The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the Tweed River Breakwall forecast for the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you: this stretch is a rough one. The point’s pickin’ up some swell but the wind and conditions are just not cooperating. It’s a real battle to find a decent wave.
The water temp is sittin’ around 70°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday, the 6th of September. The afternoon session is the standout. We’re lookin’ at a clean 5 ft swell from the north, with a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy’s moderate (204), and the clean conditions make it rideable. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s a bit of a wind swell, but for this stretch, it’s the best you’ll get. It’s a consistent point break, so it’ll be breaking, but crowds are often here, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.
Monday the 7th, the morning brings a bigger 6 ft swell from the SSE, but it’s cross-shore and a bit lumpy. The energy is strong (473), but the quality is marginal. It’s a bit of a messy one, and the swell is just over the 5 ft mark, so it’s already getting a bit much for beginners.
After that, it’s a whole lot of ordinary. We’ve got a week-long gap from Monday afternoon through to the 15th of September where the surf is mostly poor. It’s a mix of small, weak waves, cross-onshore winds, and chop. Not a lot to get excited about.
Then, on Wednesday the 16th of September, the morning throws us a curveball. It’s glassy, with a 4 ft swell from the SSE, but the period is a short 5 seconds. The energy is weak (82). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon sees a bigger 5 ft swell from the SE, but it’s onshore and messy, so that’s a no-go for a paddle.
The rest of the week into the 20th is more of the same – small, weak, and blowy. A long, drawn-out period of nothing special.
So, your best bet is that Sunday afternoon (6th September) at the Tweed River Breakwall. It’s the one highlight in a pretty bleak outlook. Don’t get your hopes up for much else.
Rusty.
