The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase – if you’re looking for a proper surf at Broadway over the next two weeks, you’re in for a long wait. The first ten days are mostly flat, with tiny, messy waves. There’s a brief, weak window on Monday the 7th and another on Sunday the 13th, but that’s about it.
From now through Sunday the 6th, the swell is tiny – under 2 feet – with short periods and a lot of wind. Strong southerly winds on Thursday the 10th don’t help. The first glimmer comes Monday the 7th morning: offshore north wind, light breeze, and the swell hits 2 feet from the east with a 10-second period. The combined energy is 113 (moderate) – it’s surfable, but nothing special.
Then it’s back to tiny stuff until Sunday the 13th morning. That’s your best bet. The swell is 3 feet from the northeast, with a 7-second period and combined energy of 97 (weak). The wind is glassy – a slight air from the northeast – so it’ll be smooth. Get on it early, because by afternoon the wind turns onshore and ruins it.
After that, it’s a mess. Tiny swells, cross-onshore winds, and a lot of nothing. There’s a spike on Saturday the 19th morning with 4 feet from the ESE, but the period is short at 6 seconds and energy is 100 (moderate), and the wind is cross-off from the WNW – not clean. Water temp is about average for the season.
Broadway is an advanced spot, so it’s not for beginners. With the optimum swell direction from the SE, we get a little of that early on, but it’s just too small. Honestly, unless you’re desperate, wait for a better swell.
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.
