The Lowdown
Hey mates, Rusty here, checkin’ out the next 16 days at Broadway. Gotta lay it on the line – we’re in for a real dry spell. From now, right through until the 19th of August, it’s gonna be almost completely flat.
You’ve got days and days of tiny, weak surf with combined wave energy barely hittin’ the double digits. The wind’s mostly clean or glassy, but with no swell to push through, it’s all for nothin’. Water temp is runnin’ at a nice 78°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. But for over a week, don’t bother with the board. It’s a normal quiet patch for this spot – it happens.
Then, Thursday the 20th of August morning finally shakes things up. The wind shifts to a glassy NNW, and we see a 4ft swell rollin’ in from the S, with a period of 6 seconds. The energy jumps to a moderate 174. The report calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so keep your expectations in check.
After that little pulse, it drops straight back to nothing for the rest of the outlook.
The one standout (and I use that word lightly) is the Thursday the 20th of August morning at Broadway. It’s the biggest swell of the whole stretch at 4ft from the S, and the glassy wind means clean faces. It’s a beach/jetty break, so that short period won’t give you much shape, but it’s the only window worth paddlin’ out. For beginners, 4ft can be a handful, and it’s rated as advanced, so know your limits. Crowds are often here, so expect company.
The rest of the fortnight is a total write-off.
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.
Broadway is 49 km (30 miles) from Ocean City. If you plan a vacation in New Jersey, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ocean City. Ocean City has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
