The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Broadway.

Honestly, this is a pretty grim stretch to start. Right through the end of August and into the first week of September, there’s next to nothing doing. The forecast shows a run of days where the swell is tiny, mostly 1ft to 1ft, and the energy is weak (10 to 48). The wind is all over the place, cross, cross-on, and onshore, leaving the surface messy. You’d be better off doing something else. This gap in any real surf lasts from the 31st of August right through to the 12th of September.

That first hint of something better comes on the morning of the 13th of September. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the south, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits 100 (moderate), and finally, we get some proper wind. The Sunday morning breeze is offshore from the NNE, and by the afternoon it’s glassy. It’s not going to be pumping, but it’s the only surfable wave on offer, and those conditions will make it clean. Tuesday the 15th of September morning sees a little pulse from the NE at 3ft, but it’s short period again and the energy is weak (55).

The standout here is clearly the 13th of September. It’s the only day with a real shot. The swell is 4ft from the south, and while it’s a short period swell, the glassy conditions on the Sunday afternoon will make it look a lot better than it is. It’s a beach and jetty setup, so don’t expect perfection, but it’ll be the best you’ll see in this window. Just keep in mind that a 4ft wave is fine for intermediates, but beginners might find it a bit much.

Look, the rest of the outlook is a write-off. Small, weak, and wind-affected. The consistent nature of the spot means it usually doesn’t stay this flat for long, but this forecast is a tough one. The 13th is your only real chance.

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.
