The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get into it for Broadway.

Honestly, looking at the next two weeks, it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got a long, quiet gap to start with, so if you’re itching for a wave, you might be waiting a while. The water is a warm 77° right now—that's much warmer than usual for this time of year, by about 6°, so you won't be needing a thick wetsuit, that's for sure.

For the first week, from Thursday the 10th right through to the 17th, the surf is just not doing anything for us. The swell heights are tiny, bouncing between 1ft and a max of 4ft, but the quality is shot. The energy is weak, with combined swell energy values mostly in the low double digits (like 46, 22, 34). Most of this time the wind is messy—cross, cross-on, or onshore—and the period is short, around 4-6 seconds, creating weak, choppy lines. A couple of windows pop up, like Friday morning the 11th with a clean cross-off wind and Sunday afternoon the 14th with glassy conditions and a cleaner 1ft swell from the SE with a period of 9 seconds, but there’s just no power behind it. It’s a poor surf situation for anyone on a paddle board.

The pattern shifts a little heading into the second week, around the 18th. Friday the 18th shows a pulse of better energy in the afternoon: a 4ft swell from the ENE with a 7-second period, and combined energy climbing to a moderate 137, with clean cross-off winds. The 20th and 21st look like the only real standouts though. On Sunday the 21st of September, we see the biggest swell of the whole forecast. The morning shows a 6ft swell from the ENE with an 8-second period, and combined energy jumps to a strong 345. The afternoon holds that same 6ft with energy at 398, still clean under cross-off winds. That's borderline expert territory at 6ft, especially with that ENE direction and period just under the threshold for long period. It's a beach/jetty setup here, so that shorter period will keep it from closing out completely. This is a real window of opportunity for advanced surfers.

The next day, Monday the 22nd, still has some push with a 4ft swell from the E with a longer 10-second period and combined energy of 214, though the winds shift a bit. It’s a promising-looking couple of days, but remember this is far out—things can change. After that, it trails off again into small, clean but weak surf for the rest of the run.

So, the standout is Sunday the 21st at Broadway. It’s not perfect, but given the long flat spell before it, that 6ft swell with clean winds is your best bet by a long shot. The spot can get crowded often, so be prepared to share it. For the rest, it’s a waiting game.

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.
