The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this next stretch is flat. The forecast for the next 16 days has nothing worth paddling out for. Conditions are locked in a pattern of tiny, weak swell that just doesn’t have the push for a proper wave.
Broadway is the only spot in the mix, and it’s a real struggle. We’re looking at a long, dry run. The first few days through Thursday the 24th and into Friday the 25th offer nothing around 1 ft to 3 ft, with a short period of 4 to 8 seconds – that’s just wind chop, not a real swell. The combined energy is weak, ranging from 28 to 92 (weak energy), and the wind is either onshore or messy cross-shore. It’s a write-off.
Saturday morning the 26th sees a tiny bump to 3 ft from the ENE, with a period of 7 seconds, and while the wind is a gentle cross-offshore breeze, the wave comment says it all: “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” The energy finally ticks up to 139 (moderate), but it’s still not enough to get excited about. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 76°.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. From Sunday the 27th right through to Friday the 7th of August, every session is pegged as “poor surf conditions.” The swell never gets above 3 ft, and the period rarely hits 8 seconds. The combined energy drops to single digits on Thursday the 6th of August, with a glassy 0.7 ft wave – pretty, but unsurfable.
There’s a brief flicker on Sunday the 2nd of August afternoon with a 2 ft SSE swell, an 8 second period, and a clean offshore breeze from the NNW, but it’s just too small to do anything with. The rest of the period is a mix of light onshore breezes, cross-shore chop, and flat spells.
This is one of those stretches where the forecast is a blank sheet. It’s not unusual for this area to go quiet for a while, but it never stays poor forever. Keep an eye on the charts, things can change.
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.
