The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, this is a bleak run for Broadway. There’s not a single standout session in the whole 16-day window. The energy is just weak, and the conditions are rarely on our side. The water temp is sitting at 76°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing your butt off waiting for a wave that never comes.

We kick off on Saturday, July 25th, with a tiny 2 ft swell from the SE clocking in with a weak 61 combined energy. It’s cross-offshore wind, but the waves are just too small and weak to get excited about. The afternoon bumps up to 2 ft, but it’s still ordinary. Sunday the 26th is more of the same – 2 ft in the morning with 101 energy (moderate, but still weak), and the wind is light, but the waves are just surfable, not good. By Sunday afternoon, it’s dropping to 1 ft and onshore, so game over.

The whole first week is a write-off. From Monday the 27th right through to the end of July, we’re stuck with tiny swell under 3 ft, mostly onshore or cross-onshore breezes, and energy levels barely cracking 60. The best you’ll see is a glassy moment on the morning of Friday, July 31st, with 3 ft from the east, but with a period of only 6 seconds, it’s short period junky stuff. It’s still poor.

The first week of August looks no better. We’re looking at a solid 10-day gap with no real recommendations. Swell stays below 3 ft, winds are predominantly onshore, and the energy is pathetic – mostly in the 20-70 range. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Tuesday, August 4th, with 2 ft and 73 energy, and a cross-offshore wind, but it’s still poor. The same goes for the morning of Wednesday, August 5th.

The second week is more of the same. Tiny, weak swell, onshore winds, and poor conditions. The morning of Saturday, August 8th, has a glassy 1 ft, 8-second period swell from the SE – but with only 19 energy, it’s barely a ripple.

Honestly, if you’re a paddle surfer, you might as well take the next two weeks off. The setup here, with the beach/jetty vibe and steady onshore winds most days, would actually be more interesting for the kite crew. For the rest of us, it’s a long, blank stretch. But this is Broadway – it tends not to stay this poor forever, and forecasts can change.

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.
