The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get stuck into the 16-day outlook for Broadway. This ain't for the faint-hearted, and right now, the ocean is sleeping. The whole run kicks off on Monday the 3rd, giving us a few days of flat calm to start.
We wait through Sunday with rubbish, choppy conditions. Then, look here – Monday the 3rd of August morning. This is the stand-out window. A solid 6ft groundswell (combined wave energy of 624) is showing up out of the SSE. The keys here are a light WNW breeze keeping things cross-offshore. That's clean juice, folks. The swell period is 8 seconds, so it's got a bit of shape. This is advanced territory today – waves over 5ft and a beach/jetty setup means it's not for learning. Get on it early before the wind shifts.
By Monday afternoon, it drops back to 4ft and turns onshore, so that morning window is the one.
Tuesday thru the weekend is a write-off. Small scraps, mostly onshore wind. The mornings on Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th offer clean, cross-offshore breezes from the NW, but the swell is pathetic at 2ft and 0.7ft. It's just not worth paddling out. Kites might get a laugh on some of those windier afternoons, but for a surfboard, it's flat.
The only other flicker of life is a brief clean-up on Saturday the 15th. We get a fresh N wind blowing offshore, but again, the swell is a tiny 1ft from the SSE. Small, weak, and super inconsistent. Then Sunday the 16th morning turns clean with a NNE cross-offshore breeze and a slightly better 2ft swell from the SSE. Still small and weak (combined energy of 42), but it's the only other clean window in the whole stretch. If you're desperate, it'll be a longboard session.
Overall, the first week is a dud and the second week is begging for a swell. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, nothing wild. We get one decent, clean, advanced session on Monday the 3rd. After that, it’s a long stretch of near-nothing.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
