Table - best surf conditions forecast for Broadway over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here with the imperial take. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – the next 16 days at Broadway are a tough watch. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The whole forecast period is a write-off for any decent surf, so don’t get your hopes up.
We start off with nothing. Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th are flat and messy, with onshore winds and tiny, weak swell. The combined energy is barely registering (39 and 36 on Thursday, 31 and 34 on Friday). It’s just poor.
Saturday the 11th morning might be glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 1.0ft from the SSE with a short 6-second period – combined energy of just 16. It’s not surfable. Sunday the 12th through Monday the 13th sees a bit more height, hitting 3ft to 4ft from the east, but the period is a shocking 4 to 6 seconds, and the combined energy only gets up to 92. The wind is cross-offshore, keeping it clean, but the waves have no power. Still poor.
Tuesday the 14th morning is the first time we see a score of 1 – “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” The swell is 3ft from the ESE with an 8-second period, and combined energy hits 136. It’s the best we get, but that’s not saying much. The wind is light cross-off, so it’s clean, but the waves are weak and gutless. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
From Tuesday afternoon onward, it’s right back to poor. The swell drops off again, and by the end of the week and into the next, we’re looking at days of tiny, 0.3ft to 1.0ft slop, with combined energy in the single digits. There’s a brief pulse around Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st, where the swell tries to pick up to 4ft and 5ft from the south, but the period is still short (5-6 seconds) and the energy is moderate (185 on Monday afternoon). It’s still rated as poor surf.
Honestly, there’s no standout. There’s nothing to recommend. For a beach/jetty setup like this, with such weak, short-period swell and mostly onshore or cross winds, it’s a flat-lock. If you’re desperate, Tuesday the 14th morning is the only window with a pulse, but it’s a long shot. Keep the board in the car and wait for a better forecast.
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.
