Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for us. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough stretch. The whole 16-day period is looking pretty flat and disappointing. There are no good surf options on offer at all. For an area like this, a blank run is more normal when the stars don’t line up, and right now they really don’t.
Looking at Broadway on Tuesday the 7th of July, we’ve got tiny 3ft swell from the ENE with a short, weak 6-second period. The combined energy is a measly 56, which is weak. The wind is a cross-off, which would normally clean it up, but the surf quality is just poor. Water temp is a very unusual 77°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
The rest of the week is more of the same. Wednesday the 8th sees a 3ft swell from the E, still with a 6-second period, and moderate energy (97). Wind is cross-off in the morning, turning cross-on later. Thursday the 9th brings onshore wind with tiny waves. Friday the 10th has a brief moment with fresh offshore wind, but the swell is only 1.0ft – that’s just not enough to get excited about.
The second week doesn’t offer any relief. We’re looking at a long gap of flatness. Towards Saturday the 18th of July, the energy finally picks up to 163, which is moderate, with a 3ft SSE swell and an 8-second period. But even then, the forecast is still calling it poor surf conditions. The wind is cross-shore, so it’s not clean. Sunday the 19th has a 3ft SSE swell and a 9-second period with a cross-off wind, so the conditions *look* clean, but the wave quality is still poor. It’s just not delivering.
Nothing in this period is a standout. It’s one of those runs where you’re better off checking back later, because forecasts can change. For now, I’d keep the board in the car and look for something else to do. Rusty out.

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.
