The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – looking at the 16-day window for Broadway, it's a tough one. We're looking at a long, lean stretch with hardly anything worth paddling out for.
Right now and for the next ten days or so, it’s grim. The waves are mostly small and weak, with the swell energy barely cracking 23 on the Sunday morning, and it stays below 100 for most of the run. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, chewing up whatever tiny lumps are out there. Monday the 3rd sees a pulse of swell energy jump to 211 with chest-high 4ft surf from the SSE, but a cross-on SW breeze and thunderstorms spoil it all. That same size rolls into the afternoon with a little less wind, but it's still cross-on and messy – not your day.
Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th offer cleaner conditions with cross-off winds, but the swell drops away to knee-high or less and the energy fades. It's just not doing anything. From the 6th through the 10th it's a mix of onshore winds and small, weak swell. A couple of mornings might look clean, but there’s simply no wave power behind them.
For advanced surfers only, there's a flicker of hope on Tuesday the 11th. The morning shows a NW cross-off breeze cleaning things up, with the combined swell energy hitting 91 – still on the low side. It’ll be waist-high at best, but the wind is offshore and the conditions will be glassy. It's the best we've got in a week of poor surf, but it's a marginal call.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. From the 12th right through until the end of the 16-day window, it's all knee-high slop, onshore wind, and weak energy readings mostly well below 50. The 15th of August shows a slight uptick in energy to 152 with 4ft on the S swell, but it's accompanied by onshore wind and a risk of thunderstorms. For a beach/jetty setup like Broadway, that’s just messy and blown out – more of a kite-surfing breeze than something for a paddle board.
Honestly, my advice? Save your energy. This run is a blank. There's nothing here to get excited about. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave the board in the car.
Stay salty,
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.
