The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the Tweed River Breakwall over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim run for the Tweed River Breakwall right now. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Thursday the 20th of August, and even then it’s only marginal. The wind is from the S at 3 mph, making it glassy, with swell coming out of the E at 4 ft and a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (206). But it’s described as “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions,” so it’s not going to be anything to write home about.
The best of a very average bunch looks like Thursday the 20th of August into Friday the 21st of August. On Friday morning, we get a brief window of glassy conditions with NE wind at 3 mph, and the same 4 ft E swell at 8 seconds. The energy is still moderate (196). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The offshore wind direction matches the optimum ENE only loosely, so the waves might be a bit soft and wonky. It’s a point break that’s consistent, and it’s exposed, so it will pick up what’s out there, but don’t expect anything special.
There’s a notable pulse on Sunday the 23rd of August – the swell jumps to 7 ft from the SSE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is strong (811). That’s a lot of juice. But the wind is a cross-shore S at 12 mph, and it’s rated as marginal. For a point break, that size with a cross-shore wind will be messy and probably too big for anyone but experienced surfers. It’s more likely to be a choppy, blown-out mess than a good day.
From the 24th of August onward, the swell drops right off – under 3 ft most days – and the wind stays mostly cross or cross-on. The energy falls into the weak category (less than 100). There’s a glassy moment on the 25th of August morning, but with only 1 ft of swell, it’s barely a ripple.
The water temperature is 68°, which is 1° cooler than average for this time of year – pretty normal, nothing wild.
Bottom line: There’s no standout session in this 16-day window. The best you can hope for is a very ordinary, glassy morning on Friday the 21st of August. After that, it’s flat or poor. For a break that’s usually consistent, this is a dry spell, but forecasts can change.
Rusty.
