Table - best surf conditions forecast for Broadway over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Broadway over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s gonna be a tough run. The entire 16-day window is looking pretty bleak with no real surf to get excited about. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves that just aren’t going to deliver. The first solid week is basically a write-off, with nothing worth paddling out for. The energy is weak, and the conditions are messy.
The first time we even see a pulse of energy is on the morning of Sunday, July 27th, when the combined swell energy climbs to 133 – that’s moderate energy, finally. The swell height bumps up to 4 ft from the S, with a period of 8 seconds. But the wind is gonna be a cross-shore from the E at 16 mph, putting a chop on the face. It’s still not a great picture, but it’s the best we’ve got in the whole outlook. Even then, it’s a beach/jetty setup that’s advanced-level, so don’t expect any easy waves.
Before that, the water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual to report.
The only real highlight, if you can call it that, is the morning of Tuesday, July 14th. We get a tiny 1 ft swell from the ESE, but the wind goes glassy from the NW at just 3 mph. It’ll be clean as a whistle, but there’s simply no push. You’ll be floating around on a lake.
Honestly, for most of this period, the wind is either onshore or cross-shore, and the swell is tiny. This stretch looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, with the wind and chop. We’ve got a long gap of nothing until that last day, and even then, it’s nothing special.
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.
