Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. Looking at the next 16 days for Broadway, I gotta tell you, it’s a tough stretch. There's nothing really on the cards that I’d get excited about. The whole window is a long run of flat to tiny, weak swell, and the conditions are fighting against us most of the time. We’re looking at a solid two weeks of waiting.
Let’s run through it.
Starting out Sunday, July 5th, it's a non-starter. We've got a tiny 1ft swell from the SE with a short 8-second period. The energy is almost nothing, and the water is 76°, which is actually a lot warmer than usual for this time of year – about 5° above normal, so the water feels more like a warm bath than our typical winter ocean. But it doesn't matter because the wind is on it, and it’s poor.
Monday the 6th isn't any better. The swell bumps up a bit to 2ft, but the period drops to a shocking 5 seconds. That's just wind chop, not surf. The energy is still pathetic, and we have a cross-onshore breeze messing it up.
Tuesday morning the 7th offers a glimmer of hope with a glassy, offshore wind from the NNE. But the swell is only 2ft with a 5-second period, so it’s flat and gutless. By afternoon, the wind swings cross-off and the period stretches out to 10 seconds, which is nice for shape, but the swell height is just 2ft. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
The rest of the first week and into the second is more of the same. Wednesday and Thursday the 8th and 9th are tiny with poor form. Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th have that clean look again, with cross-off winds, but the swell stays below 2ft. The wave energy is still tiny, so you’re just paddling around on a lake.
Then we hit a proper dead patch. From Sunday July 12th through Saturday July 18th, the swell drops even further. We're talking ankle-snappers of 0.3ft to 2ft, and the period gets all over the place, including a 13-second period on the 12th, but with only 0.3ft of swell, that long period just means you’ll see a tiny, slow bump every half hour. Most of this week is plagued by cross-onshore or onshore winds, making it choppy or lumpy. It’s just not worth it.
Finally, we get to the last day of the forecast, Sunday July 19th. This is the only real standout, and it’s a long way off. The morning looks absolutely beautiful. A glassy flat calm from the SSW. The swell is still small at 2ft from the S with a 6-second period, and the energy is still low, but with glass, you can make the most of tiny waves at a beach break. If you’re desperate for a paddle, this is your best bet. Monday the 20th has a slightly bigger 2ft swell with a little more energy, but the wind is directly onshore from the SSE, so it’ll be a messy, blown-out mess.
Honestly, for Brooklyn, the next two weeks are a write-off for a proper paddle. The swell is tiny, the period is often short, and the wind is mostly junk. Your only real chance is that glassy Sunday morning on the 19th for some knee-high sliders. Otherwise, keep the board in the car 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.
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.
