The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s run through the Tweed River Breakwall forecast. Honestly, it’s a bit of a rough patch ahead. A lot of wind-affected, messy days, but there’s one light at the end of the tunnel if you’re patient.
The first bit of notable swell hits on Thursday, September 10th. We’re looking at a 6ft SSE swell, but it’s a windblown mess with a 35 km/h cross-shore. The energy is moderate, but the conditions are poor. That’s more of a kite day than a paddle day.
Friday, September 11th, is the big one. The morning fires up with a 10ft SSE swell and a 9-second period. The combined energy is strong. But with a 25 km/h cross-shore, it’s a lumpy, expert-only affair. Too big and messy for anyone else. The afternoon sees it drop to 6ft, but the wind stays fresh, so it’s still not clean.
The weekend of the 12th and 13th is a skip. 5ft to 5ft swells, but all with a cross-onshore wind. Choppy and poor.
The middle of the week, from the 14th to the 17th of September, is flat and weak. Swells drop to 2ft-3ft with short periods. The wind does go light and clean a few times, but there’s no wave energy to ride. The combined energy is very low. Clean, but nothing to surf.
Now, the pick of the period. On Sunday, September 20th, we get a 4ft SE swell with a 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate, but the key is the wind: a 25 km/h NNW cross-offshore breeze. The morning is described as clean. That’s your window. The break is a point, so it’ll handle that SE swell just fine, and the offshore wind will make it look like a treat. This is the best session of the whole 16 days. Get in the water early before the afternoon wind picks up.
After that, it’s back to tiny and onshore for the rest of the run.
Water temp is about normal for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
The Tweed River Breakwall is a consistent spot, but this forecast is a grind. The 20th of September morning is your one true standout. Don’t sleep on it.
Rusty.
