G’day, I’m Rusty, and here’s how the surf’s looking at Broadway.
Right now we’ve got a long quiet spell ahead. For the first week, from Monday the 6th of July right through to Sunday the 12th, it’s pretty much flat or tiny mush – heights barely scraping 0.7ft to 4ft, and even when it’s clean like Tuesday morning with that light offshore from the N, it’s just too small to bother with. The water’s running at 77°F on Monday afternoon, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – a solid 6°F above the norm, so that’s a nice bonus if you’re keen for a swim but not for a proper surf.
The first real flicker of hope arrives Monday the 13th of July morning. A clean 6ft E swell with a 7-second period and light N offshore – that’s a genuine chance. Combined energy is 295, so there’s moderate grunt in the water. It’s a beach/jetty setup, and with that short period (less than 8 seconds), the waves will be a bit soft and crumbly, but for an advanced spot, it’s worth a look. Tuesday the 14th morning pushes up to 7ft from the E at 9 seconds, with combined energy soaring to 1029 – that’s strong wave energy. But the wind is cross-shore from the WSW at 9 mph, which will put a slight cross-chop on it. That size is really only for experts; over 8ft would be a no-go, so this is right on the edge for experienced surfers.
After that, the surf drops again. From Wednesday the 15th onward, we’re back to tiny, weak 0.7ft to 2ft waves with poor conditions most days. There’s a little bump on Monday the 20th of July with 4ft S swell, but it’s cross-onshore at 6-9 mph and combined energy around 107-115 – weak and messy.
So the standout for this whole period is without doubt Monday the 13th of July morning. Clean, 6ft E swell, light offshore breeze from the N, and the swell direction (E) is a decent match for the optimum SE. It’s not huge, but it’s the best wave you’re going to get. Tuesday the 14th morning has more size but with that cross-chop, it’s a close second for experts only. Expect crowds often at Broadway – it’s a consistent spot, so you won’t be alone on that Monday.
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.
