Alright mate, let’s break it down for Broadway, but in feet and miles an hour since we’re going imperial. Over the next 16 days, there’s not a single session worth paddling out for. Every one of ‘em is rated poor with a score of zero – which means you’re lookin’ at a whole lot of nothing.
Starting Sunday, July 5th: we’ve got a 1 ft SE swell with a short 8-second period and weak energy – only 15 units. Winds are cross-on from the SSE at about 6 mph. Tiny and choppy. Monday brings a bump to 3 ft but it’s windswell from the SSE, still only a 5-second period and 67 energy. Tuesday morning goes glassy but the swell drops to 1 ft – mirror flat.
Wednesday through the second weekend, a few clean breezes show up, like Wednesday morning with a cross-off wind from the ENE at 12 mph, but the swell is still just 1 ft. On Monday July 13th, we finally get a moderate energy day – 126 units with a 4 ft ESE swell – but the wind is cross-on from the SE at 9 mph and the period is only 6 seconds. Choppy and weak.
The second half of the run, around July 18th and 19th, shows the biggest energy readings: 142 and 174 units, with swell up to 4 ft. But it’s all onshore from the south and the period stays short at 7 seconds. That means blown-out, messy surf. No good.
Water temp is about 76°F, which is nearly 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s warm, but it doesn’t help when there’s no wave. Broadway is an advanced spot, fairly exposed and needing a SE swell, but it just doesn’t get it during this stretch. It’s a long, dry spell. Things might change, but right now the forecast says leave the wax at home.

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.
