The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days are a dud for Broadway. There’s no surf worth paddling out for at all. Every single day comes back with poor surf conditions. You’re looking at a blank run that starts now and doesn’t let up through the whole window. That’s a long stretch of nothing.
We begin from Wednesday, August 5th. Wednesday afternoon sees weak 3 ft swell from the SSE with a choppy period of just 4 seconds and a 15 mph southerly blowing straight onshore. Combined energy is feeble (24). Water temp is 75°, about average for this time of year.
Thursday the 6th is no better – morning has 3 ft SSE swell at 6 seconds, cross-onshore, choppy. Afternoon is similar with 3 ft S swell, still onshore. Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th? More of the same – tiny, messy, onshore muck.
Sunday the 9th through to Wednesday the 13th? Still nothing. A few glimpses of clean conditions on the morning of the 13th with glassy winds, but the swell is a pathetic 1 ft. Doesn't matter how glassy it is if there's no wave to ride.
From the 14th to the 19th, we get a bit more wind – some cross-off days on the 16th and 17th – but swell stays under 2 ft and the period is short. The energy never climbs above 29, which is weak as dishwater.
Thursday the 20th shows the highest energy of the whole forecast at 100, with a 3 ft SSW swell and a light southwesterly breeze, but it’s still rated poor surf. That’s not a standout – that’s just the least bad of a shocking run.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a write-off for surf at Broadway. For kite surfing? Might be more interesting when that southerly pumps up to 22 mph on the 19th, but for paddle surfing – leave the boards at home. Forecasts can always change, but right now there’s nothing to get excited about.

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.
