The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Straight up, the Tweed River Breakwall is looking grim for the next couple of weeks—not gonna lie. We’ve got a solid run of no good surf for nearly 14 days, and that’s the honest story.
Right now, the 9th and 10th are tiny and messy—waves around 2 to 3 feet, period 8-9 seconds, and combined energy barely reaching 94 (weak). Water temp’s about 70°, dead normal for this time of year. Nothing to get excited about.
Thursday the 10th picks up to 5 to 6 feet, but with 19 mph cross-shore winds and lumpy chop, it’s a washing machine. Energy hits 285 and 550 (moderate to strong), but it’s all over the place. Friday the 11th stays rough—5 feet but short-period and rainy.
From the 12th through the 22nd, it’s a flattie. Waves drop to 2 to 4 feet, periods down to 6-7 seconds, energy mostly under 200 (weak to low-moderate). There’s a tiny bump on the 14th afternoon—4 feet, but short and onshore. It’s a dead zone.
Now, the one spark: Wednesday the 23rd afternoon. Swell picks up to 4 feet from the ENE with a period of 10 seconds, and energy jumps to 247 (moderate). Wind’s light cross-onshore—not glassy, but okay. It’s still marginal, but it’s the closest thing to a surfable wave we’ve seen all fortnight. Thursday the 24th morning keeps 4 feet at 9 seconds, but the afternoon gets blown out with 22 mph winds.
That Wednesday session is your best bet—but it’s two weeks out, so treat it as promising, not guaranteed. The Breakwall often has a few locals out, and with this dry spell, it’ll likely be a bit crowded. It’s a point break, so it’ll hold shape better than a beach, but keep your hopes in check.
That’s the rundown. Hang in there, keep the board ready. This flat spell won’t last forever. Rusty out.
