The Lowdown
Right, let's have a look at what's on offer for Broadway over the coming weeks.
Honestly, it's a bit of a grim stretch ahead for us here. Broadway is a beach and jetty setup that needs a decent swell and clean conditions to really fire, and we just aren't getting that combination for a long time. The water temp is sitting at about 74°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
We start off with practically nothing. From July 13th right through to the 19th, it's flat or close to it, with weak, short-period wind swell and messy onshore or cross-shore breezes. The energy readings are barely registering, so there's just no power. You'd be wasting your time and gas.
The first glimmer, and I mean a tiny glimmer, comes on the morning of Monday, July 20th. We see a pulse of 5ft swell from the ENE, but the period is a short 6 seconds. The energy bumps up a bit, hitting a moderate reading, and the wind is a light 3 mph offshore from the north. It's clean, but the waves are ordinary. It's surfable if you're desperate, but it's not pretty.
The rest of that week and into the next is more of the same junk. On the 21st and 22nd we get pulses of 4ft and 3ft, but the winds swing onshore again, chopping it all up. There's a clean spell on the morning of the 22nd with a light offshore, but the swell is tiny and weak.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. From July 23rd right through to the end of the forecast on the 28th, it's poor. Swell heights are under three feet and onshore winds or howling storms dominate. It’s a mess.
So, what’s the call? There isn't a true standout session in this entire 16-day run. The only day that might even get a board off the racks is the morning of July 20th. But even that one is a stretch. The rest is a flat, choppy wasteland. It's one of those periods where the ocean just isn't cooperating.

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.
