Table - best surf conditions forecast for Broadway over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you – it’s a pretty grim run ahead for Broadway. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. The combined wave energy starts at a weak 24 and only just scrapes into the moderate range with a 279 on the 20th of July, but the quality is still shot. There’s a real gap of nothing good here, so don’t hold your breath.
For the morning of Friday the 10th of July, we’ve got a tiny 1ft swell from the east at 8 seconds. The wind is a cross-off, so the surface is clean, but there’s just no power. The combined energy is a weak 24. That’s pretty much the story right through the weekend and into the next week. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Saturday the 11th of July morning is glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft with a period of 4 seconds – that’s windswell junk. Sunday the 12th brings a bit more wind, but the waves are still 0.7ft to 2ft. It’s a rough, cross-shore mess.
We get a slight bump on Wednesday the 15th of July afternoon, with a 4ft swell from the south, period of 5 seconds. The combined energy hits 73, but it’s onshore wind and the wave comment is “poor surf conditions.” Not worth getting excited about.
The biggest energy we see is on the 20th of July, Monday afternoon, with a combined energy of 279 and a 4ft south-southeast swell at 8 seconds. The wind is a clean cross-off, so conditions aren’t messy, but the guide says it’s “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” That’s the only spot all period that gets a score of 1 out of 10, and even that’s a stretch. For a beach/jetty setup, this is weak.
The rest of the fortnight is a mix of onshore winds, cross-shore chop, and tiny swell. A 4ft lump on Saturday the 25th of July gets smashed by a 19 mph cross-on breeze, making it rough and lumpy – more of a kite session than a surf.
Honestly, there’s nothing here that’s worth paddling out for. The consistency is there, but it’s all poor quality. Keep the board in the shed and wait for a better forecast.

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.
