The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – we’ve got a long, flat spell ahead for Broadway. There’s absolutely no surf worth paddling out for in the next couple of weeks, so don’t bother rushing down there with your board.

The first sign of anything resembling a wave doesn’t show up until Tuesday, August 11th. That’s a solid week and a half of nothing. Up until then, it’s all tiny, weak swell mixing with mostly choppy or cross-onshore wind. The water temp’s about average for this time of year, just so you know.

The only day that even gets a mention is the morning of Tuesday, August 11th. We get a small pulse of groundswell coming out of the east, pushing in at about 3ft. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll lack real punch. Still, with the combined energy reaching 140 (moderate), and a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the WNW, Broadway could actually look rideable. It’s not a classic, but for an expert-only break, it might be a way to get wet.

After that morning, the swell drops away again through the rest of the week into Wednesday and Thursday, with the wind turning messy. It’s pretty grim overall.

For the entire 16-day window, if you’re desperate, the one and only shot is that Tuesday morning. Don’t expect much. The rest is a write-off.

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.
