The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. The 16-day window is a pretty flat and frustrating run for the Tweed River Breakwall. There’s a lot of days with hardly any swell, and when there is a bit of size, the wind or the period just messes it up. The first real surfable moment doesn’t show up until Wednesday morning, 9th September, and even then it’s very ordinary.
The water temp is sitting around 70°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Wednesday morning, 9th September – This is the only real window that looks even close to worth a paddle. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the SE with a 9-second period, but the wind goes glassy. That’s a big deal – glassy conditions at the Breakwall can make a small wave feel a lot more fun. The combined energy is weak (81), so it’s not going to be powerful, but it’ll be clean. Crowds are often a problem here, so expect company.
Thursday 10th September – The swell jumps up to 6ft from the SE with moderate energy (584 in the morning, 677 in the afternoon), but the wind is a strong cross-shore, making it lumpy and messy. Not worth it.
Friday 11th September – There’s a 10ft SSE swell in the morning, very strong energy (1491), but the period is only 9 seconds and the wind is cross. That’s a lot of power, but it’s going to be a choppy, closed-out mess. The afternoon drops to 6ft, same story. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.
Saturday 12th September through to the end of the forecast – We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak, or wind-affected waves. The swell rarely gets above 3ft, and when it does, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore. From Tuesday 16th September onwards, the swell is mostly under 3ft with short periods (6-8 seconds) and light to moderate cross-onshore wind. It’s a real dry spell.
The only standout, if you can call it that, is that glassy Wednesday morning on the 9th. It’s small, it’s clean, and it’s your best bet in a pretty bleak outlook. After that, you’re waiting nearly two weeks for anything half decent, and it doesn’t really come.
So, grab the 9th if you’re desperate, but otherwise, this is a tough one to get excited about.
