with that long period, it might be a bit straight and dumpy, but for the first time in over a week, there will be rideable waves. Just be warned, this spot is for advanced surfers only, and it’s often crowded – so expect company.
The water temp is about average for this time of year. After that Sunday morning window, the swell hangs around on Monday the 10th at 3 ft with a 11-second period, but the wind swings cross-off in the morning, so it’s still surfable, just not as clean. The rest of that week looks messy again with cross-shore winds chopping it up.
So, bottom line: there’s one real window – Sunday the 9th of August morning. It’s not perfect, but it’s the only game in town. Get it while it’s clean.
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.
