The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s coming up for Broadway over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week is a bit of a write-off. We’re looking at a run of tiny, weak swells and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds that are gonna leave it chopped up and messy. The energy is barely there, with the combined swell energy lurking below 100 for days on end – it’s just not going to be worth paddling out. There’s a stretch from Monday the 27th of July right through to Sunday the 2nd of August where every session is rated as poor surf. You’d be better off doing something else. Even the glassy morning on Saturday the 1st of August only has a tiny 1ft swell, so it’s flat despite the clean conditions.
The real talking point, the only thing worth getting a little excited about, is Monday the 3rd of August. We’ve finally got some energy showing up – the combined swell energy jumps to 229 (moderate wave energy). It’s a 4ft SSE swell, with a 9-second period, which is a decent groundswell. The kicker is that Monday morning looks clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NW. This is your standout window. Now, Broadway is a beach/jetty setup that’s fairly exposed to the SE, and that 9-second period means the waves should have a bit more shape and push to them. Keep in mind this break is for advanced surfers, and the 4ft is right on the edge of being too big for beginners. Also, crowds are often here, so expect company in the water.
After that brief highlight, the energy drops right back off. The rest of the week through to the 11th of August just fades back into tiny, weak swells with poor surf conditions and combined swell energy mostly under 100. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report.
So, to put it plainly: if you’ve got a window, aim for Monday morning the 3rd of August. The rest of the 16-day forecast is a long, flat gap.
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.
