The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got the lowdown on what’s brewing for the Tweed River Breakwall over the next couple of weeks.
Look, straight up, the 16-day window is a bit of a mixed bag with a whole lot of average. The swell is mostly small, and the wind is all over the shop. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, mostly wind-affected surf, but there are a couple of windows where the conditions line up for a sneaky session.
The main event around here is the Tweed River Breakwall. It’s a consistent point, so it’s got that going for it, but it can get busy. The best of the best is shaping up for Wednesday morning, 26 August. The swell is a tiny 3ft from the ENE, but the real selling point is that clean offshore wind from the WNW. It’ll be glassy, and with a light breeze on a clean surface, it’ll be some of the most user-friendly waves on offer. The swell energy is weak (91), so bring a groveler.
The other standout worth a mention is Friday morning, 28 August. Again, it’s small at 3ft from the ENE, but the wind goes glassy, dead calm. It’s a great chance for a super clean, easy paddle session on that point. The energy is still weak (84), but it’s the quality of the ride that counts.
Don’t get too excited about the bigger numbers later on. There’s a pulse of energy on Sunday, 30 August with swell hitting 3ft from the SE, and the combined energy jumps to 244 (moderate), but the wind is cross-shore and messy. That’s a kite surfer’s day, not a paddle surfer’s. The week after that is a write-off of small, cross-onshore junk until Monday, 7 September morning when it goes glassy again, but it’s still only 2ft. The forecasts are a bit more of a gamble that far out, but it’s a clear window to keep an eye on.
For the beginners out there, the swell never gets above 4ft, so it’s never too big, but the quality just isn’t there most days. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
In short, there’s no epic swell, but there’s clean, small waves to be had if you’re keen. The best bets are the Wednesday and Friday mornings in the first week.
Rusty.
