The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty.
Honestly, looking at the next 16 days for Broadway, it’s a tough sit. We’ve got a real lean spell on our hands. The first good surf recommendation isn’t until Monday, August 3rd, so that’s over a week of small, choppy, or onshore junk from now. The whole period is a struggle for consistent, quality waves.
There’s really only one morning that stands out as worth a look, and that’s Monday, August 3rd. The morning session is the pick of the entire forecast. The swell bumps up to a weak 3 ft from the SSE, but the combined wave energy finally climbs into the moderate zone at 136. The wind will be a gentle cross-shore breeze from the east, keeping it clean with just a slight bump. It’s still small, but for this entire stretch, it’s the best on offer.
For the rest of the run, we’re looking at tiny surf. Swell heights mostly hang around 1 ft to 2 ft with weak combined energy readings (often below 100). The wind is a constant problem, swinging from onshore to cross-onshore, especially in the afternoons, which chops things up. The sea surface temperature is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 76°.
The crowds at Broadway can be an issue, it’s often busy, so on that Monday morning, expect a few others with the same idea. But given the pickings, it’s about the only window for a paddle.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
