The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Alright, mate, let’s call it as it is—Broadway is flat out dead for the next 16 days. There's no surf worth a damn. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the energy is just pathetic.
Starting Thursday, September 3rd, we’ve got a 1ft swell from the SE with a 9-second period, but it’s cross-onshore and poor. Energy is a weak 41. Friday the 4th is even smaller, 1ft to 1ft, same story. Saturday the 5th morning gives us a gentle offshore from the N, but the swell drops to 1ft with only a 6-second period—barely a bump, energy down to 23. Sunday the 6th sees 0.3ft and moderate cross-off winds. Forget it.
Monday the 7th morning has a gentle offshore again, with the swell lifting to 2ft from the E and an 8-second period, but the energy is still weak at 44. The afternoon sees the same 2ft swell with a longer 11-second period and energy jumps to 130—but the wind turns onshore and ruins it. Tuesday the 8th is more junk: 2ft, cross-shore, poor.
Wednesday the 9th brings a 2ft swell from the SW, but with a pathetic 4-second period and strong cross-onshore winds, it’s choppy and ugly. Energy is only 27. Thursday the 10th is similar—2ft, short period, moderate winds. Then from the 11th to the 12th, the swell shrinks to 0.7ft and even 0.3ft, with onshore winds and barely any energy. Friday the 11th afternoon has a glassy moment with 0.7ft from the ESE—pretty but flat.
Sunday the 13th afternoon sees the biggest swell of the whole run: 2ft from the SE with a 10-second period and energy up to 127, but the wind is onshore, making it poor. Monday the 14th afternoon has a 3ft swell from the SSE, but with a 4-second period and only 45 energy, it’s gutless and messy. The rest of the run to the 18th is all 1ft to 2ft swells, short periods, and onshore or cross-off winds. Nothing.
There’s no standout. Not one day where it all comes together. The best wind—offshore on the 5th morning, or glassy on the 17th—is wasted on zero swell. If you’re at Broadway, you’re just waiting.
Hang in there, mate.
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.
