The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at the charts for the Tweed River Breakwall.
Honestly, mate, it’s a bleak run coming up. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but truth be told, there’s hardly a sniff of decent surf in it. The entire period is littered with poor surf conditions, and I’m calling it straight: there’s no standout session to get excited about. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a quiet spell that’ll test your patience. The first couple of days, Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st, offer up some tiny, short-period swell, but the winds are all cross or cross-on, leaving the surface chopped up. Not worth paddling out for.
The best of a bad bunch might be on Thursday, the 10th of September. We’ve got a bit of a pulse in the water, with a combined energy of 134 (moderate) on the Thursday morning, climbing to 181 (moderate) that afternoon. Swell is coming from the SE at 3ft, with a period that stretches to 11 seconds later in the day – that’s a bit of groundswell energy starting to show. But here’s the kicker: the wind is light ENE, straight onshore, which ruins any chance of clean lines at this point break (Tweed River Breakwall). The water temp doesn’t even matter because the waves are a mess. It’s a classic case of a bit of size but zero quality. Even the Friday the 11th sees clean glassy conditions with a NNW cross-off on the 2nd of September, but the swell is only 2ft and the energy is weak (63). That’s not enough to ride.
Bottom line: if you’re desperate for a paddle, the cleanest-looking windows are the mornings with light offshore winds, like Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd of September, but the swell is tiny (1ft to 2ft). Don’t expect any power or push. This stretch is a write-off for any real surfing. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so that’s nothing to write home about either.
It’s one of those times where you might want to take up another hobby for a couple of weeks. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s looking empty.
Rusty.
