The Lowdown

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

Right off the bat, I’ll be straight with you—this is a bleak stretch. The finder shows no surfworthy recommendations at all across the entire 16-day window. We’re looking at a long, empty gap with nothing to get excited about. The only break on the radar is Broadway, a beach/jetty setup that’s advanced-level and consistent, but the conditions just aren’t playing ball.

The first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 1st kicks off with tiny, weak 1ft to 2ft SSE swell and onshore wind, making for a messy, poor surf picture. Sunday and Monday stay locked in that same ugly pattern—cross-onshore wind, short-period junk, and wave energy barely making a dent. By Monday the 3rd, the swell pushes up to 6ft to 8ft from the south, and the combined energy hits 653 to 758 (moderate to strong), but it’s all wrapped in thunderstorms and cross-onshore wind. That’s not surfable—that’s a washing machine. For the advanced crew, a 8ft south swell at a beach/jetty with onshore wind? That’s more likely to be a kite session than a paddle session.

Midweek, Tuesday the 4th through Friday the 7th, the swell drops back to knee-high or below, with energy values in the low double digits. The wind keeps swinging onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave comment stays “poor surf conditions” all the way through. There’s no standout, no saving grace. Even the few moments of clean wind (like Monday the 10th morning with a light WNW cross-off) only give us 0.7ft of swell—not enough to ride a fish.

The second week doesn’t get any better. From the 8th to the 16th, we’re stuck in a cycle of tiny swell, short periods, and mostly onshore or cross-onshore wind. The only real change is a late pulse of 4ft ENE swell on Saturday the 15th afternoon, but that’s cross-on from the ESE and the energy is only 134 (weak), so it’s not going to deliver. The 3ft east swell on Sunday the 16th is too small and too onshore to matter.

Water temp at the start is 74°F, which is about normal for this time of year—no anomaly to speak of.

So here’s the truth: Nothing is worth paddling out for. No standout days, no hidden gems. This is one of those blank runs where the area just goes quiet. Forecasts can change, but right now, you’re better off waxing your board and waiting for a better window.

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.
