The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. It's been a barren stretch here, I gotta tell ya. For the next week and a half, Broadway (beach/jetty) is pretty much dead. There’s a faint heartbeat in the second week of the window, but it’s weak.
We start on Friday the 11th with nothing worth getting wet for. Tiny 1ft swell from the SSE with a short period. The wind is cross-off, but with the combined energy so low (25), it’s just chopping up bathwater. From Saturday the 12th right through to Friday the 18th, it’s a long, sad period. All small, junky onshore waves. The swell energy stays under 100 most days – a lot of effort for zero reward. Monday the 14th has a clean offshore wind, but the swell is only 1ft. It’s not enough to ride. That’s a long gap of nothing.
Here’s the one chance. Saturday the 19th of September. The morning brings a combined swell energy of 120 (moderate) with a 3ft swell from the East and an 8-second period. The wind goes light from the NW, cleaning things right up. This is the only session that has a shot. It’s still only okay, but it’s the best on offer. By afternoon the wind switches onshore and ruins it.
After that, it’s back to the grind. Wednesday and Thursday the 23rd and 24th see the swell jump to 4ft from the East. Energy hits 296 and 308, which is powerful. But the wind is howling – near gale force from the NE. You’ll be fighting the wind more than riding a wave. Thursday has a strong offshore breeze, but the wave height drops back to 2ft to 1ft. A tough paddle.
Looking further out to Saturday the 26th, we see another pulse of energy (203) with a long period (11 seconds) and a 3ft swell from the ESE. The wind is a fresh cross-off. It’s got some promise, but it's over a week away, so take it with a grain of salt.
So the only real call in this whole 16-day outlook is Saturday the 19th morning. About 3ft of East swell with clean, light wind. It’s the best of a bad lot.
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.
