Table - best surf conditions forecast for Broadway over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with ya – this forecast is a tough one. We're looking at a long, dry spell for waves. The swell window just isn't lining up for anything good for most of the next two weeks. It’s going to be a lot of flat days and frustrating conditions before we see any real hope.
We start off with nothing. From Tuesday, July 7th right through to Saturday, July 18th, it’s a complete washout. Swell heights are tiny, mostly under 2.6 ft, and the direction is all wrong for our setup here at Broadway. On top of that, the wind is a messy mix of onshore and cross-onshore for much of that stretch. You’ll see the combined swell energy barely cracking 50 (54 for the Tuesday morning slot, for example), that's pure dribble. The water is a very unusual 77.4° – that’s 6° warmer than average, so you’ll be sweating in a wetsuit if you bother to paddle out, but the waves just aren't there.
Around Sunday the 19th, things get a little more interesting, but still not great. We see a jump in swell height to 5.6 ft from the South, with combined energy hitting a moderate 285. That’s the biggest pulse of the whole run. Problem is, it's an onshore wind from the S/SSE, making it a lumpy, blown-out mess. At 5.6 ft, it's getting big enough for advanced guys only, but the quality just isn't there. That’s your one and only real pulse of energy in the whole 16-day window, and the wind kills it. After that, it drops back to small, weak surf for the final few days.
If the wind swings around to the NW or offshore for that Sunday 19th pulse, you might get a session, but as it stands, this is a kite-surfing week, not a surfing one. We just have to wait for a change in the pattern.

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.
