The Lowdown
Alright mate, let’s talk about the Tweed River Breakwall for the coming couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a quiet start. There’s a big stretch of days where you’re better off staying on the sand. From Tuesday morning all the way through to Saturday the 20th, the surf is poor – wind is either cross or cross-onshore and it’s ruining any chance of a clean wave.
Things start to nudge toward “maybe” around Monday the 20th afternoon, but it’s still iffy. The real moment comes on Saturday the 25th morning. That’s the one. The wind goes glassy (Slight air) and the wave state is clean. Swell is 5 ft from the east with a long 12-second period. The combined swell energy sits at 655 (moderate), so there’s a good push behind it. With that long-period groundswell and a point break setup, it’ll wrap in nicely. Water temp is about 69°F, right around average for this time of year, nothing unusual. The Tweed River Breakwall (Tweed River Breakwall) is a consistent spot, and crowds are often a thing here – but on a clean Saturday morning like that, it’ll be worth the company.
After that, it fades. A few mornings are clean-ish but nothing special, and by Monday the 27th we’re back to lumpy cross-chop with the swell dropping off fast.
So look, the first week and a half is mostly a bust. The only true standout is Saturday the 25th morning. Paddle out then, because the rest is either messy or too small to bother.

Information about the Tweed River Breakwall Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tweed River Breakwall provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tweed River Breakwall can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tweed River Breakwall surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Tweed River Breakwall) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Tweed River Breakwall may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
