The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be honest, it’s a pretty flat and frustrating stretch ahead for Broadway. We’ve got a long dry spell to get through before anything even worth paddling for shows up.
Right now, and for the next several days, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves. The combined swell energy is barely registering, often sitting in the weak range (55) down to almost nothing (6). Most of the time you’ll be staring at little bumpy lines blown out by onshore or cross-onshore breezes. Through the weekend and into next week, it’s all poor surf conditions. There’s a short window on Tuesday the 12th and Wednesday the 13th where the wind goes clean and cross-offshore, but the swell is so small – like 0.7 ft to 1 ft – it’s barely a ripple. A glassy clean surface with no waves isn’t much use.
This poor run of tiny surf and onshore slop stretches on basically until the third week of August. There’s not a single standout day in the 16-day window. The only time things start to look slightly different is around Sunday the 16th. The afternoon swings to a clean cross-offshore breeze and the swell bumps up a little (3 ft from the S), but the period is short (5 seconds) and onshore in the morning. It might be worth a quick look, but with combined energy at 56, it’s still weak and barely rideable on a longboard.
Honestly, for the advanced crew at Broadway, with the swell coming from the S and SE, it's just not going to offer anything decent. The water temp is sitting around 76°, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. Best bet is to check the forecasts again in a few days, because this blank run looks set to be the norm for the area right now.

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.
