The Lowdown
Right, I’ve had a good look at the charts for the Broadway area, and I gotta tell ya, it’s a bit of a grim stretch ahead. The 16-day window is looking mighty quiet, with a real lack of decent swell.
Let’s break it down. The first bit of surf that’s even worth a mention doesn’t roll in until Monday, August 10th. That’s a solid week of flat, poor conditions to get through. We’re talking days of onshore winds, stormy weather, and tiny, messy waves. The wind is mostly from the south or south-southeast, constantly blowing onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of things. Even the occasional glassy morning on Tuesday, August 4th, only had a weak 3 ft SSE swell, which was just not enough to get excited about.
So, the only real standout, and I’m using that term loosely, is Monday morning, August 10th. The finder shows a little pulse of life. The swell is a modest 3 ft from the SSE, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is a clean, light offshore from the NNW, which is a major positive. The water is about 74°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The combined wave energy is 98, which is weak. It’s surfable, but just barely. It’s clean, but it’s not going to set the world on fire. This is a spot for the dedicated, advanced surfer only, as it’s not a beginner wave. The consistency is good, but it rarely breaks with any real quality.
After that brief window, it’s back to the doldrums. The rest of the week is a mix of light winds and small, weak swells, but nothing that would make you want to paddle out. The whole period is a real test of patience.
So, to sum it up, the best you’re looking at is a very average, clean session on Monday the 10th. Don’t get your hopes up for anything else. This is one of those times where the forecast is just plain poor for the whole 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.
