The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Alright, let's be straight with you. We're looking at a pretty grim stretch ahead for Broadway. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for any kind of decent surf. Honestly, there isn't a single day where the conditions are worth paddling out for. The energy just isn't there, and we've got a long, flat run ahead of us.
Looking at the start, Monday the 7th through to that Tuesday the 22nd is essentially a dead zone. We're talking about two full weeks of absolutely nothing doing. The combined energy of the swells is almost always in the weak zone, with numbers mostly in the teens or single digits, just not enough to push anything rideable. Wednesday the 9th gets a bit blustery with a cross-on wind, and later that week, we see a little bump, like Thursday the 10th with some 4ft swell from the SSW and moderate energy, but the wind's all wrong – cross-on and messy.
Saturday the 12th does bring a glassy morning, which is nice to see, but with a tiny 1ft of swell, it's just a flat, pretty lake. There's a brief moment of hope on the 21st where the afternoon shows a 5ft swell with some real energy behind it, but again, the onshore wind will chop it to bits. The only flicker of something that *could* be there is Tuesday the 22nd when we get a clean, light breeze and 6ft swell from the east with solid energy, but it's still rated as poor. With conditions like this, if you're desperate for a session, you might be better off looking at a kite setup for that choppy S/SW wind we've got.
It's a tough run, but that's how it goes sometimes around here. The break is fairly consistent, so this blank period is a bit of an anomaly. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, don't bother checking your board. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
