The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s happening at Broadway in feet and miles per hour.

To be straight with you, the first two weeks are a total write-off. September 1st through the 15th is a dry spell with almost no surf to speak of. We’re talking tiny, weak waves, mostly under 1ft, with poor winds. The combined swell energy is barely a whisper, mostly in the single or low double digits, and the wind is all over the place – cross, onshore, messy. Don’t bother paddling out.

The only glimmer of hope comes on Wednesday, September 16th. The morning brings a 4ft swell from the south, and the wind goes light offshore from the north, cleaning it right up. The afternoon improves a touch, with the swell reaching 5ft from the south. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 153. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the northwest, so the surface will be clean. This is the only window that’s worth a look in the whole 16-day forecast. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best on offer.

For Broadway, a 5ft swell is a decent size, but it’s a short-period windswell at only 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and lack real power. Don’t expect long, clean lines. The clean wind is the saving grace. Broadway is a beach/jetty spot that’s fairly exposed, so it’ll catch this southern swell. It’s an advanced break and it’s consistent, but it often gets crowded, so expect plenty of other surfers in the water. The water is running at 25°C, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be fine in a spring suit.

If you’re looking to kitesurf, the 11th of September with a 3 to 4ft southerly swell and a strong cross-onshore wind might be your jam. But for the paddlers, that Wednesday the 16th is your only real chance. It’s a long way out, so check the updates, but for now, that’s the one.

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.
