Alright, grab a seat. Rusty here.

It’s a rough start out at Broadway. We’re looking at a solid stretch of flat, poor waves for the first week and a half. The swell is tiny, all under 3 feet, and the wind’s mostly from the wrong direction – cross-onshore or howling onshore from the SSE, making for choppy, messy conditions. Combined wave energy is non-existent, sitting below 100 (weak). Honestly, from Sunday the 5th through to Sunday the 12th of July, it’s a write-off for a paddle. You’d be better off with a kite if the wind picks up.

There is a glimmer on the horizon. Monday, July 13th is when things finally wake up. The morning sees the best swell of the whole window: 5 feet from the East, with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NE and a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 226 (moderate), and it’s a clean setup. This is the standout and the only real chance to get wet. For an advanced-only spot, this is when you want to be there. Water temp? It’s about average for the time of year, so no surprises.

After that little burst, it fades fast. The afternoon turns choppy again, and the rest of the week into the 20th drops back into the doldrums with weak, 1 to 4 foot leftovers and onshore winds. The second week is quiet, with nothing worth chasing.

Bottom line: One morning to aim for – Monday the 13th. Get on it early, because that’s the only window on offer.

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.
