The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and pull up a seat. Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for our patch. Gotta be straight with you – it’s looking pretty grim.
We’ve got a nasty run of small, weak swell and messy wind here at Broadway. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle. From Saturday 25 July right through to the end, it’s nearly all "poor surf conditions" – you’ll be fighting shin-high slop. There’s a couple of brief moments where the wind turns clean, like Sunday 26 July morning with a light NE breeze, but the swell is only 2 ft and the period is short. It’s just not enough to get excited about.
The best we can hope for is a window on Wednesday 29 July morning. We’ll see a 3 ft swell from the SSE (8 seconds) moving in, and the wind goes offshore from the N. The combined energy is moderate (120), so there’s a little bit of push, but it’s still a far cry from good. For a crew of advanced surfers, that might be a brief window to get a few grovelly ones before the wind shifts. The water is 76°, which is about average for this time of year.
Honestly, for the rest of the run, it’s flat or onshore junk. There’s a glassy morning or two, like Sunday 2 August and Monday 3 August, but with only 2 ft of weak swell, you’ll be sitting out there waiting for a ripple. It’s a long dry spell. Unless you’re a kite surfer looking for a stiff breeze, the paddle crew is out of luck.
We’ll have to chalk this one up to a classic summer lull. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, don’t hold your breath.
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.
