The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s talk about the next couple weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking lean. There are long stretches of nothing, so don’t get too worked up.
The first chance of a surf comes on Tuesday the 8th of September, but you can give it a miss. We’ll see a bump to 4ft from the SSE, but it’s blown out with a 25 km/h cross-shore wind and the period is a dismal 4 seconds. That’s just a junky windswell. The water temp is a normal 71°F, nothing out of the ordinary.
Wednesday the 9th is where it gets a little better. First light is glassy with a light 5 km/h SE wind and a clean 2ft swell at 9 seconds. It’s small, but it’s clean. This is the best we’ll get for a while, so if you’re desperate, that’s your window.
Then the wind turns on us. From Thursday the 10th through Sunday the 13th, the swell builds to a fun 6ft from the SE, but it’s constantly shredded by strong cross-shore winds, blowing up to 30 km/h. The energy is moderate, but it’s all for nothing. It’ll be lumpy, choppy, and a real battle. Not worth getting wet for.
After that, from Monday the 14th, the swell just dies. We’re looking at tiny, short-period junk for the rest of that week, with barely a wave breaking. There’s another moment on Tuesday the 15th morning with a glassy 2ft, but it’s a tease at best. From the 14th to the 18th, it’s basically flat.
Now, for the good stuff. You have to wait until the end of the run for a clean one. Saturday the 19th of September morning is your best bet. It’s clean, with a cross-offshore breeze from the NNW at 25 km/h, and we’ve got 2-3ft of NE swell wrapping in. It’s not big, but it’ll be clean and playful on the Tweed River Breakwall. That’s the standout of the whole period. The next morning, Sunday the 20th, is also clean with a light cross-offshore and a small 2ft swell. And again on Wednesday the 23rd morning, you’ll see a clean 2-3ft from the NNE with an offshore breeze.
So, the plan is simple – forget the first week, it’s a mess. Target those clean mornings in the second week. Those are the only times the Breakwall will be worth your while.
