The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days at Broadway are looking pretty bleak. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much on the cards, with only a tiny flicker of hope right at the end of the first week.
From Tuesday the 28th of July all the way through to Monday the 3rd of August, it’s a write-off. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the energy is just pathetic – combined energy values are barely scraping double digits, with a lot of readings in the 20s, 30s, and 40s. That’s weak stuff. The wind state is mostly cross-off or cross-on, but with so little swell, it doesn’t even matter. It’s flat, and it’s going to stay flat.
Then on Monday the 3rd of August, things get a little interesting. The afternoon brings a bit of life. The swell ticks up to 3 ft from the SSE, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy finally jumps to 127 (moderate wave energy), and we get a clean, cross-off breeze from the ENE. It’s not pumping, but it’s surfable – the first real window in the whole forecast. The water temp is about 75° with a tiny anomaly of +0.7°, so it’s basically normal for this time of year, which is fine.
This is the one standout, and it’s not a classic. For an advanced spot like Broadway, a 3 ft S-SE swell with a short 7-second period isn’t going to give you barrels, but it’ll be clean and you’ll get a few rides. The wind is good, and the break is fairly exposed to the SSE swell, so it’ll pick up what’s there.
After that, from the 4th of August onwards, it all falls apart again. The swell drops back to 2 ft or less, the energy plummets, and the wind turns cross and cross-on. It’s a long, flat run to the end of the forecast window. There’s a moment on the morning of Monday the 10th of August with glassy conditions and a 1 ft SE swell, but the energy is only 35 – it’s too small to be worth the paddle.
So, if you’re desperate, Monday afternoon the 3rd of August is your only window. It’s not much, but it’s the best we’ve got. Otherwise, you’re looking at a lot of time on the beach.
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.
