The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the forecast for Broadway.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is pretty grim. We’re looking at a whole lot of nothing for days on end. There’s a massive gap with no real surf on offer from now, all the way through until the 18th of September. The waves are tiny, the energy is pathetic, and we’re just not getting any decent swell.
For that whole stretch, the swell is barely a ripple, often under 2ft, and the direction is all over the shop. The wind is a mixed bag too, with a few moments of clean conditions, but with no swell to push, it doesn’t matter. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
The real story, and the only thing that saves this forecast, is the Saturday the 19th of September. Finally, we get a pulse of energy. The combined energy of all swells directed here hits a strong 794, and the swell jumps up to 6ft from the east-northeast. That’s a solid, powerful swell. The wind is offshore out of the east-northeast at 22 mph, which will keep the surface clean. Now, this is a beach/jetty setup, and with that size, it’s going to be a proper handful. This is not for beginners. It’s going to be big, powerful, and for the advanced crew only. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s a short-period wind swell, meaning it’ll be a bit fat and lumpy, but there’s enough energy to get some heavy, thumping closeouts or fast sections. Expect crowds here, because this is the only real show in town.
The tail end of the forecast on the 20th and 21st drops off again, with the swell fading and the wind turning more cross-shore, so the magic doesn’t last.
The one standout, the only one, is that Saturday the 19th. If you’re experienced and hungry, that’s your window. The rest of the 16 days, don’t even bother.

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.
